You are the experiencer 🕳️ You are not your thoughts, emotions, feelings, sensations or experiences. To some degree, these things ARE a part of us...plus so much more. As the experiencer, you are pure awareness, and this is unchanging. You are always aware. Simply coming back to this often can be life changing in and of itself. There is a sense of wholeness and perfection when we come back to this foundation. Here’s how to practice this daily: literally at any moment in your day, notice that you are aware of what is happening at that very moment.  You are AWARE of being aware—meta. x #honorthy (at Awareness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMSqyTVHiHr/?igshid=uqaj5b14f0gf

To be self devoted is to love all parts of you. I never felt truly connected to my body growing up and into my 20s. Constantly in my head from religious upbringing, societal ideals, and chronic people pleasing only resulted in burnout with a whole lot of unworthiness and shame for my body and sexuality. I didn't know there was any other way. Deep down underneath the layers I created for myself, I knew there was more to this life, but my unconscious and subconscious behavior held me back. From a space of self devotion I have found boundless pleasure, love, and confidence in my body and sexual expression. I believe every body can experience this with the right tools in a safe and accepting environment. As your guide, I hold a collaborative container rooted in your desires with an invitation to receive your own bodily wisdom. Step into sacred self devotion by declaring your desires in a safe and co-created container, in the comfort of your own space.  Now offering FREE coaching sessions if you book between now and the year of the year (you can choose a date in the new year). This is my gift to you. - 🔗 in bio - x Olivia Image: @byoliviaoh Beautiful body: @glitterdimps . . . #sensualitycoach #intimacycoach #sacredintimacy #selfdevotion #selflovejourney #selflovespo #lovecoach #radicalselflove #selfpleasure #pleasurecoach #pleasureactivism #honorthy #privatecoaching #embodimentcoach #embodimentpractice https://www.instagram.com/p/CIJyMQlHKCa/?igshid=pqn4k551nwp0

Can I get an amen? 🙏 I had the pleasure of attending a s_x magic workshop with the amazing Barbara Carrellas @urbantantrika the other day and wow—pure bliss. I'm familiar with the s_x magic process in various ways, but it’s always fun to experience wisdom from different teachers. It’s also really rad to be in the presence of a group of people from all over the world as we journeyed together. When she asked us what our definition of magic was, I had to think….huh. I guess I never really thought to put it into words. It’s one of those things that's nearly impossible to explain. The best I could come up with was: quantum alchemy. Yea...I like how that sounds. I love doing s_x [quantum alchemy] for ALL sorts of things. In this session I sent love, healing and ease to my grandmother who is feeling alone and isolated in her world at the moment. No, I wasn’t thinking about my grandma while I was having s_x...😆 The key to s_x magic is first setting the intention: what are you cultivating energy for? Imagine what the reality of your intention looks like. May it be for the highest good of all...and letting it go. Then build up s_xual energy as you wish, in this case I did that with awareness, breath, sound, and energy movement up the chakras. As you reach an org_smic peak, send the energy off into the universe, bringing back your intention once more, and letting it rain on your body—delicious erotic energy dripping down your spine. Yum… x . . . #magic #energywork #energybuilding #chakraactivation #barbaracarrellas #urbantantra #neotantra #honorthy #energymagic #quantumalchemy #spiritualalchemy #holisticsexuality #sacredsex https://www.instagram.com/p/CH0rdxkn4jn/?igshid=10b65vb804xl8

Activating the energy body through the senses. 💥 Did you know your chakras are connected to the senses? Our senses supply us with information about our body and the environment around us, but it also connects us to the energy body as well. If you’re familiar with energy work, we know more often than not, one or more energy centers are out of whack, causing imbalances in our system. One way to calm or stimulate your energy centers is by focusing on its sense. Here's some ideas: Root—smell: the sense of smell is known as the strongest evoker of memory, often bringing long forgotten experiences back to us (in this lifetime or otherwise). Use essential oils or focus on a specific smell, taking in with full presence. Sacral—taste: savor every bite of your food and choose foods that will counteract your energetic imbalance. Solar plexus—sight: study sacred geometry and complex visuals to activate this sense or study objects in nature for an organic and soothing experience. Heart—touch: the palm of the hand has an acupuncture and minor chakra point connected to the heart (pericardium outer layer). Offer yourself (or another) a massage or gentle touch like Reiki. Focus on the sensations as you come in contact with skin or other textures. Throat—hearing: activate by chanting, singing and listening to music. Meditate on the beauty of stillness and silence for a calming experience. Third eye—use divination tools like tarot and astrology. Start an intuition journal to begin trusting what is being communicated to you psychically. Crown—universal connection: connect with nature, sitting in awe of the beauty that is. Meditate in silence as this is the “sound” associated with the crown chakra. For an expansive erotic experience during s_x or otherwise, activate all senses, one by one; dropping into your body fully. Which of these are you intuitively drawn to the most? Check in with your body & energy to find the answer. x  Image: Ralph Gibson . . . #thesenses #energytherapy #energyhealing #embodiment #connectwithin #energybody #chakras #energycenters #selfhealers #embodiedwisdom #honorthyself #honorthy #bodywisdom https://www.instagram.com/p/CHvYxUsHsHw/?igshid=1u8b97chhcehl

Hello, my name is Olivia and I'm an advocate for radical self love.⚡ I had the pleasure of speaking with @christine_lavopa 's Plan Learn Thrive group this afternoon & I felt the need to express the difference between self care and self love. The difference between self care and self love is that self care usually involves an action, while self love should be the source of the action. Self care often involves an external source, while self love comes from within. Self care is most effective when coming from a place of self love.⚡ Radical self love means meeting every experience, thought, sensation, emotion and reality with love AND not trying to change it (that's the key). Believe me, this is much easier said than done AND it is possible with ongoing curiosity and practice. Think of your usual self care activities - are you truly doing them for you? Or is it for validation and acceptance from someone else? Some food for thought... x . . . #radicalselflove #selfhealers #selflovejourney #selfloveisthebestlove #planlearnthrive #lovethyself #honorthyself #honorthy #selfcarepractice #selfcarequotes #selfcaretips #selfcareroutine #selfintimacy https://www.instagram.com/p/CHqgP4Bn8S4/?igshid=mwuwj7ci9fob

Your body is a symphony waiting to be heard. Your body is a landscape waiting to be discovered. Your body is a work of art; the very essence of creation. Your body is the scent of a thousand freshy gathered roses. Your body is the taste of an endless flowing ocean. x My day 3 self portrait inspired by water for HonorThy 11-day collective self portrait journey 📷 @byoliviaoh P.S. I am celebrating HARD - because for the very first time, the U.S. has elected a bad ass woman of color into leadership. Kamala, you are showing so many of us it is possible; a confirmation of change and growth. And, there is still so much to be done. Yes, take a breath, nourish your body, CELEBRATE!

Honoring the cycle.🌀 We are collectively edging into a new cycle and I can’t help but think about all of life’s cycles. The rebirth-death cycle has always been fascinating to me, because it truly is everywhere. In our bodies, in nature, and in Spirit. The blue moon, transition into darkness, honoring of death itself, a monumental election—even my cycle was aligned as I bled with the full moon. In my certification course we are moving into choosing majors to focus our attention to. Naturally, ‘life transitions’ called to me, but I was still hesitant. It felt like ancient medicine; once celebrated and forced to undergo its own period of death through persecution. And now like cyclical nature, it has been rebirthed. Deep down I know I am here to remind—reincarnated to remember and spread the old ways; honoring all cycles. Right now there is a collective void as we stand silently in between. Honor these moments as sacred seeds of creation. Rest if you need to. Breath if you need to. Self pleasure if you need to. Create if you need to. What are you manifesting? x Olivia 📷 @byoliviaoh Body by @oldesoulleather . . . #lifescycle #lifedeath #cycles #oldways #ancestralwisdom #ancestralhealing #voidpoint #transitionstate #transitions #honorthy #naturalcycles #menstrualcycle #mooncycles #empowermentcoach #empoweredliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CHLVEdnHAlx/?igshid=1hjufc0hgpblt

“Imagine—as you probably do now and again—that you are God, laboring under the self-appointed task of creating an Eve who will be accounted beautiful at all times and places. History shows you will be disappointed in your effort. Rather than a stable set of features, physical beauty is an ever-morphing construct, a fickle collective dream that we fall into once in a while.” —Daniel Kunitz (artsy.net) Join me in breaking the construct through a series of empowering self portraits and journal writing on Nov 2-12.

Attraction: according to the shadow... I was recently talking to one of my best girlfriends about attraction and why we find certain qualities and personalities so sexy. We've all heard the, "we're attracted to people who remind us of our caregivers," and yes, this can be true. But what's often overlooked is our shadow. The qualities that weren't demonstrated or allowed in our childhood often become our shadows—pieces we repress over time that actually may be something we desire deep down. When we repress our shadows, we often seek it out in others or fall into destructive patterns—searching for the missing pieces until we feel whole again. We unconsciously attract lovers, and even friendships, that represent our missing pieces. And here's the cosmic joke: we are all whole and perfect underneath the layers we create for ourselves. Everything you seek lives within you. Shadow integration is crucial to help us feel whole again. When we feel whole, we attract people who are aligned with our true selves. Instead of searching for the missing pieces to the puzzle externally, we help each other discover them within.
