I posted a Thread the other day that sparked an important conversation...

Can you feel the difference between Longing + Yearning versus Lusting? 🌹

As a [formerly] VERY lusty woman who attracted equally lusty, promiscuous men as my mirror, I'm SO grateful for that era.

It taught me the difference between:

🔥DESIRE and DEVOTION.🔥

👉I had to go thru the FULL-SPECTRUM, embodied experience to learn. It was painful. And it was liberating.

You can be erotically empowered without being energetically leaky.

🚩Sexual energy that's misdirected + misused is extremely depleting on both sides.

💎Sexual energy that's heart-centered + used intentionally can literally raise your consciousness + transmute pain into power.

I went thru a rough decade of chasing + externalizing intimacy for validation, being unconsciously driven by my own selfish wants + primal (unharnessed, immature) sexual energy 👉 to a decade of solitude + abstinence - decentering men (for my own healing - not for the long-term) + prioritizing a daily spiritual practice (pouring ALL that love + raw, erotic life-force into a devotional path for an extended period, no distractions) to FEEL (not "think") into the difference for myself.

And now…the men are waking up, too. ✨

Over the last two years, 85% of my private clients have been men - all of them over 45 yrs old.

Something profound is shifting.

So many of us are craving heart-centered, erotic, devotional love - not just fleeting passion, but:

❤️‍🔥Reciprocal intimate exchange that's heart-opening + deepens (not weakens) over time.

❤️‍🔥Mutual connection that's nourishing, energizing + energetically clean/clear for both parties.

❤️‍🔥An intimate bond that creates an alchemy that burns away what isn't true + what isn't love.

❤️‍🔥Loving connection that's passionate AND brings you closer to the Divine. 🪽

Yes, it exists - but you do have to create the karma for it.

What I'll say is:

THE FIRE OF DEVOTION REFINES YOU. 🔥

It requires you to be fully seen, open to correction, responsible for your side of things (your own karma) + flexible enough to be in the extreme discomfort of transformation without avoidance, running away or sabotaging things completely. Devotion means sitting in the flames (+ letting your fear, insecurities + ego fry 😂).

In Buddhism, ignorant desire (one of the Three Poisons) causes suffering.

But desire used consciously - with correct spiritual view - becomes the cause for liberation.

The key here is to know the difference.

I’m not here to tell you how to “fix your behavior”.

I’m here to help you recognize the motivation beneath the behavior - to transform the karmic pattern at its root.

To know the subtle difference between hunger + sacred longing or between reaching for someone to fill a void versus reaching because love wants to express itself through you as the vessel.

I’m opening two spots only for private 1:1 mentorship before the end of the year.

This is the most intimate, nuanced way to work with me - for those ready to deepen your desire into devotion... and stay with that focus (whether in romantic love, life/creative purpose or BOTH - it's all connected) long enough for it to blossom into wisdom.

Both feet, ALL IN.

(All offers/rates will rise in the new year, so if you’ve felt the pull, now's your time.)

👉 Get the details + apply here for Private 1:1 Mentorship

If you know devotional love + sacred intimacy is your path (whether you're single now or refining your current partnership) - and you want to apply Tibetan Buddhist wisdom to accelerate that process - I'd be honored to walk beside you + guide your next steps.

Big love,

Ali xx 💋
