Your Desire Is Holy

Your desire is holy- not a weed to be pulled from existence and transcended.

The Latin root of Desire is “de Sire of the Father of the Heavens”

While desire gets a bad rap in a lot of spiritual traditions, tantra holds everything sacred, each piece of the puzzle playing its own essential role in existence.

It's the fuel of passion that makes us come ALIVE, the song in our heart that guides us towards our life's purpose and greatest fulfillment.

Desire is the spark of holy longing that perpetuates our species on this planet.

It's the yearning for the merging of matter and spirit, for the embodiment of sacred union with all that is.

What's important is *how* we work with it.

Untamed fire can burn the world down; CHANNELED fire fuels it.

Repressed desire can mutate into perversions, depression, illness, and stagnancy.

Expressed desire ((within integrity)) propels us towards our full potential.

The energy generated by desire can be channeled into so many facets of creativity, healing, service, procreation, transformation, and spiritual awakening.

Desire is problematic when we fall prey to the illusion of separateness, forgetting we are already one with what we desire. It is attachment and illusion of separateness that cause suffering, not desire itself.

Some desires can be rooted in unhealthy tendencies and can become obsessions. Determining the WHY behind them is crucial here.

Is this desire trying to fill a void, is it a vice to escape from what we don't want to look at? Is it stemming from an avoidance of pain?

Or is it calling us home to wholeness? Rooted in inspiration; beckoning our courageous growth, the offering of our gifts, the curiosity of our humanness to explore the world and to know ourselves through the reflection of another?

Is it the longing to live our fullest lives in these bodies and to express our love in a language words can only tickle with the acuity of a feather attempting to shape stone into story?

Desire is part of being human; it's the umbilical cord to divinity.

Let its flame illuminate the pulse of purpose that burns within your soul and be the fuel for devotion to what you came here to do.
