Chapter 1: Sensuality & Glutes
The last chapter was about being the lap for others, and wanting a lap; ie: the safe place to stop and rest for comfort. This one is about being the little spoon. Being the receiver of snuggles and attention, and touch, and being taken care of in the present moment. While still being aware of how much power your glutes have stored in them. You are your own individual, and you choose when to feel or use your own power stores. We can want a safe place to be protected, and simultaneously still be strong. In the energy chapter I talked about how your primal Kundalini energy is stored at the base of the spine. You can feel that stored energy when you need it, if you’ve ever bolted at the start of a race, or done any horse-kick style exercises.
What makes you feel protected? What makes you feel strong?
Sensuality
Being sensual has more to do with being present and aware of all your senses than it does with anything overtly sexy. For example you can slowly, sensually, cut a slice of banana bread while gazing out a sunny window in the morning alone, then take a sip of fresh hot tea and feel the steam warm your face. Your toes are chilly against the cool floor, but you’ve got your favorite fuzzy jammies on, and they feel soft and comforting against your skin.
One of those common self-help tricks involves hyper-focusing on your present senses to pull you out of anxiety attacks or repetitive self-talk loops. You hold still, slow your breathing, and name 5 things you see right now, 4 things you hear, 3 things you are touching, 2 things you smell, and 1 thing you taste to pull your mind back into your present body.
The next time you feel adrift in your own monotonous daily route, or like everything is suddenly spinning out of control without you, hold still, slow your breathing, and hyper-focus for a minute on your own sensuality.
Below are some different ways to work out those glutes; great for snuggling, and kicking ass. Just like you.Â
