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 today’s Episode #4 we discuss Subtlety and nuance; the importance of avoiding clichés, an introduction to the psychology of Object Relations; narcissism; and Jacques Lacan’s concept of Jouissance – enjoyment beyond the Pleasure Principle.
