Savoring: A Foundational Pleasure Practice Speaking of Sex with The Pleasure Mechanics
-
- Sexuality
Savoring is the art of slowing down a moment enough to be fully in it, while it is happening, with presence and gratitude. Fully savoring pleasures of all kinds – from small sensual pleasures to the deepest joys of intimacy and connection – is a skill set that we humans can develop, on purpose, over time.
The Science of Well-Being course from Yale highlights savoring as an essential practice for overall well-being and happiness:
“Savoring is the act of stepping outside of an experience to review and appreciate it. Often we fail to stay in the moment and really enjoy what we’re experiencing. Savoring intensifies and lengthens the positive emotions that come with doing something you love.” ~ The Science of Well-Being
The practice of Savoring can bring a full body positive experience, create lasting benefits for our entire being, and create meaningful bridges between people through shared experiences of pleasure. Savoring, when practiced consistently over time, develops our ability to feel more pleasure and joy – these positive body states become easier to access and we are able to drop deeper into our experiences. In a very practical way, Savoring is the practice of expanding our capacity for feeling.
In this podcast episode, we share the why and how of Savoring – why it is such a powerful practice and how to put it into action in your life. For more pleasure practices and support in deepening your pleasure capacity, join us in the Mindful Sex online course.

View this post on Instagram Small moments of #joy, #pleasure and #connection can change our entire experience of life – if we truly let them in. We loved this reminder from the wonderful @rickhansonphd about how our days can be shaped by #takinginthegood . Right now on the #podcast we're talking all about #micropleasures #pleasurepractice and #savoring – and how powerful it can be to be fully grateful and present for life's small pleasures. AND we need to remember that likewise, #microagressions and daily acts of violence that so many of us face out in the world equally accumulate in our systems and lives. If we believe in the power of #pleasure and #joy we must do all we can to bring kindness, love and #equity into the lives of other humans, in big and small ways. Some call this the cycle of #compassion – we let in the good in our own lives, while generating it for others. We accept pleasure and joy, while working with ferocity for the benefit of others. However we do it, we are ALL creating a "necklace of seconds" every single day – make yours shine and sculpt beautiful beads with and for others. A post shared by a href="https://www.instagram.
