Sensuality can be defined as the ability to fully enjoy our senses: touch, smell, taste, sight, and hearing. But donโt equate sensuality with sexuality. Sensuality can sometimes be s*xual, but it doesnโt have to be. Anything that makes you feel physically good can be sensual.
Examples of subtle ways I express my own sensuality is by including pleasant sounds, delicious food, massage, having a bath, hugging, eating peanut butter, and watching a sunset into your life. Try and think of things that makes you feel good, uses all 5 of your senses!
Being sensual grounds you in your body. When youโre consciously exploring what feels good you are learning your bodyโs language โ youโre also giving your body a voice. Instead of seeing your body as an inconvenient meat-suit that you have to drag around, you start valuing it as a vessel of power and pleasure deeply capable of experiencing life. I thought SZA would be the perfect example to use as a woman who exudes so much sensuality. In the โKiss Me Moreโ Music Video we see SZA resting between a cherry blossum tree.
Sensuality reminds us what itโs like to completely live life in the present moment. To be sensual is to be fully human. To be sensual is to honor life itself. There is a reason why you have the capacity to experience pleasure, so make the most of it!
Sensuality helps us to get out of our heads and into our bodies โ and itโs much easier to be confident about what you can actively experience!
So if you struggle with any type insecurity or shyness, get into your body! My recommendation is that you learn how to enjoy all of your five senses and embrace sensuality as a regular (and intentional) part of your life! Just like our Queen SZA. ๐ธ
