Pleasure can be easy to want and surprisingly difficult to receive.

It can reveal too much. Ask too much. Expose the places where you have been surviving on usefulness, numbness, speed, control, longing, fantasy, or crumbs dressed as intimacy.

Pleasure is My Medicine is the eighth book in the I AWAKE 7-day journey series. It is not about chasing sensation. It is about learning what your system does with what feels good.

Across seven days, Camilla Wellton guides you through the sentence “this should feel good,” the meaning the heart gives it, the invoice and the loop, what happens when pleasure becomes too revealing, the fourth signal, ritual as more than a prettier habit, and the crucial question of what remains after pleasure has passed.

This is not a book about becoming endlessly blissful. Thank you, refrigerator magnet.

It is sharper than that.

Through reading, writing, body mapping, audio support, and the Return practice, Pleasure is My Medicine helps you notice the aftertaste of pleasure: whether it leaves you more here, less here, clearer, collapsed, open, hungry, ashamed, alive, or split.

This journey is for the reader who wants pleasure to become more than escape, proof, performance, or reward after suffering.

Pleasure is not decoration.

It can become information. Contact. Structure. Medicine, when your life can hold what it opens.

THIS IS NOT A BOOK

It is a guided sensual experience.Part reading, part writing, part listening, part drawing, and part embodied practice.

This is not another self-help project to improve managing yourself.
It is a seven day guided journey for when pleasure is close enough to touch, but still not feeding the part of you that is hungry.

You feel something good. You want more. Then you loose yourself to it. The rush. The reach. The thing that should feed you, but somehow makes you hungry again.

Seven days to notice what pleasure does inside you, where you lose it, and what helps you stay close to yourself to actually receive it.

Not chasing more. Letting it reach you.

You won’t be asked to become happier. You’ll be invited to feel what actually feeds you.

You won’t be told to indulge. You’ll be shown how pleasure becomes medicine.

EACH OF THE SEVEN DAYS INCLUDES

1 guided audio practice before you start reading to ground you in your body

1 daily theme to focus your attention and help you name the unspoken

3 prompts that match the daily theme with ample writing space within the book

1 body map for you to track your sensations in relation to the daily theme

1 guided audio practice to close the day with awareness and self compassion

The journey also includes an audio guided imaginal practice to be done after the 7 days for deeper integration as well as one longer guided audio practice you can experience anytime you need a gentle dose of sensual nervous system regulation.

This is the eigth guided sensual 7-day journey in the I AWAKE The Sensual hero’s journey™. It is part of the third triad of the series, the realm of capacity.

All audio is found on the Sensual institute private course platform.

Please note that this is the digital version. While you have full access to the audio, you will not be able to write directly inside this version nor draw directly on the body maps in each chapter.
You can however use the course platform note feature to both write your answers and download the body maps.

If you want the full body to pen experience, I recommend you buy the premium full color printed format.
