Episode 17: The Pleasure Episode: Reclaiming Joy Without Guilt (Through the Chakras)
Welcome, Sacred Disruptor.
🔥 The Sacred Reclamation of Pleasure
Pleasure has been marketed to us, shamed out of us, and used against us.
We’ve been told to earn it.
To wait for it.
To only receive it if it makes others comfortable.
No more.
“Pleasure isn’t extra. It’s essential. It’s not indulgent. It’s intelligent.”
In this episode, I walk you through each of the 7 chakras as a portal back into your body—and into guilt-free, soul-anchored joy.
🌀 Why Pleasure Feels Unsafe
If pleasure feels hard to access, there’s a reason.
We’ve been conditioned to:
Conflate pleasure with danger (especially for women + femmes)
Feel shame when we’re not being productive
Push joy away as “selfish” if others are suffering
This episode unpacks why your nervous system might shut down joy—and how to lovingly rewire that connection.
🌈 The Chakra-by-Chakra Reclamation
Root – Safety
Where do I feel safe to receive pleasure?
Where don’t I?
Sacral – Desire
What do I actually want? Without shame?
Solar Plexus – Power
Can I hold joy without guilt? Or do I shrink it?
Heart – Receiving
Do I feel worthy of ease, rest, beauty?
Throat – Expression
Can I say yes to what lights me up—and no to what doesn’t?
Third Eye – Truth
What stories block my pleasure?
Crown – Permission
Can I allow joy without needing to earn it?
💠 Practice: The Pleasure Scan
Pause.
Breathe.
Drop in.
Ask yourself, one chakra at a time:
“Where is pleasure alive in me?”
“Where is it numbed?”
“What am I ready to reclaim?”
Let your body answer—not your brain.
This is sacred. Sensual. Sovereign.
💬 Soul Truth
“You don’t need to deserve joy.
You just need to stop abandoning it.”
Pleasure isn’t a break from healing—it’s part of it.
It reminds your nervous system that life is allowed to feel good.
And that’s not selfish.
That’s revolutionary.
I see the Light in you, and it is brilliant. I want you to see it too!
Brightest of blessings,
Dawn xo
