Sensual faith : the art of coming home to your body / Lyvonne Briggs.

Briggs, Lyvonne, (author.).

Summary:

"An invitation for women to discover a healthier approach to spirituality and sexuality that centers pleasure rather than shame, from body-and sex-positive preacher and author Lyvonne Briggs. "Home is not an address. Home is where you feel safe. And your body is aching to be your home."-Lyvonne Briggs. How you view your body and your sexuality is informed and strengthened by spiritual practices, but how many of us can say that religion has drawn us closer to our bodies? That's because worship spaces that are intended to be spiritual safe houses have not historically been welcoming to our bodies, forcing us to leave our flesh at the door. This ideological amputation is at best a disservice and at worst a sin. The remedy? Radical self-hospitality. In Sensual Faith, Lyvonne Briggs charts a path for us to practice spiritual wellness that aligns and harmonizes our bodies with pleasure and sexuality. By centering the rich traditions of ancient West African spirituality, Sensual Faith offers a radically inclusive model of companioning one's self. Filled with wellness rituals, journal prompts, affirmations, and practices, Sensual Faith shows us how to celebrate our bodies as our very homes. "Pleasure is your birthright," writes Briggs, so whether it's accepting your flesh, nurturing your intuition, learning the language of consent, or sumptuous self-care, let radical self-hospitality guide you to healthy sexuality"-- Provided by publisher.
