A relaxed and soft me. A tender and passionate me. A sexual, sensual me who blossomed in her pleasure, nurturing it as her guiding force.<\/p>\n<p>I had lost my radiance. My innocence. My bliss.<\/p>\n<p>I had conquered my mind with lots of self-help and intellectual drive.<\/p>\n<p>I had bolstered my spirit with plenty of positive self-talk and long silent meditations.<\/p>\n<p>I had battled my heart through the pain of divorce and a string of short-term relationships.<\/p>\n<p>I had worked my body like a machine, to be driven and used.<\/p>\n<p>I had become a warrior in a woman\u2019s body.<\/p>\n<p><em>But what I craved was to let go.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To put down the shield and sword.<\/p>\n<p>To rise up from the earth as a sensual, passionate, creative, loving woman whose pleasure shapes her world.<\/p>\n<p>Who attracts and births anything and everything she wants.<\/p>\n<p>I built a business, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.executivesutra.com\" target=\"_blank\">Executive Sutra<\/a>, bringing mindfulness to the corporate world, using the same behaviors and mindsets I had learned at work. But it didn\u2019t turn out the way I expected. It didn\u2019t get me the love I had been missing or the abundance for which longed.<\/p>\n<p>So I decided to prioritize pleasure and nothing else. To let my desire and intuition (and vagina) lead the way.<\/p>\n<p>I desired to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Feel delicious in my body, no matter what I happened to look like or eat that day.<\/li>\n<li>Enjoy passionate sex and experience g-spot and cervical orgasms &#8212; for myself, not just my lover.<\/li>\n<li>Celebrate my femininity and lean in to myself.<\/li>\n<li>Stop pushing so hard, and start being easy and kind with myself.<\/li>\n<li>Be seen as soft, elegant, and lit up by love.<\/li>\n<li>Find my life partner and let him take care of me.<\/li>\n<li>Stop trying to control everything and start trusting the world and myself.<\/li>\n<li>Discover my sexuality and integrate it with my spirituality and career.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And I did.<\/p>\n<p>I experience the fulfillment of each of those desires on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>I know the joy of being adored, of feeling fully feminine, of following my bliss. Of creating wealth, and soon, a family.<\/p>\n<p>This is why I started the Pleasure Path.<\/p>\n<p>I am so moved, so touched, so deeply grateful you are here.
