Rachel Rae Halder - Erotic Earth Embodiment

What’s the point of seggsual healing when the world is on fire? When war is raging? When people are dying?

The point is because liberation matters. In all forms.
The personal IS political.

I stand by that fully. When we ourselves are not liberated — are confined by the patterns and constructs and dogmas that exist in and around us — how on earth do we expect to transform this world we are living in?

It’s been hard for me to continue launching my program Slow Burn. I’ve been struck with grief, feeling the pain of the world. I’ve had tough personal conversations with people closer to the conflict than myself. I’ve also held clients—both Jewish and Muslim—in their fear and loss, as they grapple with this conflict and what it means for them and their communities.

I would be a fool to think that I know even half of what there is to know about this conflict.

But what I do know for myself is that I stand for liberation of the oppressed, and there is absolutely a necessity to continue our personal healing journeys as much as we continue advocating for a better world for all.

That’s not to say we need to be perfectly healed to heal the world. There is no such thing as perfect, nor is there something that exists that is as defined as “healed.”

But without understanding our own nervous system dynamics, without being able to be with our pain and our anger and our grief in ways that support us as opposed to harm us, I don’t know how we can fully advocate for a world that is on fire.

Understanding how to offer myself empathy, understanding and validation helps me show up much stronger to others and the world at large with response as opposed to reaction. A strong response. An empowered response. A response of that encourages right relationship with the earth and humanity.

Personal healing does not have to bypass the very real realities of the world. It can inform it.

I haven’t spoken deeply on what’s happening in the world for many reasons, one being that I don’t want to use this situation in any way to market Slow Burn, or to take away from the very real concerns and fear many are living with. But I also recognized that if I was wondering what the point of s*xual healing is in a world that’s on fire — and I’m the one ADVOCATING for deep, intentional, slow and self-empowered healing — that you might be wondering that, too.

It is important to see that the type of seggsual healing Slow Burn offers — which holds self-trust and internal safety as the absolute foundation of the work — is exactly the medicine we need in this world. Thawing out patterns of freeze, coming out of burn out, integrating our pain and sorrow: this the medicine we need now… not later. And this is the medicine Slow Burn offers.

If you feel overwhelmed by the state of the world — may I suggest that you start by tuning in to yourself? I believe it’s the medicine we all need.
