Our first experience is a sensual experience, but as we live we become closed off to sensuality, to our bodies and to the joys of being embodied. Instead, guided by philosophy, psychology and embodied spirituality, we can open ourselves to transcendent sensuality which will elevate our relationships, sexual and otherwise, to entirely new and ever-expanding levels. There is no finitude. There are no limits. The underlying energy of all universes can and should fuel our creativity so that each of us may be a beacon of love, sensuality, caring, compassion, and truth. In this episode we discuss Repression and how things that we Repressed return in irrational, "neurotic" ways; the Compulsion to Repeat; Transference, which in this context means superimposing previous episodes in our lives (relationships, conflicts going back to infancy) onto our present life, thus holding us back both from dealing with current relationship issues and from our ultimate goal -- finds new heights of pleasure); the Sensuous Gaze; and how Humor and Lightness are a way to make love and sex more sensual and more fun.
