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.
