\nPleasure can be a complex subject, especially when delving into the realm of physical pleasure, which may make some uncomfortable to discuss. Questions often arise, such as, when we talk about physical pleasure, are we exclusively referring to sex? The answer is yes, but it encompasses much more than just that, although sex is indeed a component.
\nConsidering the pursuit of Vitality and pleasure in our lives, where does the priority of physical pleasure fall on your list? Complicating matters is the prevalent notion in the Christian Tradition suggesting that things that bring pleasure are often deemed bad, or at least fall outside a very narrow definition of acceptable enjoyment.
\nBut we are not of the Meadow, we are people on the Ledge so what do we do with sex, and the much larger idea of physical pleasure, in our unique Spiritual Journeys?
\nThis week, we embark on an exploration of physical pleasure, aiming to discern its place in our individual journeys. We’ll identify the aspects that act as “Springs on our Trampolines,” drawing from the Bounce message \u2013 pinpointing which elements of physical pleasure energize us and which ones we can afford to discard.
\nPrepare for a morning of heightened sensory exploration. Bring an open mind as we delve into understanding how physical pleasure might contribute to the creation of Vitality in our lives.
\nSee you at the Spiritual Gym!
