Sexual Confidence
Due to guilt and shame in society about our bodies and sexuality, alot of people repress their sexual self and are scared to be overtly sexual
Sexual confidence is the ability to be fully embodied, enhabited your fullness, sexual sovereignty and awareness.
Try walking towards the mirror with your eyes fixed on a point. Sashay your hips, shoulders back and take low deep breaths. Being aware of how you move and breathe is a great way to develop your sexual confidence, so you can discover your power and sexuality.
