I was completely and utterly mesmerized by a woman last night.
My friends and I were out enjoying some live music and while it was a very lively “scene”, most people were standing around just talking and mingling. No one was really dancing yet…
No one except for HER.
This woman was completely immersed in the music. Her eyes were closed, her body was swaying to the beat, and her lips were just slightly curved upwards in a secret smile that told me she was thoroughly enjoying herself.
It was obvious that she didn't care what people thought about her or if she was (or wasn’t) attracting attention.
She was truly dancing like no one was watching and she was absolutely f*cking radiant.
She oozed confidence.
She just had this intangible “QUEEN” energy about her that I can’t quite put into words.
As I watched her I thought to myself, “Now THAT is a woman who is connected to her power and her pleasure.
In a world where so many walk around feeling insecure, uncomfortable in our bodies, or worried about what people are going to think about us, it was such a gift and a delight to see a GODDESS who was so embodied in her pleasure.
But let’s rewind a bit….
I used to be a very insecure woman. There was a time when seeing a woman fully embodied in her pleasure and her power would have made me very uncomfortable. In fact, I probably would have felt jealous and even judged her by thinking she just wanted attention.
The truth is that the reason why seeing a woman in her power made me so uncomfortable (or jealous), was because deep down, I wanted to be that woman too. She was just a mirror reflecting back to me the areas within in myself where I was rejecting my own power. But she was also showing me by her example how to claim it.
Seeing another woman in her radiance used to intimidate me UNTIL I started turning up my own light and stepping into my own power & pleasure.
As women, when we heal our inner feminine and step into our power and our pleasure, THIS is when we go from seeing a radiant woman and feeling uncomfortable to seeing a radiant woman and thinking “F*CK YES WOMAN, SHINE BRIGHTER!!!!” This is when we go from feeling insecure to feeling radiant and confident.
Every single time one of as women steps into our power a little bit more, we give another woman permission to do the same, whether we know it or not.
Every time we say yes to our own pleasure, we shine so much light into a world that is consumed with so much darkness.
We have been so conditioned to dim our lights, to stay small, to not take up space, to be people pleasers, and to be “acceptable women”.
But where has this gotten us? What have we been sacrificing? What has it cost us?
It’s cost us our JOY. It’s cost us our PLEASURE. It’s cost us our SELF-WORTH. It’s cost us our DESIRES. It’s cost us our INNER PEACE. It’s cost us SISTERHOOD. It’s cost us SELF-LOVE. It’s cost us ABANDONING ourselves. It’s cost us our POWER.
I don’t know about you, but I’m done paying that price.
Every single woman deserves to experience the kind of life where she feels free enough to close her eyes, dance, and relish in her own pleasure.
And every single woman deserves to be seen and witnessed shining in her own unique radiance.
Shoutout to the woman who may never know the impact she is having on the world just by shining her light. THANK YOU my beloved Sister for being the walking permission slip that we need more of in the world.
My hope is that after reading this today, you walk out into the world and claim a little bit more of your pleasure, that you turn up the volume on your own light, and that together, we can co-create a world where every woman truly shines.
Pleasurably Yours,
Jess
