Sexual shame is a stumbling block to personal authenticity. Learned through a social construct, sexual shame can be identified and replaced. When you eliminate sexual shame, you can sit with your true sexual self, and create a safe space for it. If and when you are ready, you can choose to share it.

Consider the phrase, eliminate sexual shame. Use it as permission to move into a different place within yourself.

Ponder these ideas. Mantras. Positive Affirmations.

E — Extend grace to yourself.

L — Live in the moment. Not the past. Not the future. The here and now, with you.

I — Imagine pleasure belongs to you.

M — Mirror all the goodness inside you. Smile.

I — Introduce sex-positive mantras into your life and recite them.

N — Nourish your happy times, so they’ll grow and thrive.

A — Accept the holistic nature of YOU.

T — Tailor your world to support your unique sexual self.

E — Expand the space inside you to hold your sexual energy.
