In 1996, after 25 years as a professional ballroom dancer, I decided to hang up my dance shoes, close my dance schools, and reluctantly, end a 12 year long marriage to my then wife and dance partner.
To have unified my mind and body through the art of dance was truly a gift to me in this lifetime. An even greater realization during my years as a Professional Ballroom and Latin Dancer, was to learn how partnership dancing, even at it’s highest technical level, reveals almost instantly, how a man and a woman relate and interact with each other privately. I can watch any couple today either on TV or the dance floor and tell you whether they love and respect one another or whether they despise or devalue one another.
So much of my life had revolved around a quest to master the art of moving, as a beautiful body, consciously and effortlessly through time and space. But as I look back today, the greatest lessons I learned through the art of ballroom dance were all about my relationship to the women in my life as a man.
My sexuality has always been and continues to be the single most driving force in my life. It is for me all that I find right and desirable in my relationship with the physical world. It is my continuous source of happiness, balance, and well-being. The physical, mental, and emotional pleasure that sexual energy provides me with is a pleasure that I have never yet found an equal for. My choice to have entered the dance world as a career was in large part due to the nearly unlimited resource of feminine energy that I became surrounded with. It was, in part, the exploitation of that resource that led me, in 1994, to a physical and emotional crisis that manifested in a total shutdown of my body. For the first time in my life, I experienced erectile dysfunction, and became so mentally distraught that I believed myself to be totally impotent. There was no Viagra at the time to “pump me up”, or more accurately, to obscure the truth of what my body was trying to tell me. After no help from the medical community that expressed my condition as “normal”, I found a book entitled “The Tao Health, Sex, & Longevity ” and my forever changed. I learned through fasting how to regenerate my body. I learned through ancient Taoist practices, how to become the master of my sexuality rather than its slave. Most importantly, I learned that at anytime we choose, we can be the creators of the universe that we live in.
In 2001, I entered into a state of unconditional love and full acceptance of my Self. In simple words, it was a realization that I would always have myself to give and receive all the love and acceptance that I would ever need to be happy in life. And that I would furthermore have the very best partner to be with when the time came for me to depart from my body. Only until I was able to provide myself with unlimited love, was I able to now love others with no need for love in return. Only then was I able to feel true compassion and love without any conditions for others. It was a perfect that I was introduced to the art of sensual and loving touch.
Four years later, I manifested the greatest “love of my life” with whom I could, as now in relationship with another, partake in conscious evolution with. I have come to realize that it takes a community to support a relationship. That without community, we are, most times, left with unfulfilled needs and wants within our relationships that could never be possible fulfilled by just one person. It is within healthy, sane, and loving communities that relationships best prosper. It is through community that we are best able to dream, share and support, one another in manifesting our greatest gifts and fullest potentials that we offer the world.
Through joyous celebration, as a community, we bring one another into greater wisdom and happiness. It is my belief that the fastest path to achieving the enlightenment and bliss intended to be experienced in this lifetime on this planet is accomplished through a community that is free of sexual repression.It is through finding or creating our sacred family and dancing in a natural community of sexual freedom that we are able to find and maintain support for the personal relationship we desire to establish with another.
Through a disciplined and conscious use of our sexual energy, the individuals within that community are able to most effectively and efficiently support one another into higher states of aliveness and intelligence Though total love and freedom is most certainly within our own power to experience alone, so much sweeter is it’s taste when experienced within community with others. In the year 1999, Sexy Spirits was conceived and created to serve as a beacon for that community.
Strong sex-positive, spiritually oriented, communities were prevalent in the ancient world as seen in the Wiccan systems in Europe and Tantric and Taoist systems in the East. Though we may not be able to return to these ancient lifestyles in today’s modern world, we can become conscious of their practices and learn how to integrate them into our lives today.
Sexy Spirits is first and foremost on a mission to create, discover, and individually expand, as a community. If a chord resonates within you as you read these words, then you may have recognized deep within you a calling to your sacred family. If such is the case, it is time now to unite, celebrate, and luxuriate in your magnificence with other sexy spirits!
