Bliss

What is bliss? What does it mean to you?

Bliss to me, comes in many forms. Often they are sensual, sensate, touch and feeling…

Touch

The sense of touch is my favourite. I love touching – feeling the texture, feeling the warmth, feeling skin or fur or grass. And especially, whin I’m giving a massage – feeling or sensing the energy of the person underneath the physical sensation. Is it flowing or blocked? Using my heightened awareness, helping the person receiving the massage tune in and find out where they are at and often how to get through their transition, is a good challenge. And my bliss comes when I feel a change – a release, a relaxation, a flow of energy, a rush of joy or an orgasm. My total bliss is sensing that change, the flow and the wave of bliss that ripples through a person’s body, mind and spirit.

I enjoy pleasuring women with sensual objects – I have special furry mittens that I call “Bliss Balls” that I stroke women’s bodies with. They love it, and often take one or two home so that their partner (or themselves) can give them pleasure.

Food orgasms and passionate kisses

What is your passion? What does passion mean to you?

My bliss can come from exquisite tastes in my mouth. Mostly from gourmet food – seafood is my favourite – scallops, lobster/ crayfish are the best. Also fresh fruit and vegetables. I get my seasonally fresh fruit and vegetables form the local farmers market in Adelaide, or in the city or town I am staying when I travel interstate in Australia.  I love using fresh vegetables and herbs from my own garden  – salads in summer, stir-frys in winter. Roast pumpkin and sweet potato soup is my current favourite for cold winter days, with delicious rye bread or a juicy butter-covered crumpet.

When I am in tropical Queensland, mangoes bananas papayas (paw paw) and pineapples provide me with mouth-watering blissful ecstasy.I also get loving bliss from kissing. The passionate touch of lips – expressing love between two people – and exchanging energy with another person, sometimes (often) turns me on, can get me excited and also potentially creates an orgasmic blissful state for me. The flow of passionate energy is sublime bliss.

Sensual sounds

What does bliss sound like?

Loving sounds come from harmony – either musical, humming, chanting, singing or a musical instrument or an orchestra or band. They can lead to movement, dancing, stillness or rapt attention.

But the best sound, I think, is someone moaning and groaning with pleasure when I touch and stroke their skin, all over their body. Hearing pleasure is another of my blissful experiences in life. And I am blessed to hear it often!

I’d much prefer to hear a couple making love than someone having an argument…

And when people try to be “quiet” and “keep control” it means they are still in their heads (thinking) and not in their bodies (feeling)!

So I encourage breathing out loud as a great way to relax and tune into your body.

Receiving Touch

I also get great pleasure from receiving a massage – being stroked all over. Firmly on my back and shoulders, gently on the front of my body. I love to make sounds – often to release stuff that I need to let go of, and mostly expressing my pleasure and bliss.

Hair stroking and face stroking are powerful ways to receive someone’s love for your self and surrender to being cared for. A lover, a friend or a child can give blissful stroking to you if you ask. Then you can also give back to them safely and respectfully. The healing power of touch is often underestimated.

Subtle sense of smell

I love the smell of bread baking and the smell of it when it’s been freshly baked, as its warm nurturing smell envelopes me in a homely feeling of bliss.

As a food lover, I often find that the smell of food awakens my taste buds and other senses. Walking down a city street passed different restaurants is a sensory experience, especially if the cuisines are from different countries.

And the perfume of flowers – frangipanis, sweet peas and old fashioned deep red roses stimulates my sensitive nose. Incense evokes the spiritual bliss, especially in Balinese temples, which I bring back home with my daily mediation ritual.

Joy of sight

We often take our sight for granted. Sometimes its great to shut my eyes and hear music more clearly without visual stimulation. Osho meditation is always eyes closed dancing and moving to the music.

Seeing the sky and clouds at any time of day, especially at sunset or sunrise is such a simple pleasure. A panoramic view of water, mountains or green trees from a high place is another joyful experience for me.

As a sensate, I often close my eyes to more fully enjoy the smell or taste of a delicious morsel of food.

And of course my received massage is with closed eyes so I can totally tune into the feeling of receiving touch, the pleasure of the movement of fingers, hands and body and the energy combining with the masseuse or masseur.

When I give someone a massage I also often close my eyes… to tune into the person’s energy, to feel their pleasure, which gives me more pleasure – doubles it – to give and receive and sense the changes.

Follow your bliss

Some good advice I was given was to follow my passion. What is my passion? Following my favourite things led me to my passion, my joy and bliss, my purpose in life. And I am happy to live my passion – which is to share love – to give and receive unconditional love and pleasure.

Following my bliss is helping others to love themselves and find and follow their bliss too.
