Today, we’re featuring a breakout session recording titled, Erotic Self-Care for Spiritual Wholeness.
Mindfulness is the key to self-care in any aspect of our lives, and self-care is essential for a fruitful, healthy life of service to others. Even for those practicing celibacy or abstinence until marriage, erotic self-care—which does not necessarily involve sex or even the genitals—mindfully approaches the places where we connect most intimately with ourselves, with God, and (as appropriate) with others. Exploring our desires before God helps us choose the best forms of relating for us, given our unique situations, inclinations and aspirations, allowing us to participate in God’s dream for the joyous reconciliation of all things.
