I had a dream a few weeks ago in which these two words “Sensualist” and “Botanist” were given to me on a piece of paper. Knowing what the latter meant but having only a basic idea about the first, I’ve been scouring the internet for some explanation of what these words mean as they relate to my higher, deeper purpose in life. Reading your explanation of the Sensualist literally made me cry – it resonates so deeply with me and I don’t feel as isolated in my experience with life. Every single word you wrote is so me, it’s such a huge relief. Also, I have been in love with and attracted to Sophia Loren since forever, – the synchronicity of it all is overwhelmingly beautiful.
Lately I’ve been running up against some huge self doubt and melancholy in life and in business. It’s like I beat myself up for having lots of fun and enjoying life because I feel like I’m overindulging in pleasure, not disciplined enough, not taking things seriously..
I’m just so incredibly grateful to have run across you and this awesome website. I can’t wait for your workbook to come out – I know intuitively that whatever you have to say will be helpful to me on my journey. Thank you!
