Sensual

February 17, 2025

Sensuality is the art of being present in your body, of experiencing the world through your senses with depth and intention. It is the warmth of sunlight on your skin, the lingering taste of ripe fruit on your lips, the way silk glides over your fingertips. Sensuality is not just about touch; it is the way music sends shivers down your spine, how a scent can transport you to a memory, how a gaze can speak volumes without a single word.

To be sensual is to be attuned to yourself, to honor pleasure in its many forms—not just the obvious, but the subtle: the rhythm of your breath, the feeling of stretching your body in the morning light. It is about savoring life rather than rushing through it, about embracing the richness of each moment. Sensuality is self-connection, a form of self-love, an invitation to exist fully in your own skin.

🇪🇸

La sensualidad es el arte de estar presente en tu cuerpo, de experimentar el mundo a través de tus sentidos con profundidad e intención. Es el calor del sol sobre tu piel, el sabor persistente de la fruta madura en tus labios, la manera en que la seda se desliza sobre tus dedos. La sensualidad no se trata solo del tacto; es el modo en que la música te estremece, cómo un aroma puede transportarte a un recuerdo, cómo una mirada puede decirlo todo sin pronunciar una sola palabra.

Ser sensual es estar en sintonía contigo mismo, honrar el placer en todas sus formas, no solo en lo obvio, sino también en lo sutil: el ritmo de tu respiración, la sensación de estirar tu cuerpo bajo la luz de la mañana. Se trata de saborear la vida en lugar de apresurarse a través de ella, de abrazar la riqueza de cada instante. La sensualidad es conexión con uno mismo, una forma de amor propio, una invitación a existir plenamente en tu propia piel.

The Love you constantly give out is not going to fill you in

January 17, 2025

How many times have you given all of your love to anyone else but yourself? How often do you fool yourself that if you show how deep and carrying your love is same will come back to you and fill you? Which person you usually put first - your child, your spouse, your family, etc. ?

Don’t get me wrong - giving love is the best you can do. And for sure the love and kindness you give out will come back to you in some way, share or form. But what you’re looking for outside of yourself will never complete you, will never make you feel the way you’re longing so desperately at times to feel.

There are different kinds of love, although the core feeling is the same. What we miss to acknowledge many times in our lives, especially when we’re young or unexperienced, is that the love we want is only possible to be received from someone or something outside of us. The love that we want has never been and will never be anywhere else but inside of our own Self.

The true ability to love and care about others is first reflected on the ability to love yourself. The way you treat yourself is crucial. We tent to give more than we actually have, emptying our own cup completely dry, giving to those we love from desperation and lack rather than abundance and fulfilment. What happens then? - we need up with a burn out, illness, relationship collapse and satisfaction. We say we did everything for them, we did everything they wanted, but what did we do for ourselves, what did you did for you?

How many times you neglected your own needs to please someone else, even if it’s your own child, to then receive unappreciation that made you feel even emptier? It’s hard to say no and ignore the needs of your loved ones, but you cannot give what you don’t have already. If you try to, and we all have done it, you do both party a disservice - you end up lacking value for them and drying out inside. A so called ‘act of love’ turns into a demonstration of toxic trades, patterns and behaviours.

Even on the plane they say “put your own oxygen mask first” - you can’t help outers if you don’t take care of yourself First. This is not a selfish act, but a necessity. It’s not something to be ashamed about, rather the contrary - showing act of self care is the way to teach your children and loved ones the importance and benefits of self-care, value and potential there is in the act.

So next time you feel tired, want to spent time with yourself, have a desire to nurture yourself in any way - do it! Do it for you, for your inner child and that will reflect on your current relationships. Your children will be happier to spent time with self-fulfiller parent, who let them drink from their overflowing cup.

You deserve it by birth right.

Comment

HELLO!

Thank you for stopping by!

In my blog space you can find details about my work, behind the scenes of sessions, and any news, tips and info regarding the photography I do.

Here is also the place where you can find more about my fine art nude work and photographs that can’t be published on social media platforms, due to their restrictive t&c.

Sometimes I share personal thoughts, things that I get inspired or moved by, while living my life as a creator and human.

Feel free to leave a comment or ask any question you have.

Enjoy!
