Discoveries and practices of a Sex, Love & Empowerment Coach for Women
How can you simplify (and sexify) your life… with TIME?How can you do less and actually have more time for yourself, your family, friends?How to plan your work and playtime so that you flow naturally instead of going against the tide, get overwhelmed and drown? Yes, today I want to talk about our body’s time, our inner tempo and how to use it so that it’s working FOR YOU.We are cyclical and that’s true whether you have your periods or not.But a lot of us have lost touch with our inner compass or don’t know how to use it to navigate our lives.In this episode I am chatting with my friend Diane Przybilla about cycle awareness goodies, menarche ceremonies, fertility journey and women’s bodies wisdom.We share about our own journeys from basic (or no) education to full awareness of our cycle and how it changed us and shaped our lives. If you are curious about:How to shifting the perspective on having your periods from burden to gateway to powerThe benefits of tracking your cycle and the gifts of each of your inner seasons (when not to speak to your ex, when to batch your work and make business smart decisions, when to file your taxes…)How to stay connected to your cyclical tempo even without your periodHave a listen! >> Enjoy!CamillePS: Find out more about Diane’s work and upcoming workshop for London based women ;-)PPS: This is the last episode of the Simplify and Sexify your life in 2020 series, if you’ve missed the other ones you can check them out here:1.Mind 2.Body 3.Sexual energy 4.Emotions 5.Communication 6.Space 7.Time
“I need some space” That’s usually the moment in the movie when you know this couple is going south… Well, It could actually a REALLY good sign when you look at it differently (or at least in a non Hollywood version) We are taught that being deeply connected and intimate in our relationship is a sign of true love and we’ll experience great passion for each other. And while yes, connection and intimacy is totally a noble #relationshipgoal We also tend to misguidedly associate that goal to spending lots of time together, telling each other everything and constant physical intimacy. This is most often the recipe in long-term relationships for… vanishing desire. In our efforts to have this great intimacy we often suppress the space necessary for desire to flourish. We forget that fire needs air. I am a big believer in cultivating our own identity and the sense of mystery in our relationship to avoid the desire slowly dying by repetition and familiarity. And where do we cultivate both our sense of self and our erotic relationship at home? Yes, in our bedroom Our bedrooms are also an indicator of the energy, intention and the quality that we want to bring in our relationship. In today’s episode of the Simplify & Sexify your life in 2020 series, I wanted to touch on the notion of SPACE both in our relationship and as this intimate place at home. Our bedrooms are very symbolic places where we cultivate that sense of self-preservation, rest, but also where we share physical intimacy and sex. Simplifying means getting ride of the unnecessary, decluttering and we’ve seen that this is something that can happen on a mental, emotional, physical and energetic level. So I wanted to bring on a sanctuary expert on this podcast to chat about bedroom sanctuary and how to make the most of creating a space that can enhance our love and sex life. Becky Stanton is here on this episode to chat with me on this cool topic, we are uncovering:· What happens when you use Feng Shui as a lifestyle · The truth about your clutter · How to create harmonious bedroom sanctuary and set the best condition for great intimacy and sex Plus some tools for you to use space in your relationship as a desire re-igniter! If you are ready to make some shifts in your relationship, clear the cutter out in your bedroom (and in between you), AND sexify your bond with a spoon of mystery, you won’t want to miss this one ;-) Enjoy! xxCamille
Happy Love Day! Use it to remind yourself that you are beautiful inside out, that you are enough (and are doing enough), that you deserve pleasure daily and that you are worthy of going after your wildest desires. I believe in you. After exploring how you relate to yourself and build that self-love muscle in the past few weeks…You are now ready to deal with others, to catch yourself before you start projecting things on to others and especially your partner.You know when you are about to go to bed and you’ve been holding onto something that’s been bothering you for a while now and out of the blue (or maybe with a little help from a full moon or a slight remark) you start spilling out words and end up having a heated conversation that you’ll regret sooner than later… We’ve all been there. One key thing that can help improve or sabotage your partnership (and if you’re single your future relationship) is how you communicate with each other.I wish we all had non-violent communication training back at school! (along with good sex education, oh and yoga too)So today I invited Michelle Purta who is a marriage coach for moms to talk about the importance of your relationship dynamic and how to better communicate your feelings.We are talking about:what actually happens when you stop waiting for your partner to changethe benefits of getting clarity first and not making assumptions the art of timing for special conversationsand so much more…Plus I am sharing one practice for you to put in place to get fast and concrete results in your relationship starting NOW.Listen to the episode here (and then send it to your best friend and your mother in law…) Hope you enjoy this!All my Love,Camille PS: Next week I am exploring SPACE and talking with Becky Stanton about how to deal with clutter and create peaceful bedroom sanctuaries to take your lover in (once the talking is done ;)PPS: If you have missed the first four episodes of this series (what?? You missed the first simplify and sexify your life episodes?) go ahead and catch up ;-) You’ll learn how to put these concepts (how you relate to your mind, body, sexual energy and emotions) into concrete practices.
As I am tipping this email I am feeling sooo FRUSTRATED!I have been stuck at home with my son battling fever (poor thing) for 3 nights and 2 long days and my work is pilling up (don’t even mention the kitchen or laundries piles!)I am NOT frustrated because he is sick (a part of me is deeply grateful that I get to be here for him when he needs me to)I am frustrated because I looove my work!And I am sharing this with you not to bore you with my life but because I think it’s important to say out loud how we feel sometimes as mothers.We have different emotions pulling us in all directions. And it’s ok!I want to normalize what is still taboo for a mom: expressing her frustration or even anger because of her kids. How often do we honestly say that they drives us crazy?Feeling this is SO normal and healthy. Yet many will deny these emotions and feel ashamed of them.This is how I use to feel: frustrated AND I would make myself feel even worse for it.Sounds familiar? Here’s the thing with navigating our emotions:When you stop denying them, repressing them, and you actually give them permission to come through, you will come out of it richer.That’s right you start to use your emotions: guilt, shame, sadness, anger, joy, bliss… and see them as gifts, you transform them into fuel for your aliveness. That is what Tantra has to teach us about emotions. That’s how I completely shifted how I deal with my frustration! I am still feeling it, hell yes! Except that now I’m riding with it, yeehaw!So today on the podcast, I invited my friend Janie Petersen, aka the Tantra Mama who is on a mission to bring more pleasure to parents while raising empowered kids. And we chatted about:Tantra & parenting (yes, those two have more in common than you’d think)How to own all of our emotions and see them as treasures (or diamonds in the mud)How to make your kids feel really heard and seen in their own range of emotions And in bonus, I am sharing 1 simple practice for you to start doing TODAY.If you feel challenged by your emotions in general or one in particular, and you want to help your children navigate theirs with ease, you definitely want to listen to what we are sharing in this episode!Listen up to the episode >> Let me know what is your biggest take away!xxCamillePS: Janie and I will co-host a Jade Egg Workshop live in Berlin on March 7th to celebrate Women’s International Day, join us if you can!!PPS: Next week we’ll talk about relationships and how to better communicate with our partners! Stay tuned.
Flash news:Your sexual energy is a raw fuel that you can build up and use to boost your sex life AND other aspects of your life tooHow do I know?Because that’s what happens when you start playing with your own energy! You start to feel your energy tank is full to the brim when you wake up, you start dancing out of the blue, you feel alive and so good in your own skin.I want to talk about sexual energy in a way that’ll shift how you see it. Not too long ago I was clueless about the potential of cultivating and refining sexual energy. All I knew was that sexual energy was for sex, and that it ebbed and flow like desire and seasons.Good enough, right?Then I started to study taoist energy practices (like the Jade Egg) and I discovered that the way we think and use sexual energy is actually very limited. Yep, we are all missing out on this high and nourishing energy potential to help us live lives more fully. We haven’t been told about any of this probably because not too long ago as women if you played with sexual energy you’d end up being seen as a witch or worst…But you know what? It’s 2020 and the witches are back! Women are ready step up and to tap into this raw delicious power unapologetically. Soooo…In this juicy podcast episode I am letting you in some secrets about how sexual energy works:I am sharing about the different kind of energiesthe issue with stagnant energy (and how to avoid it)how to start building your own fresh stash a simple practice to refine this raw fuel and use it for whatever you need it in your lifeAnd obviously all of these gold nuggets of info will lead the way for your orgasms to become next level mind-blowing experiences. Once you know how to move your sexual energy inside your body, your life will never be the same!And if you think this is not for you or sounds too complicated (or woo woo ;-) I make it really simple and practical my love.Listen, if I learned it… so can you.It’s all about practicing, remember first time you tried to ride a bike or play an instrument right?Except that this time, all the practicing is fun and pleasurable ;-)Ready? All you need is 20 min >> just press play! Enjoy!All my Love,CamillePS: Starting Monday I am running a 5-day Self-Love & Pleasure Challenge in my free private group Beyond Motherhood! If you are already in there, see you soon ;-) If you are not yet: what are you waiting for mama?

How do you feel when someone compliments you on how you look, your body, your beauty?Do you accept it, deny it, automatically wonder “what does he/she wants from me?”Our relationship to our body and beauty is a BIG topic.I don’t know a single woman who doesn’t have or had a challenging relationship with at least one body part. We are all conditioned to look good, pretty and thin. And even if we don’t give a sh*t about the beauty standards of our culture, it’s more complicated than this. Most of us have internalized the messages received in our unconscious and we are the ones pointing to our defaults and criticizing and judging. This internal war is insidious and it takes practices to remove those patterns.Loving your body fully, stop fighting with yourself internally and with reality is so powerful. This is how you come to a depth of self-love.And by loving your body fully I don’t mean loving only the shiny parts but also the less popular ones. Not trying to control or change how you feel when you look at yourself but meeting every experience, sensation or thought with love. It’s NOT about going inside and changing all your thoughts into loving thoughts.It’s about allowing yourself to love the one in you judging your belly and also the one in you trying to love your belly. It’s about allowing your whole self to be compassionate, to exhale deeply and start shifting your relationship one step at the time. And today on the podcast, I have Mari de Luna, trauma informed women’s empowerment coach and nutrition specialist as special guest! She is sharing her wisdom and her journey of accepting her body and self-empowerment with us. We are chatting about:· Self-love, body-love and how to make it REAL (not just the concept)· Functional nutrition and the ONE thing to avoid to boost your libido · How to tap into pleasure to make peace with and honor your body· And so much more…At the end of the episode I am sharing 3 concrete steps towards loving your body that you can apply right away.So... clear your schedule (it’s that good) and listen up to the episode here: Lots of love,CamillePS: Last week we talked about reconnecting to ourselves after having children. We challenged our relationship to our thoughts and what is going on in our mind if we let it run unattended! If you’ve missed it here it is again ;-)PPS: Next week we’ll dive into our sexual energy…get ready!
Happy 2020!! I don’t know about you, but I am feeling the urge to let go of old stories I have been telling myself that keep me in comfort zone (out of fear).I feel ready to let go of the mind drama and to keep choosing how I relate to myself in a positive and supportive way.And I want to feel good about all of it and make it simple and pleasurable in the process, because why not?That’s exactly what I want to invite you to do too. So if you feel ready to shift towards more simplicity and spice things up in all aspects of your life this year: Here it is! The 7-part series podcast episodes about how to SIMPLIFY & SEXIFY your life in 2020!Starting today, there will be 7 consecutive episodes and each one focuses on one aspect and how you can shift your relationship to it:MindBodySexualityEmotionsCommunicationSpace TimeIt’s going to be fully packed with so much good things!Plus for each episode I am inviting a special guest to share about the aspect we are focusing on.And today, I am receiving Katie Walton, founder of Riggbee, that celebrate the person within the parent. Katie’s mission is to help parents carry little essentials in style and keep their identity on their parenting journey. She is sharing her experience, what worked for her and how she decided to create tools to make parents life easier.We are chatting about losing yourself in the fog of early motherhood and how to stay personally fulfilled and come back to yourself. I am also talking about the stories we are telling ourselves around being a (good) mother AND how to shift this and rewrite your own chosen empowering version.At the end of the episode I am sharing ONE PRACTICAL THING that you can apply right away that’ll help you deal with any mind drama you are having. You’re welcome love!Grab a drink, get cozy and listen up to the first episode here >> Lots of love,CamillePS: in bonus, here is Katie’s list of 5 minutes things you can do to regroup and stay fulfilled in the midst of early motherhood intensity. “The list is a means to spur those moments of self-enrichment, expression, and execution, so you can hold on to your identity and vitality, and then be the most inspiring, effective caregiver you can be.” I hope you’ll get some inspiration from it!
Happy Friday 13th! We are wrapping up the year and I feel a strong desire to slow down, pause and reflect back on what 2019 has brought:All the things achieved All the things that didn’t work The people who came in, the ones who left The family milestones This year has been quite unique for me and I like to slow things down so I can learn from my wins, my mistakes and truly savor all the amazing things that happened. I used to hide in action mode, one thing, then on to the next one, not really appreciating my achievements. My question was “what can I do next?”, “where do we go next”, I was running around looking for these answers outside… On my inward journey I ditched this mode to focus instead on what feels loving and brings me pleasure. Yes, the pleasure path! (oh and I also ditched the guilt too) You get to this path when you get closer and start listening in to the inner voice of passion and purpose, the one that is calling you to step into the slightly scary or uncomfortable. Listen to the voice inside that is begging you to keep dreaming, keep being curious and keep choosing to love yourself over and over again, no matter what. Being a mother and choosing to focus on self-love is not for the faint of heart. You have to be a love warrior to rediscover, reinvent yourself through motherhood and beyond while keeping guilt at bay. That is the journey I am on, and the one I want to invite you to join. My new compass question is « what is the most loving thing I can do right now » I borrowed it from a friend, you can borrow it too! And one way to bring the focus back on you and step into the pleasure path is to cultivate self-love intentionally! It is one thing to understand that self-love holds lots of keys for your happiness and another one to actually implement it in your life, FOR REAL. If you find it challenging (and you suspect your are self-sabotaging) you have two options: You can DIY and today on the podcast I am sharing 2 key self-love practices so you can start implementing right now. Or if you know you won’t do it alone and want to go much deeper, we should consider working together, that’s what I am really good at ;-) In any case, listen up to the episode here where I share some of the things I learned to come to that space of deep self-love and self-acceptance + learn the 2 self-love activating practices: • Breast Massage (get the step by step + audio guided version here) • Loving Myself Practice Enjoy!CamillePS: the Witch in me is inviting you to something special coz it’s Friday the 13th! If you already know you want to work with me but you’ve been postponing until the right moment, this is it love: if you book your free discovery call with me before the end of 2019, I am offering you a bonus Pleasure Accelerator Training! so you can jump into the pleasure path in 2020 with so much goodness and spices it’ll quickly melt the guilt away ;-) Click here to book your call with me now.
Hey!So my sister Pauline and I went to visit the Vagina Museum in London (inside Camden Market) and it is the very first museum dedicated to all things Vaginas! Yay!It’s such a powerful and much needed initiative to raise awareness of our gynaecological anatomy and health, to give confidence to people to talk about it and help erase the stigma around our body.We went to see the first exhibition called “Muff Busters: Vagina Myths and How to Fight Them”. “Almost half of the world's population has one, yet vaginas and the rest of the gynaecological anatomy are still a taboo subject in many people's daily lives. Like many subjects under-represented within society and education, more myths and legends exist in popular culture about all things “down there” than fact.”The exhibition highlights just a handful of the myths that circulate in popular culture, the internet and many other platforms about the gynaecological anatomy including society's ideals around cleanliness and appearance, periods, contraception and sex.In today’s podcast episode we chat with Pauline about our visit and what we discovered and enjoyed there ;-) We talk about: why we need to keep educating ourselves around our sexuality and anatomy how to keep breaking taboos and bring light to crazy myths our favourite part of the museum and why you’ll want to go too!plus a fun fact about my sister and I…Go ahead and listen to the episode here>> If you have a chance to come to London and visit it: go ahead! And let’s hope more initiatives like this one will start to bloom everywhere!With love,Camille
December is around the corner; Christmas trees are popping up everywhere. Everything gets a little bit more intense day after day.Planning, buying presents, cooking, decorating, eating and drinking.‘Tis the season to be…. busy busy busy!’If you like it this way: then great. But if a part of you is already tired about the frenzy and seasonal imperatives, I would like to invite you to do things differently this year… Instead of pushing and keep doing and over-doingI want you to give yourself a big dose of PERMISSIONPermission to relaxPermission to slow down Permission to simply be youThis is the most freeing thing to me...And you can do that in any given situation, but the holiday season sure is a perfect and much needed time to practice it!More than a way to cope with the stress and overwhelm of it, it is a perfect opportunity to connect to who you are at your core, to connect to how you are feeling underneath. And to go there we need first to give ourselves permission. Permission to feel through the body. Instead of focusing on pushing and «improving» oneself in order to be «good enough», we shift the focus on relaxation and release.In this week’s podcast episode, I am exploring the topic of giving ourselves permission.Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll learn (in only 10 min):· How to cope with seasonal overwhelm and why you need to give yourself permission to relax daily· How to use this as an opportunity to meet yourself under the layers · How you bring your nervous system into a downward stress spiral (and how to stop it)· And bonus: a gentle Solar Plexus relaxation practice to help you connect to this important part of your body (#secondbrain)Click here to listen to today’s episode: However you are able today, make sure you take time for yourself and savor the incredible flavor of permission. Major bonus here: when you live and choose to gives yourself permission you invite others to give themselves some, too! :)Love,CamillePS: Stay tuned, next week I’ll tell you all about my visit to the Vagina Museum that just opened in London! And if you want to keep giving yourself more and more permission to be yourself and be surrounded by positive vibe and badass supporting women, join our private group here.
Remember, when you where a child... playing was so natural and you used it as a way to connect and share with others. The essence of play is linked to having a wild imagination, to feeling limitless, to give yourself permission to try new things… I LOVE to play! And I know this energy is quite contagious so… today I want to invite you to bring more playful energy into your life. It could be in your work life, with your friends, at home with your children or in the bedroom with your lover. -How to play with your children in a new way (you don’t have to like Cluedo) - Why playing is not just for children? -How to bring this playful energy into the bedroom? -How to shift routine (or boring) sex for something more wild?

I want to share a fun practice with you that work wonder if you are in a long-term relationship as well as if you just met someone and want to experience sensational sex!One of the big blocks to feeling sensational sexuality is the high expectation and pressure to always deliver. Once you stop worrying about having to feel a certain way or having a certain response to your partner’s touch, a new world of sensitivity is revealed. Sharing your sensations and experiences with your partner helps encourage them to try new things and to feel more connected to you. In today ‘s episode you’ll learn:why so many of us struggle to even feel or express ourselves at all during sexwhat to do if your partner is insensitive or disconnected during sexhow to open up the way that you communicate during sex with your partner
We all know that having less sex is part of life with a new baby. Yet when the children are a bit older, when we’re less tired and we have more opportunity to be intimate, we can look forward to our sex life returning pretty much to what it was pre-children, right? Well, apparently not. In this week’s episode of Beyond Motherhood Podcast we are digging into: Who is actually having the least sex… Why is it such a big struggle after having children (psst! it is not what you are thinking) What to do if you have lost your sexual attraction to your partner And how to create more intimacy within yourself and/or with your partner? In this episode I am letting you in one of my favorite breath practice: the Breath of Intimacy It is such a practical and powerful tool that you can apply right away to create inner intimacy and connection, which then creates outer intimacy and connection.
In this podcast episode I am sharing this practice called Love, Fears and Desires. This is a real game changer for communication, because it’s not just about communicating in a healthy, positive and mature way, it’s also about how to hold space for and invite your partner to go deeper into the core of the issue. It has the power to shift old patterns and allow you to be really supportive of each other’s needs and desires. What a breeze! This is what you’ll learn: · How to speak to each other regularly about what you want, really fear and really love about each other · How to explore issues that are stressful and without getting triggered and escalading into a fight · How to support your relationship by creating container for real communication.
In today's episode we will uncover ways to truly love and accept your body, even the “hard to love” parts.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: How to not let it get in the way of surrendering in the bedroom How to wrap those thoughts in loving compassion by changing the way you talk to yourself How to accept, feel grateful, compliment and celebrate a challenging body part Plus I share 3 self-body-love practices to help you get there!
Want to know how to stay clear, positive and focused (even in chaos)? Even if all you have is only 5 min per day and you don’t know where to start? In this week’s episode of Beyond Motherhood, I want to share about the practice of visualization and how this tool can help you move towards your desires, your goals in a way that is really supportive.

You'll learn: >How I got into these life changing energy practices >How pleasure is right under healing and how to get there >How to access confidence and increase self-love in an empowered and beautiful way.
In this episode I am talking about balance and how to reclaim more time and space for you without the guilt trip. I share about my own journey, what has worked for me and how you can restore your balance in a way that works for you.
There’s something you *probably* don’t know about me, and to be totally real with you, it’s a little on the embarrassing side...But heck, I just watched the new Brene Brown documentary and if anyone can inspire vulnerability and openness, it’s her!So here it goes...Flashback to 2002, I was studying in Barcelona for a year (thank you Erasmus!) and at that time my dream was to make movies and I was applying to get into the best movie making school in France. I also had a crush on my handsome neighbor. I was exalted and felt so inspired and alive.Soon after I realized my hot neighbor had a boyfriend and not long after that I didn’t get accepted into my dream school. My ego was crushed.I could have kept trying but instead I went back to studying History in Paris, living with my cat in a tiny studio. I felt lonely and uninspired; I lost touch with my creativity and followed my mother’s advice to become a teacher. My life - powered by passion until then- derailed. When most people give up on their dreams, they gradually numb themselves out. They tell themselves that this is it. C’est la vie! That only few lucky people can really make it living of their passion. And that at some point it is too late to do anything about it.I’m living proof that’s not the case. After years of listening closer and closer to my guts and heart, I have never been so happy and passionate about what I do as I am creating the reality I truly wanted.Even if you think you are stuck and so far from your dreams, you can always reconnect to your passionate self.On today’s podcast (yep!) I’m talking all about (re)connecting to passion.If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your source of passion, you won’t want to miss this podcast.Head over here to check it out >>> This is a short and sweet kind of podcast where I’m digging deep into... What it means to be passion fuelled The link between sexual desire and finding your calling (yes!) The simple steps and the golden question to ask yourselfLove,Camille PS: this is my very first podcast episode, I was going to wait until I got a great microphone, the perfect timing and... the kids are at the park and I just felt like jumping in and couldn’t wait to share my content with you in this new format! So here it is in a rough version, there is no jingle and the sound quality may not be great but bear with me and please share your thoughts about it and also what you would like for me to cover in future episodes ;-) Thank you!
Lately I have been craving the contact with the ocean and the fresh air from the mountains, I live in London and at this time of year my whole body is ready for a summer break to get replenished by nature in my beautiful Basque Country in France. I want to share a very simple practice that can help you take energy from nature and the love that’s around her (even if you don't live near nature). It’s great if you feel tired, depleted, overwhelmed by urban lifestyle, or simply in need of a digital detox!In this practice, you are going to find a source of nature to be replenished by. For example: • Walking in the forest • Being by the ocean • Drawing on nature if you live in an urban environment – the moonlight, the sunlight, the beauty of a flower, walking barefoot in a park, etc. Step 1 Decide the source of nature that you are going to work with. Pull the energy, the Qi, the essence, the prana of nature into your system. Step 2 Inhale it through your whole system and feel yourself holding this energy. As you exhale, feel yourself enriched, enlivened, and activated by it. Feel the power and energy of the ocean fill you, the power and energy of the night sky fill you, the power and energy of the moon or the sun fill you, and drink it into all of your cells. I have recorded my version of this practice with the wild waves of the Pacific Ocean on the background. Feel free to use it or the more general one (without the waves ;-) or you can even create your own! Enjoy!❤Camille
As I go through my day, trying to find my balance with being a mom and running my own business one of the thing I find most challenging is having enough energy to support all that I have to do AND stay sane! It is so helpful to have a regular daily practice to help maintain that level of high vibrational energy and to be honest without it, I start to feel overwhelmed...One of my favorite practices to fill myself up is the Heart Power Meditation.This is great when you feel your inner-critic taking over or when you are afraid of being seen in the world. You work on a deep level as you drench yourself in self-love on your physical, energetic, mental, and emotional dimensions. Step 1 Sitting or lying down, begin to inhale and exhale out of your spiritual heart at the center of your chest, your physical heart, and your breasts and chest. As you inhale and exhale, really connect to the love that exists inside of your heart.Step 2 Now as you inhale, feel your heart expand; exhale and feel this pulsation, this expansion of love into every aspect of your being. Inhale into your love; exhale and pulsate that love into every cell of your body, into your bones, your muscles, your blood. Let your body receive this infinite, unconditional love. Step 3 Now as you inhale into your heart, exhale and pulsate love into your energy body. Feel every layer of energy within you filled with love and your whole aura sparkling and shimmering with love. Step 4 Now as you inhale into your heart, feel your love; exhale and pulsate your love into every emotion existing within you right now. Feel the deepest of love connecting with every emotion. Step 5 Inhale into your heart; exhale and pulsate love into your mind, into your thoughts, into the whole structure of your mind. Step 6 Inhale into your heart and pulsate love into your soul and into your spirit; feel this deep connection of unconditional love permeating your whole soul and spirit. Step 7 Now relax and feel yourself filled, drenched with the power of love on all levels. ❤Camille
