Awaken Your Goddess Energy: Sacred Sexuality + Eroticism | VYLANA MARCUS

“We can learn a lot about eroticism through our sexual nature, but it is not the only way that we can experience Eros in life.

If you think of your most exciting sexual experiences where you were just in your most vital, primal nature, where the rapture is so expansive and insatiable until you reach this moment of climax where you’re meeting God, and everything feels like light is exploding all over the place, and your brain entirely turns off.

If you think of those moments and you apply the same kind of idea to a regular moment that has nothing to do with sex at all, what kind of vibration are you inviting into a space if you're doing that?” – Vylana Marcus

Power Quotes From The Show

[click_to_tweet tweet=”It’s difficult to fully love the entirety of yourself if you don’t know how to be with your own emotions. – Vylana Marcus” quote=”It’s difficult to fully love the entirety of yourself if you don’t know how to be with your own emotions. – Vylana Marcus”]

The Transmutation

“When the energy has the permission to fully move in this full cycle where you’re holding nothing back, what typically happens is that it unveils the sadness, and the grief, and the fear that anger is protecting. The energy of your tears is the transmutation.” – Vylana Marcus

Light And Dark Sides

“I can stand here and look at you, and I have done the work to know so deeply who I am in all of my light and my dark, and I know who I am enough to set a boundary and say, ‘No, I don’t accept to participate in the world in this way against the patriarchy.' ” – Vylana Marcus

Being Of The Highest Service

“How can I be of the highest service at this time, in this present moment? It’s not a practice that’s reaching, and grabbing, and trying to push forward, and make it happen. If you're really in that kind of energy, it takes away your ability to listen to the more subtle whispers. When you’re pushing and being so active like that, the tendency is for it to come through your mind.

There's so much more that we have available if we can slow down, listen for a moment, and actually ask for guidance through our heart.” – Vylana Marcus
