Three years ago I got an intuitive ping.
Sensual wellness.
Thinking about all the senses we recognize - and the ones we have yet to acknowledge - operating in sync, in balance, in alignment, in a way that actually supports the lives we live.
Until now, our senses have mostly been used for pleasure, entertainment, and distraction.
Not much has been positioned to us as a way to bring ourselves back into balance - not just physically or mentally, but sensually.
To me, sensual wellness speaks to our vibration first and foremost.
Yes, the woo-woo has entered the chat - welcome to Céleste.
But in all seriousness, our senses are so much more than smell, touch, sight, sound, and taste.
Our senses are also in our gut - our intuition.
In our consciousness - our downloads.
In our creativity - our ability to tap in.
That matters.
It’s what differentiates how we move through life - how we make decisions, how we perceive time, how short-sighted or expansive we allow ourselves to be.
Frequency
Last spring I sat in ceremony with Alexandre Tannous who led a four-hour lecture followed by a four-hour sound healing.
As a space holder myself, I couldn’t fully disconnect - I was observing with admiration, watching how frequency was being expressed, exchanged, and eventually released into the portal of the Bushwick warehouse. #iykyk
In that ceremony, I observed our very human need to move and express energy - because we are energy, we are frequency, and our frequency responds to everything around us.
The urge to move, to laugh, to cry, to gasp, to sigh - that’s not chance, that’s our system processing our environment.
So with everything constantly in flux - arguably changing faster than ever - how are we meant to stay sovereign, grounded, and on track when something external is always pulling at our frequency, asking us to engage, respond, and shift - for better or worse.
What We’re Not Noticing
What we haven’t fully clocked, especially in this hyper-capitalist phase of the Western world, is that we’re slowly moving away from just consuming goods and services - and toward the manipulation of our frequency as we know it.
More directly. More blatantly.
From media and the arts - to substances and pharmaceuticals, our frequency is already being harnessed and influenced - for the greater good or greater control. A tale as old as time.
But as we move into a more conscious existence, we start to notice.
The feeling in your body after spending time with someone.
Your mental state after a day at the office.
Your sleep cycle after consuming too much media.
So our energy, our frequency, our vibration becomes the thing that protects, aligns, and supports us - day in and day out.
2022-2023
A year of breakthrough where I turned to sensual wellness through potent botanicals and plant medicine to revive parts of me that had been drained beyond measure by people, places, and life events that we all go through from time to time.
Instead of turning to harder substances - I looked for and developed ways to shift my state by turning up my senses, releasing what needed to go, and slowly reviving my spirit.
Coming back to my sparkle.
And so in 2023, Céleste - my heavenly child, descended into the world.
She is here to support our alignment and help us tap back into our senses - to remember our default state of play, joy, and wonder.
So that no matter what happens, we are not so easily manipulated by the events we experience, the people that enter our orbit, or the places we occupy - by choice or by necessity.
Because the truth is - we are only here for a blip of time.
To experience this planet. To gather wisdom. To transmute it into something we can pass down to those that come after us.
Our mission is to make that journey a little more whimsical - so that this ride is gamified and enJOYable.
An Invitation
Elevating the senses means being in the driver’s seat of how you experience your life.
And that’s an ongoing project. One we never fully complete while we’re here.
So join me -
In exploring, supporting, and amplifying our senses.
In feeling more attuned in all the right ways.
And in moving through life with a bit more ease, grace, and wonder.
Bon Voyage! ✨
