What does it mean to turn on your life?
Turn on is a state of being on the inside. It’s not tied to external circumstances. And, it doesn’t mean always wanting sex or thinking about it. Turn on IS to feel a sense of your own aliveness and life force. It is knowing your spirit and body are one. It is the ability to reach for pleasure. When you are connected to the goddess within you, you are in your fullness. You radiate. You become the brightest in the room. This is how you turn on.
“Turn on is the space where you know the perfection of your being- that it’s a privilege to be a woman, to be you, to be alive, to be given the gift of feeling pleasure with your body”
– Mama Gena
We all know women who are turned on. You can tell when you look at her, you feel her. You can sense her innate aliveness. There is a sense of engagement, when a woman is turned on. And a sense of emptiness, when she is not. We are the creators of our life. We do that by making choices. The choices we make each day create our life. Turn on is a choice. You can turn on your life, or you can choose to turn off. And the good news is, you get to choose.
So when I say turned on, what exactly am I talking about? Does it mean you’re ready to have sex every second of every day? Does it mean you have to wear low-cut tops and short skirts all the time? This is what the presiding culture would have us believe. But if you know this turn-on from the inside out, then you know it’s not tied to any external behaviors or circumstances. It’s a state of being on the inside. Feeling turned on might inspire you to dress more sexy, because when you choose to feel hot, you are in more approval of your body. It might inspire you to flirt with people, because sharing your radiance feels so good that you want to pass it along. But to avoid any confusion at all, here is a short explanation of what turn-on does, and doesn’t, mean.
What turn-on means:
- You feel a sense of your own aliveness and your life force
- You know that your spirit and your body are one
- Your native enthusiasm is intact
- Your ability to reach for pleasure is on – especially when it seems difficult
- You’re in your right mind and your highest power
- You’re you – full, complete, and whole.
Turn-on is about how we have to flip a switch, turn our light on, turn ourselves on, turn our power on, no matter our individual circumstances or the condition of the world in which we find ourselves.
What turn-on doesn’t mean:
- You feel like having sex all the time
- You’re obsessively thinking about sex, a carnal mindset
- You have to dress in anyone else’s definition of “sexy”
Now that we are clear on what turn on is and is not, let’s learn how to get turned on! In order to turn on, we need to incorporate rapture into our lives. Rapture is a feeling of intense pleasure or joy. It’s freedom. There is no right and no wrong. There is no shame. If you want to turn on, you need to set the stage. Turn your room into a sanctuary. Make your bathroom a place for a Goddess. Just as an altar in a sanctuary requires upkeep and maintenance to feel sacred, so does the body of a woman. It is our sacred responsibility to look and feel as turned on as possible so we can connect to the sacred within ourselves. To shine our radiance on the world. Why? If we disregard the sacred within us, we cannot connect to our turn-on. And when we are not turned on, we are not connected to our life force. And if we are not connected to our life force, it means we are not owning our own power. If we are not owning our power, it means someone else is. When you let the light within you shine, you become a magnet for all that is good in life. You become a super attractor for everything you want. This is how you create a life you love.
So you can see that turn-on is a pathway to power. Unimaginable power. Power that is so sacred, so profound, that in certain parts of the world, connecting deeply and intimately with a woman’s body was compared to enlightenment. This is why I am so excited about the “Radiant Woman” Retreat I am currently creating.
Now, more than ever, it is time for women to take back their power, to own their radiance, to stand in the truth of who and what we are, and live as the women we were born to be. It is time for us to go against the grain and choose ourselves, and our erotic aliveness. For those of you who want to live this truth, join me. I am so excited to share the magic of this with you!
