Human sexuality is beautifully varied. For those of us who interact sexually, discovering and rediscovering ourselves, each other, and layers of pleasure through sex, the range of experiences available to us can include a spectacular and sometimes dizzying number of options, inquiries, and considerations. Yet, many of us may not have had significant education on or opportunities to practice learning about and exploring our sexualities in open, direct, collaborative, self-actualizing, and responsive ways, on our own or together. While there are a growing number of resources, including education-based feminist sex toy stores, in-person and online classes and literature, and health and wellness professionals who specialize in sex and sexuality, there is also still a mountain of stigma, inequity, oppression, and violence we may have to surmount as we choose and strive to explore, care for, and curate our sex lives. And it's maybe really important to acknowledge what we may be up against, so that we can offer ourselves some understanding and self-compassion as a first and potentially frequent step on any journey we undertake to get more clear about ourselves as sexual beings. What is one way that you practice self-compassion regarding your sexuality?

#QuarantineCompersion

Picture
In response to the much-needed call for #COVIDCompassion, #MindfulHearts offers the sister chant of #QuarantineCompersion.
​The art and skill of understanding the suffering of others and feeling and acting on the impulse to lessen that suffering goes hand in hand with the art and skill of feeling and acting on the impulse to nourish joy everywhere. May we all have moments of joy that grow and extend through the times we live in and beyond.
