Are you wondering how to enjoy the simple pleasures in life? I wondered about it too. I went to this delicious class with Miguel Antonio Fleischauer and he asked us… Again and again… Maybe he asked, “how are you inhibiting your pleasure?” Maybe he asked, “do you block yourself from receiving pleasure?”
The Secret to Enjoy the Simple Pleasures in Life
But…
I haven’t stopped thinking about it or asking the question. Because I was blocking it. I was avoiding it. I was ashamed.
Why?
Who cares why. I’m guessing society, parents, religion, shame. How we are taught to stuff ourselves down and hold ourselves together.
Enjoy the Simple Pleasures in Life: Feel Your Own Body
I listened to a comedian today talk about how TRULY freaky we are about sex. He was particularly focused on men… It was hilarious, of course, he’s a comedian…
But really… Why do we hold it all in?
What if we could actually be totally self-expressed? What if we could ravage our spouses of 20 years.
What if we untied our chains of resentment and expectation to one another? What would that even look like? Click To TweetI’m not suggesting some Sodam and Gamorrah crap here… Although perhaps that story is part of our restraint.
I’m just simply suggesting to feel your own body. Feel yourself in your own skin. It doesn’t have to be sexual. I’m a massage therapist for God’s sake, and I get massages all the time. They’re incredibly pleasurable in a non-sexual way.
Maybe that’s the problem with our culture? Everything we think about bodies and pleasure and love leads right back to sex because the “training (life training)” has been so restrictive? So limited?
What if …
- What if you fed a lizard some banana? Watched him eat it? He loves it! That’s pleasurable.
- What if you told jokes with your children until they fall over laughing? That’s pleasurable.
- What if you brush your best friend’s hair while she lays in your lap and lets you love her? That’s pleasurable.
- What if you have a big slice of delicious chocolate cake with a nice, smooth, rich, creamy coffee? Sooo pleasurable.
- What if you share favorite movie scenes from the 80s and stories about your teenage kids with one of your oldest opposite sex friends and laugh at how old you are and how ridiculous and wonderful romantic young love is? Unbelievable pleasure and deep connection.
- Writing a book? Pleasure
- Singing a song? Pleasure
- Dancing ecstatically? Pleasure
How are you holding back pleasure? How can you let yourself experience more?

Heather Hundhausen, a mind/body/spirit healer and facilitator, works with heart centered individuals who are ready to release their physical and emotional pain and reconnect their minds with their bodies so they can start living a life of passion and purpose. She assists people in making decisions in their lives by following their heart, mind, intuition and soul, from a place of being whole and in integrity.
With over fifteen years as a licensed massage therapist, Heather understands the connection between how someone's emotions can show up as physical pain. Using a variety of massage techniques, including neuromuscular therapy and structural realignment, she now does her ground breaking work by helping her clients to reach back through the pain and remember who they are to create wholeness and fullness.
During her years practicing traditional massage therapy, and while an intern working on her Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling, she realized that people responded strongly when addressing their feelings and not just their thoughts. Working with this knowledge, she began to create an experiential environment for her clients, having them focus less on what they were thinking and more on what they were feeling. She discovered that when people began to release their emotions, they also released their physical pain. Heather is now passionate about helping people do just this so they hear their inner voice and then act upon their intuition so they create a new physical, mental and emotional life for themselves.
Heather’s authenticity, integrity, honor, commitment to her clients, and ability to create trust ensures that client's have a safe space to experience the exploration and release of their pain. Her clients say she is skilled at spiritual and emotional healing and is a great partner to have on the journey to contentment. As one particular client stated, “She opened my heart so the grief could emerge and then joy was able to fill that space.”
Heather is a popular speaker and workshop leader and facilitator, with one of her most popular workshops, “Connect on Purpose: Interpreting Your Body's Signals for Greater Wisdom and Empowerment” helping guide people to live their purpose, which Heather describes as “being able to take your talents and gifts and put them into action.” She is currently authoring a book and developing additional workshops, including a meditation group.
A licensed massage therapist, specializing in Thai Massage, Neuromuscular Therapy and Myo-skeletal Alignment Technique, she has a Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling, is certified in Redirecting Children’s Behavior as a facilitator and coach.
