The sessions focusing on the line of sexuality remind us to notice and enjoy the many pleasures of life. They invite us to enjoy dance and movement sequences that help us to expand our sensory awareness, dissolve muscular tension and rediscover the body as a source of pleasure.
The line of sexuality is about awakening desire, increasing pleasure, connecting to our sexual identity and decreasing sexual repression. This aspect of our lives arises from sexual instincts and is affected by the quality of loving touch received from birth. The pleasurable sensations that arise from bodily contact with the mother, for example during breastfeeding, allow the child to perceive herself as an entire organism able to feel and perceive her body and the world as a source of pleasure. Also significant factors in the development of our sensual experience are pleasurable sensory stimuli such as tasting delicious food, having a warm bubble bath, walking barefoot in nature, rolling on the ground, having a relaxing massage, stretching the body, et cetera.
Why is sensory pleasure important? Research has shown that pleasurable sensations strengthen the immune system, are good for the heart, help to prevent depression and anxiety, and contribute to physical and mental health. The more healthy pleasures we experience, the longer our life span and the happier our lives will be.
