A good book on sacred sexuality is like a friend or a teacher, and at different times in my journey some of these books have been my lovers. I hope, like me, you enjoy: feeling them, flirting with their ideas, sleeping with them under your pillow or seeing them on your nightstand and ultimately awakening to the truth that lies beyond the words.
Even though Sacred Sexuality is a direct experience that cannot be fully experienced by reading alone, these are books that will point you in the direction of how to anchor it into your physical and subtle embodiment.
What is Sacred Sexuality?
Sacred sexuality is learning how to embody and become the energy and expression of love in the world. The purpose of sacred sexuality is not trying to get love, but to see it an practice it as a transformative path where all of us are allowing love to be the essence and purpose in one. With sacred sexuality, we are able to learn how love can work in us and through us as we are becoming the embodied version of Love.
