Sex as a Microcosm of Life

Sex and each individual’s unique sexuality can be a microcosm of life’s experiences. Our sexual experiences contain all the aspects of life we struggle with, yearn for, strive to understand, make peace with and accept. If we are conscious and aware throughout our sexuality activities, we will find these treasures and challenges of life: our desire for belonging and being understood, our desire to be loved, to be cherished, our vulnerability, fear, courage, excitement, pleasure, pain, acceptance, unpredictability, uncertainty, loss, comfort, joy, connection to another and the feeling of being alone. All of life finds expression so purely and effortlessly within our sexual experience. We can be more alive, more awake and more aware during sexual play and activities than anywhere else in life. All we have to do is be present, open our eyes and heart and breathe.
