Sensual Voices Andrea Hylen

Women Exploring Connection and Desire Twelve women from Sweden; eight women from the United States gathered in a secret Facebook group and on community phone calls stoking the fire to stir up the burning embers of desire, connection and sensuality hidden within our souls. We explored universal experiences of a woman's body: Menstruation. Childbirth. Menopause. Sexual Desire. We discussed body sensations of sensuality, power, grief, abandonment, trauma life and death with courage and vulnerability. Our experiences included deep listening, a willingness to write our personal stories and at the end of the process, clarity around the next step in leadership. From the Foreword by Brig Feltus: "I have everything I want. There is no more powerful statement an individual can make. And vulnerability, it turns out, is key. To get to those inner desires I had to peel back all those layers of programming and reveal my true self. I had to then acknowledge my desires, and then choose to be the woman I needed to be in order to make that one statement, "I have everything I want" true. So here I am. My desire right now is to introduce you to this incredible opportunity to receive inspiration, motivation, and movement through the incredible stories of these extraordinary women. If you are reading this foreword, your time has come. A portal is opening; you are being beckoned to cross the threshold. Will you answer the call? Will you open yourself to be vulnerable enough to receive the incredible wealth of life experience found herein? I trust you will. " We invite you to open yourself to a new perspective as you read the stories and ask yourself some questions. *What if we could spread Universal Love by donating energy, money and time to empower women and girls? *What if women supported each other with parenting tips instead of judging and comparing and competing to be the best parent with the best child? *What if we opened to the anomalies in life by accepting our unique differences and stopped trying to be carbon copies of each other? *What if we accepted that relationships could be monogamous, open, dynamic, hetero, homo, bi and we supported each other to love who we love? *What if we shared our vulnerability, wisdom, and claimed our personal power and inner authority? *What if we put our ideas together and changed the things that aren't working on the planet, finding new solutions and building the future together? *What if we allowed ourselves to feel everything and to notice it without making anyone else right or wrong? As you read the stories in this book, we invite you to listen for your own questions and answers. Close your eyes. Connect with your heart. And randomly open to a story. Go now. Enter the pages and be open to the mystery of what will unfold. Your Voice Matters.
