Eros Energy The Dance of Aliveness - Joanna Poulton

The Philosophy of Aliveness

In this section, the speaker introduces the topic of aliveness and asks the audience to reflect on what makes them feel alive.

What is Aliveness?

• The speaker asks if there is a way to measure aliveness and suggests that we feel alive in different moments of life.

• Our sense of aliveness is linked to being present in the moment and connecting with our senses.

• The concept of Eros energy comes from ancient Greeks, who described it as a universal force that moves all things towards peace. It enhances our sensation of the present moment.

Eros Energy and Pleasure

• Happy chemicals such as endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin enhance our sense of aliveness by activating different areas of the brain and body.

• Eros energy creates pleasure-loving individuals who seek out pleasure in life. It is an awakening force that shakes the body and heart open.

• Where Eros flows, pleasure chemicals flow. This creates a beautiful dance of aliveness.

Accessing Universal Dance

• From our first moments, Eros creates our dance. We can tap into this universal dance by being fully present in this world.

• The speaker invites the audience to breathe deeply and be aware of their senses.

• As we breathe deeply, we become more aware of ourselves through our senses - taste, smell, sight etc.

Sensory Awareness

• We are asked to notice unique shapes within us as we breathe deeply

• We are asked to circle our lips, teeth, and gums to reveal tastes

• We are asked to notice the colors, shapes, lights, and shades in the room as well as vibrations of sounds.

Conclusion

The speaker invites us to join her in accessing the universal dance of aliveness by being fully present in this world. By connecting with our senses and tapping into Eros energy, we can enhance our sense of aliveness and experience pleasure in life.
