Hi dear hearts,

I promised to give you more shares from my recent magical journey to the Hawaiian islands.

VIBRANT HAWAII:
The Hawaiian Islands are some of the newest and most vibrant land on the earth. In fact, due to the flowing nature of their volcano’s their are ongoingly being birthed. There is an aliveness in the spirit of the land, sea, air, fire there. A sacredness. (One definition of SACRED: Awareness of the precious soul force in a place, thing, or being.)

SHAMANIC PERSPECTIVE:
In the Shamanistic Perspective, all things are alive and have chi, spirit, prana, mana, ashe, energy. The Divine is imbued in all things. There is a dance or interaction between each being and element in the earth. A flow. A synchrodestiny. A soul river.

When we choose to become aware of ourselves as Shaman, we choose to train our awareness of sensation, intuition, gut knowing, the hairs on the back of our skin, Inner Knowing, dreams, and energy.

This awareness is not about EGO. Or “Oh, great and powerful me who knows better or more than others.

This awareness is about SOUL. Or ” Breathing. Slowing down. Trusting the still, small voice of the soul to guide us to “right action.”

I am an initiated Shaman in 4 traditions, yet I live in a modern mechanistic, objectifying world. It is a challenge to stay present to the Inner Aliveness of the Soul in all things. Yet, that is where I find love, connection, bliss, union, communion and yes SACRED SEXUALITY.

I will be sharing many shamanic tales of my trip to Hawai’i with you. The first. . .

KANALOA: THE GOD OF THE SEA

I have always loved the water. Warm baths. Refreshing pools. Briny oceans. As a youngling, my family lived by Lake Michigan, belonged to a country club, and traveled to the Caribbean in winter. I was always near or in the water. It felt like coming home.

The first time each year that I returned to the summer pool, I would dive deep, hold my breath, and spend time reconnecting with the water. I would look up through the prisms of wavering fluid and imagine I lived there. When other people had flying dreams, my dreams were of living beneath the sea.

In my 20’s, I was called to the path of Priestess and Shaman. My 2nd initiation was as a Daughter of Yemaya (the Afro-Brazilian and Yoruba Goddess of the Sea.) Since then, whenever I have been traveling to a new ocean, I have done a ritual there in honor of Her.

This my 4th time in Maui (and to be my first time in the Big Island of Hawai’i) something surprising happened.

Dear hearts, it’s later than I feel comfortable with tonite. After traveling so much, my house is calling to me to clean, to rest, and to sleep. I hope we will connect in the sacred land of dreams.

More on the journey to meet the God of the Sea. . . soon.

Love & blessings,
Francesca

It’s been a very long day, yet who can complain?

My beloved I left the house at 5am Pacific Standard Time to catch a flight to Maui, Hawaii. Time becomes surreal. Flights are late. Our bed and breakfast overlooking the sea has no cell coverage.

By 3pm Maui time (6pm California time) we are seeking “good signal” for my phone interview with “Sex Talk” radio w/ Andrea Miller (http://www.wbgufm.com/tunein.php). The show airs live 10pm to Midnite Eastern Standard Time. I recommend it.

I sit in the car looking out at the beach and phone into to Andrea. It is intimately dark and late in the East Coast for my listeners. It is glowing and bright, yet filled with sultry tropical breezes where I am talking in Hawaii. Perhaps we meet and meld between the dark and sensuous.

Andrea and her cohorts (two wonderful men) add spice to the questions and comments. We discuss sacred sex, becoming the lover they never forget, how to remember what your lover likes, sexual healing with a beloved and much more.

Two weeks ago, when I was interviewed on Playboy Radio, it was a challenge to bring the focus of the conversation to the sacred. This past Friday on Sex Talk radio the sacred erotic was nourished and unveiled with ease.

What was the difference?

My sense is that in the Playboy (and the porn perspective), the body is viewed as parts, and a tool for pleasure. Something like a car. “How can we get this vehicle to run better, and at faster speeds?”

Knowing about the mechanics of the body is very important for beautiful sex.

To create great sex, it’s important to find out, get training, and ask questions such as:

What is the clitoris? G-spot? Prostrate? How do I touch them in pleasing and arousing manners? How do hormone imbalances affect sex drive for men and women? What lubricants are most effective? Etc. (ASK ME - I’m happy to give you resources and suggestions).

What most folks don’t know is that a knowledge of the mechanics of a car will not make you a world class Formula 1 race car driver. World class athletes are intuitive, know how to work with “flow,” and even meld (or be one) with their vehicle (as in a car or horse).

World class sacred lovers have a more expanded perspective. They study the body mechanics available in the West. They also study Taoist sexual wellness and balancing techniques. They also take on practices to expand consciousness, presence, heart, and energy intuition.

One of the greatest crimes of perception in our culture is that men should be porn star studs, always hard & ready, detached from their emotional truths, and have figured out how to “get some” by the time they are teens.

This “power over” the cock mentality, is heirarchical and dominator based. “I should give commands and everything should obey me.” It leads to much of the suffering in our world in so many ways. Not just “hey cock, sit up, roll over, stand up straight, be a man” BS but “Hey you, obey authority. Go to war. Forget your heart. Don’t feel. Be a man. ” BS.

(Note: To women reading this. Be aware that we often collude with men to keep them detached from their hearts. I recommend “The Men We Never Knew: Healing the Emotional Lives of Men” by Daphne Rose Kingma)

The Mage of Love (and I am blessed to be mated with one know and have partnered with several) knows that each beloved is a new instrument of love, a new discovery, a new fertile ground to be adored. The Mage of Love has the courage to open his heart, his intuition, and his senses to new learning.

The Mage of Love intends to be a healing experience to each lover. The Mage of Love is also on a journey to care for his own healing. The Mage of Love is not concerned if he is flaccid (not engorged). He trusts that as he connects heart, body, breath, mind, and spirit the tumescence will be there. And if it is not, it is time to discuss or connect more fully with his beloved in other ways. (I will be writing a blog or essay about “The Intuitive Phallus).

There is more about my 6 days of spiritual sensual journey in Hawaii to be revealed. I hope you join with me in it.

More to come:
- Sexual healing session with my beloved
- Meeting the God of the Sea
- Discovering a reincarnated Precious Priestess of Love

Loving you,
Francesca
