🪬💋🔮 --> THA HEALING PLAYGROUND.
[ spiritual goonery. ]
Have you ever wondered if there were more exciting and inspirational ways to heal your sexual trauma?
Have you ever felt that there was more to the taboo lifestyle than what societal norms propagate?
Would you be interested in other alternatives to sexual healing than the generic, white-led sexual wellness spaces that are filled with a lack of cultural awareness?

As I’ve analyzed the 8th house of my natal chart in astrology — as far as the presence of my Sun, Jupiter, Venus & Chiron, as well as the zodiac archetypes of Gemini & Cancer ruling it — my interpretation of these placements have led to my devoting the heart of my life purpose and career path to challenging the confines of societal norms and preconceived notions surrounding the potential of the erotic to heal; with a particular focus on the very unique and disproportionate sexual trauma Black Women & our Ancestors have experienced over generations.
Because of these particular placements I’ve found that I’m able to play in the realm of taboos effortlessly and fearlessly; in rebellion to the fearful conformity that society & the Black community choose to obey. I’ve also been able to navigate the intricate domains & themes of this house, as I unravel the layers of societal norms and taboos that must be brought to light.
Because I’m also a Capricorn Moon, my childhood didn’t include much play — which is why I’ve chosen to intentionally incorporate and dedicate time, effort and exploration into the realm of kink as a new form of play…and healing. As I’ve begun exploring kink and play in this way, I’ve found that although the realm of unconventional kinks is often misunderstood, its overflowing with potential for personal growth, self-discovery & amplified communication prowess.
Interestingly enough, most don’t realize the dormant potential present in the act of embracing and exploring the depths of our sensual desires as Black Women that can serve as a catalyst for self-liberation and empowerment when it comes to standing in our authentic energy and feminine power.

“Even if you can’t pinpoint exactly where your bruised places lie, be mindful that Black people can experience ancestral suffering transmitted through our bloodlines… When we take ownership of our healing, we’re doing it for those that we may never meet in this lifetime,” says the wellness coach known as Dr. Crystal Jones. “You are healing DNA that was passed on to you.”

Although taboo, embracing unconventional kinks is about growth, expanding horizons, embracing diversity and challenging the status quo of what healing looks like — which can result in a heightened sense of self-awareness, bolstered confidence and an enriched emotional landscape.
The healing possible in this space has unfortunately been hidden beneath the fearful assumptions that society attaches to anything related to sex.
Fortunately, the realm of unconventional kinks is also a space where societal norms are often defied, self-discovery is naturally embraced and relationships have a greater chance to flourish. By delving into these uncharted territories, individuals embark on a transformative journey — unlocking facets of their personalities and relationships they never knew existed.
I envision the space of unconventional kinks — such as Sensual BDSM, Shibari, Praise Kink and Impact Play — as a healing playground where you’re able to explore the uncharted and revel in the beauty of your desires on your own terms; especially when, as Black Women, our circumstances & environments usually don’t promote us exploring these states of being or healing when it pertains to our disproportionate exposure to sexual abuse and trauma.

Truth is —
“If we don’t seek healing for ourselves, we doom future generations of Black people to the same suffering. We must be intentional in our quest for healing, to change our trajectory.”
[ Scott, Olivia F. ]
If you give yourself the chance to embrace the space of unconventional kinks as a path towards your personal evolution — from my personal experience — you’ll be introduced to a journey towards self-discovery that leads to introspection, confronting personal boundaries and unraveling the intricacies of one’s desires; an intimate exploration that unveils hidden facets of the self and fosters a deeper understanding and acceptance of one’s identity.
In addition to your relationship with self — as you partake in the healing modalities available — when utilizing unconventional kinks you’ll also uncover the fascinating potential to enhance your communication within external relationships. There’s a foundation of trust and vulnerability required to indulge in these desires in order to create a space for open and honest communication in all of your relationships.
This mutually healing landscape crafted from a realm that’s often coated in villainy by mainstream society involves learning the art of understanding, negotiation and consent in order to foster more profound connections.
