Hello beautiful, sexy, wonderful and kinky friends and strangers 💕
What is your definition of spirituality?
(this blog post is partially inspired by a forum post a while back regarding spirituality and BDSM).
I understand that the concept of spirituality varies from person to person. I also understand that spirituality and religion are not mutually exclusive. You may experience or hold strong beliefs in both, neither, or one or the other.
spirituality to me is the feeling of “oneness” or intense connection. This connection creates a temporary feeling of a higher state of existence and it can manifest in many ways.
My real life examples:
Giving birth to a child and experiencing pure and intense love and connection.
Pushing my body during a race (I used to be a runner), the runners high and elated happiness you can receive after pushing your body to its limit.
Yoga is spiritual to me as it creates a fluid connection between my mind and body and calms the relentless chatter inside my brain.
Traveling to different cities or countries (especially when traveling alone) and fully immersing myself into the culture and beliefs, living in the moment is one of the greatest feelings I have ever experienced. I have never felt more connected to our earth and the community of individuals in it.
all of these examples are near and dear to my heart. But what about in BDSM? Does spirituality exist in a D/s relationship?
In my (somewhat seldom) experiences, the answer is yes! It is absolutely present. And in my personal opinion and experiences I would say that submissives would more easily and readily feel the essence of spirituality during a play session when they slip into subspace. A D/s bond can be a very deep and meaningful connection. Both members contributing efforts, knowing that the partner doesn’t simply want or expect this but that they need and crave it. When my needs and cravings are satisfied I feel a connection (sense of oneness) and calmness, with my mind, body and partner.
my needs and cravings were being met (to an extent) but just recently were take away, cold turkey 😬And it has inspired me to write on the topic. Dominants please be gentle and cognizant that the role you play in the life of those who submit to you is probably more deep and meaningful than you realize.💕
