This is the 4th online Upper Mouth Lower Mouth. Past participants have said:
“My sexual energy is at an all time high”
“I can actually feel her now, which is amazing”
“AYYYYYYYYYY YAHHHHHH BABBBBBBAYYYY! I love it, I love it, I love it!”
“I love how creative, alive and connected I feel after getting into my body”
“Release of pelvic tension, a sense of freedom and a wonderful shared experience with other women!”
“I felt the entire program was held with a lot of integrity and care, thank you.”
“My yoni felt like it could open and I could connect deeper with myself”
“I enjoyed the fun and play of it all.”
“I am less abashed in inhabiting the larger and lower, the more primal sounds of my voice. AND I LOVE IT”
“I allow myself more and more to speak my truth”
“Each time we got into our bodies through the pelvis and twerking I felt SO MUCH more expansive, alive and creative. Halle-f***ing-lujah!”
“I feel I have been speaking more of my truth. I have given myself permission to sound whenever it is needed and not be embarrassed. I have a deeper sense of the intense healing that can come from my voice and the voice of others.”
The upper and lower mouths, two gateways to the core of us, are frequently veiled in shame.
The unveiling of that shame, at either end, brings great joy and pleasure. Both mouths are connected, in their shaming and limitation, and in their reclaiming.
The Lower Mouth and Female Sexuality
The pelvis frequently houses trauma from our sexuality and reproduction. The Resonant Body voice work is a method to heal pelvic trauma, by taking the voice into the pelvis, using the voice as a channel for expression and emotional release, and discovery of what the pelvis is holding, and facilitating dialogue between the body and mind.
Pelvic dance arts such as belly dancing and twerking restore the fitness of the pelvic muscles, and practice movements that stimulate pleasure within the body, and spread that pleasure around the body.
Our capacity for pleasure can grow and dim at different points in life.
There are times when we need to actively tend to and nurture the body’s capacity for pleasure, in order to keep it - enhance it, even! - for example as we age, or as we recover from experiences which have left us numbed.
In intimacy, pleasure energy is shared between partners. The more pleasure is arising in your own body, the more you will turn your partner on, and to put it bluntly, sex will be hotter. Your capacity to generate and feel pleasure is a variable in life, and pelvic dance arts really help.
In short, you as a woman can lead sexual enhancement in your relationship/s - including with yourself! - through your capacity to generate and experience pleasure within your own body; which will turn your partner on, they will turn you on, and together you will experience more turn on, sensation and pleasure. If you are single and mostly self pleasuring, the quality of your pleasure matters! This will equally improve your relationship with your own body and pleasure, which can have a knock on effect on your creativity, well-being, the awakening of your body’s potential and perhaps, if you want, lead you to your beloved, among other adventures.
Meanwhile, energetically, pleasure travels through the central column of our body between the upper and lower mouths. This channel can easily be blocked.
The body can become numb. We often store our undigested feelings in the body, and it creates areas of numbness.
The Resonant Body method takes breath, awareness, voice and sensitisation throughout the body from the pelvis to the head. This can be a release of trauma and grief.
The result is that you are an open channel through your core.
This enables you to improvise freely, express yourself authentically, and have coherence and integrity in your person. It also makes you an open channel for sexual energy and connection.
Watch out! It’s powerful!
These are the core of us, and precious.
This will be a confidential, clothed group of adult women of all ages. You can always mute and turn off your video if you feel shy. The two-hour weekly group sessions involve singing, dancing, talking, and listening, and nothing more.
It’s a 20 live hour online program priced at £15/€20/$20 per hour. The playback videos will be shared the next day each session.
