ORGANIC AMY

How many of us believe that orgasm is only related to sex?  How many of us are a bit shy to talk about it?  How many of you women out there have found yourself in sexual experiences targeted towards male climax, and are often left feeling more than a little unsatisfied?

And from a different standpoint- How many of you out there feel disconnected from others?  Maybe depressed, stressed, burned out?  Lacking a sense of direction in life- intuition is something you’ve heard of having but can’t imagine what it really feels like.

What if all of this is related?  What would it be like if you had a greater sense of humanity and connection to others, and it happened to be that orgasm was how you achieved it?  What if orgasm, which can lead you to be more hormonally and emotionally balanced, can be experienced outside of the normal bedroom situation- discussed and demonstrated in a safe and open learning environment (where the man/partner stays fully clothed the entire time!!)?

There’s a movement going on that gives light towards a pathway of this nature.  A path which connects the spirit and consciousness of meditation to the female orgasm.  There’s a place where female orgasm is not swept under the rug but is used as a channel for growth.   The movement is called OneTaste, founded by Nicole Daedone and the practice is called OM, Orgasmic Meditation.  For those of you who’ve never heard of OM, here is a description from the website onetaste.us –

Orgasmic Meditation (OM) is a consciousness practice that is designed for singles and couples to experience more connection, vitality, pleasure, and meaning in every aspect of their lives. A partner strokes a woman’s clitoris for 15 minutes with no goal other than to feel, connect, and be present. With practice, you develop a larger state of consciousness, have better intimacy, and stronger connections.

Nicole Daedone, author of Slow Sex, is a dynamo of a woman, an amazing public speaker, and trying to reach the public with the idea that orgasm, when experienced with consciousness and awareness, can bring humanity back to a place of human connection.  In a video from the SXSW conference in 2013 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q0TZy04lko), Nicole went as far to say that orgasm can do for physical human connection what the internet has done for virtual human connection.  She hopes that one day you will see: “Meditation, Yoga and Orgasm” with the same emphasis (meaning orgasm is not whispered).  Check out the onetaste website and you can see a full virtual guide for the OM practice.

I must admit that although I fully believe in the power of orgasm, and have experienced the benefits it reaps in all aspects of my life, I have yet to take the plunge and attend an OM class.  I have experienced OMing in a relaxed, not ‘properly trained’ kind of way with my partner, and definitely find it an intriguing practice.  I was invited by an OM ambassador to stop by for a session whenever I felt like it… which I guess was a normal practice for many of his friends.  I met my love a few days after this invitation so I never made it over. I think for a certain type of person a deeper involvement with the OM community might be exactly what is needed to take a huge leap forward in personal growth.  A larger acceptance of female orgasm in daily life will also lead to a much more satiated population of woman.

The thing is- it’s all neurochemical.  My questions earlier lead to an overlying kind of answer- people are stressed and feeling disconnected.  It’s possible that this is due to high cortisol levels, our fight or flight hormone and a lack of happy, feel good hormones, one of which is oxytocin.  Oxytocin, a peptide hormone, can actually decrease the release of cortisol and lower anxiety in response to social stress, as well as increase trust levels in already established relationships
