Are you Body Confident Naked?
“Many women have told me how important their body shape is in making
them feel good about themselves, attractive and sexy. But it’s not your
shape alone that makes you feel this way; it’s how much positive acceptance
and appreciation you have of your body that makes the difference — how
connected you feel with your physical self. “
Body Confidence: The key to the luscious naked and sacred woman being a goddess.
Are you a woman who feels confident with her own sexual goddess has
developed an acceptance and appreciation of her body – this is body confidence!
Whether dressed or naked, she appreciates her shapes, colours, contours, and
softness, for she knows a goddess can be shaped in infinite varieties, all with
the potential to radiate beauty, sensuality and sexuality. When a woman’s
thoughts and her body are connected, her mind is supporting her body’s
feeling of pleasure, and vice-versa. This positive body connection adds to
her enjoyment of being alive and to her sensual and sexual pleasure.
Body Confidence and Aphrodite
Aphrodite was joyfully proud of her own body, appreciating it as an
expression of the divine nature of the universe. Hopefully, you are more
and more inspired to nurture and celebrate the goddess within you. Yet in
practice, what is really going to happen the next time your lover wants to
take you to bed? You go to the bathroom; you’re naked and then you look
in the mirror and notice your breasts or your thighs; you catch yourself
thinking variations of ‘my thighs are too big’, or ‘my breasts are too small
or too saggy’ or ‘I’ve got cellulite’.
Many women have told me how important their body shape is in making
them feel good about themselves, attractive and sexy. But it’s not your
shape alone that makes you feel this way; it’s how much positive acceptance
and appreciation you have of your body that makes the difference — how
connected you feel with your physical self. Learning Tantra can help you build confidence in your body.
When asked if they like the look of their body, a lot of women
answer ‘No!’ For many others, the answer is a hesitant ‘Yes’, nearly always
accompanied by ‘except for my breasts, legs, hips, nose, tummy…’ Even
women acclaimed by others in the fashion or beauty industries as beautiful
seem to have things they don’t like about their bodies.
Most women immediately think about their ‘imperfections’, those parts
of themselves they would most like to change, more readily than the parts
they enjoy. Most women are especially concerned about their weight. In the
West, women have a view that to be slimmer is to be more beautiful, but
interestingly enough, in surveys I’ve conducted in my workshops, men don’t
necessarily agree. Men say that what’s more of a turn-off is a woman who is
always complaining about her body and who is pre-occupied with her shape.
