I’m excited to introduce this week’s Voices from the Path guest, my friend Damiana, a Sensual Awakening Facilitator with over a decade of experience leading transformational retreats, workshops, and experiences.
She’s the founder of The Temple of Love and creator of The Orgasmic Life Method—explore her offerings via her website, Instagram, YouTube, and Spotify.
Damiana recently experienced a spinal injury and could use support; consider enrolling in her tax-deductible nonprofit services through her Linktree, which includes courses, workshops, and 1:1 sessions.
Many people feel disconnected from their sensuality. Where do you recommend they begin?
The first place I always guide someone who’s ready to awaken their sensuality—the infinite magik, pleasure, presence, and play that lives within—is to begin with the breath.
In The Orgasmic Life Method (OLM), breath is our very first step because it’s the most powerful tool for transformation we have, and yet we’ve been conditioned to BARELY breathe… So much so, that our life force energy can’t fully flow & move & go to where it’s being guide to. When we reclaim deep, intentional breathing, we begin to awaken the innate power that has been within us all along.
From there, we activate the voice—humming, toning, singing, moaning, crying—using sound as medicine to liberate, energize the body and ultimately be able to alchemize anything.
The OLM’s four universal pillars—Trust, Surrender, Open, Receive—come alive through breath, sound, movement, and touch, unlocking the bliss that is already present in our own body temples.
I share many free resources to begin this journey, including my Instagram and YouTube that have lots of videos on breath, sound activation, movement, as well as my music.
My song “Nectar of the God/dess” is a nourishing transmission for guiding you into the breath, opening yourself to receive the medicine of YOU and of the juicy nectar of life that lives within ALL THIGNS!
Through your breath and your body, you can come home to the truth of what’s been within you all along.
What inspired you to create The Temple of Love and The World of Love Movement?
The Temple of Love arose from the remembering that we are the original temples—the living altars where spirit, devotion, and love meet. Over the last decade of my sensual awakening journey, I’ve realized that everything comes back to relationship: with ourselves, our bodies, our voices, our families, money, our partners, our food, our Earth.
Love & authenticity (being YOU to the fullest extent!) is the greatest healer, the highest frequencies we can live in and INBODY—and when we choose to love ourselves first, to honor our bodies exactly as they are, to pour devotion into our lives without waiting for the “perfect” moment, we overflow naturally into others and into every area of our lives.
The World of Love Movement is my vision for a reality where love is the greatest currency—not something we wait to feel, but something we choose, especially in moments when fear, frustration, or pain arise.
Choosing love is the true alchemy. My song “Heaven Is Here, Now” carries the frequency of this movement, inviting us to embody the heaven on earth that is already here, already alive in our body temples. Through presence, pleasure, and play, we awaken to the truth that heaven is not a destination—it’s who we become when we choose love.
You’ve transformed deep pain into pleasure and liberation. What was the first step in that transformation?
The first step is simple yet radical: dive in. Most of us spend our lives running from pain, shadow, death and discomfort, but pain is a messenger—it’s here to be seen, felt, and loved.
When I was in the depths of excruciating pain as I was healing my womb of debilitating endometriosis, I began breathing deep into it, OPENING to it, opening myself to receive the medicine of what was there for me. I begun to transform the “pain” into sensations: tingling, stabbing, pulsing, aching, moving.
Energy longs to move, to be heard, to be felt, to be seen, just like anything & everything… and it only transforms when we give it our full presence, NOT by stuffing it down and making it wrong or bad or not good enough to deserve our attention and affection. By staying with it—breathing, feeling, allowing—it begins to transform.
My transmission song “Dive In” was born from my womb healing journey, offering a blueprint for how to turn toward pain and let it alchemize into liberation. This is part of the foundation of the OLM: feeling fully, both the light and the dark, so we can expand our capacity for pleasure, joy, and love. We cannot have one without the other, as we are full spectrum beings. We have just collectively forgotten this truth… But I am here to serve as a living embodiment, permission slip and reminder for those who are ready to experience a new way of living, feeling and being.
A note for those ready to explore more & dive deeper…
I share many free ways to start this journey—through my Instagram, filled with teachings and practices, my musical medicine and my YouTube channel, where I’m now building a library of long-form transmissions, guided practices, and inspiration.
If you’re ready for deeper transformation, you can explore my courses—including The Orgasmic Life Method and The Art of Worship & Surrender & the transformational eBook that goes along with it—on my website.
You’ll also find opportunities for private coaching (individual or couple’s containers), as well as testimonials and stories of transformation. Whether you’re beginning your path or deepening it, there’s a portal waiting for you to step into your power, embody your truth, and create the shifts your heart knows are possible.
Thank you for your presence & for feeling & receiving me.
With infinite love, blessings & blissings,
Damiana Loves You!
