Erotic Innocence – by Marlee Liss

When I first started walking the path of sensual reclamation, I was worried I was going to LOSE MY INNOCENCE 🥀 ⠀

I felt so connected to my yogi, meditator, social work student, Do-gooder identity….⠀

and I was worried that dedicating my life to sacred sexuality would put me on the sinners list😳😳😳⠀

Whether we’re consciously aware of it or not, so many of us carry this idea that sexuality polarizes innocence. ⠀

🛑 We fear that too much erotic expression will have society deeming us ‘too much’. Our conditioning tells us that we have to choose EITHER our sensual desire or are PURE HEART.⠀

And the result for many is sexual suppression, which IN ALL HONESTY leads to EITHER: Violence or Shame.⠀

⚡️So we think we’re protecting the world by shutting our sensual fullness down, but at the end of the day we’re just perpetuating these distorted sexuality cycles…… ⠀

WHICH IS the fuel behind objectification, rape culture, porn addiction, performative living, appearance anxiety, and a generally sexually traumatized culture⚡️⠀

🌹🌹🌹THIS IS WHY our reclamation plays such a huge role in shifting these systems!!!!!⠀

When we bring our senses fully online, when we honour our wants & free them from the shadows…. ⠀

WE FREE OUR CULTURE from being run by this ancient suppression😍⠀

💥We break chains of patriarchal shame and secrecy⠀

💥We activate the beings around us in claiming their own sensual empowerment⠀

💥We wake people out of states of dissociation & CALL them IN to fully embodied presence⠀

💥We remember sexual energy as the very life force that WE, OURSELVES (ALL HUMANS), are created from.⠀

💥We anchor this knowing on the planet, that our sexuality IS and HAS ALWAYS been completely divine and deeply innocent.⠀

The ripples of this healing are HUGE🌊⠀

By walking this path of healing myself, I was able to change the justice system🌎⠀

Letting love guide me down a path of fierce heart-led Leadership🙏⠀

🌹Imagine what the world would look like if every woman claimed this sensual empowerment for herself?🌹⠀

Ps. I’m so excited to share these wins with you because more than ever, I’m reminder of what’s possible when we break silence & reclaim this embodied empowerment!!!

This week I’ve been confirmed to share my story of restorative justice for sexual violence at Fordham School of Law (where Donald Trump graduated from), University of Toronto, & on an elite panel for the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence! YES to heart-led voices informing federal policy. All this while I birth a membership for ALL women living this reclamation : The Sensual Queendom. Birthed from a vision & dream! Thank you for reading and for walking this path. We are with you & we love you 💚
