There are a lot of misconceptions around what pleasure actually is. Our society leads us to believe that pleasure can only be sexual in nature and that it is very transactional in terms of giving and receiving pleasure. But pleasure is so much more free and mysterious and life-giving than that. 

If you’ve ever felt frustrated in your pursuit of pleasure, this is the conversation for you.

Today I’m chatting with Ori Zimmels from Life Awake. Ori offers spiritual guidance and mentoring to help his clients get out of their heads and into their bodies to experience connection and authenticity. We discuss what pleasure is, why the societal definition is so limiting, why we have to surrender in order to experience true pleasure, and why we should let go of our preconceived notions of what pleasure is and how to achieve it.

Let your mind and body be open to pleasure. Experience the mystery of pleasure. Let it blossom in your life and be surprised by it. Reframing your mindset around pleasure will change your life.

What’s in this episode:

• Pleasure is something we share from ourselves, not something we give or receive to others, and it’s more than just sexual pleasure

• The objectification and narrowing of pleasure is a big problem in our society

• Real, embodied pleasure is nourishing and life-giving and also a mystery

• When we have a preconceived notion of pleasure, we miss out on the journey of joy and life itself

• Surrender plays a big role in pleasure and it’s important to learn to let go

• True pleasure mimics the order of nature
