Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - How to enjoy your body and celebrate the way it gloriously is.

How to enjoy your body blog So I’ve been ‘on the road’ for a month and a half, out of my usual workout regime. Some weeks I’ll hike three times, other weeks I’ll sit on my cute ass in a cabin and write. I haven’t pole danced in over TWO MONTHS and I think I’ve put on about 3 pounds… not huge, but my jeans are tight.


We each have our own relationship with our body, whether we’re an elite athlete or carrying 50+ pounds… and given I started my relationship with my body hating it, scrutinizing it, taking laxatives, poking, prodding and finding fault with EVERY glance in the mirror, unable to sit relaxed with friends for worry I would let go of sucking in my belly… NOW I am super grateful to make friends with my few extra pounds.


I enjoy my body by wearing clothes that it feels sexy in… if the jeans are tight then it must mean the boobs are looking fab so I shift to a tight top and a flowing skirt. I talk to my body and this morning I honestly asked it if it’s at it’s ideal weight to feel vibrant alive and energized. It got heavy, contractive which means no.


So I began to lovingly ask it questions as if it’s a puppy that I’ve ignored a bit… Do you like the clothes I dress you in, love? Yes. Would you like me to eat less, sweetness? No. Would you like me to drink less alcohol? No. Drink more water, love? Yes? Exercise more, gorgeous? Yes. Do you like the exercise I’ve been doing? Yes. Just more often? Yes. Would you like more sex, you sexy thing? Yes. Even if it’s by myself? Yes. Are you holding onto weight because you’re feeling attacked, scared, in hiding? No. I just need to move your cuteness more often? Big YES.


So that’s just an example of how I speak to my body. I don’t assume I know what it needs. I ask. I address it with kindness and cute names to show I care. I get curious about what it requires and trust it when I order from menu’s or go grocery shopping. I am not Paleo, Vegan or Raw… yet for weeks at a time my body asks for those types of eating, so I give it what it wants.

It always wants chocolate. Just sayin’…


I literally ask it what it wants to wear, if it wants to have sex with someone or not, (if it will get pregnant or not) if it wants to work with a prospective client or not, where it wants to travel to next, if it wants to sleep in or get up and move…it’s become my best friend and the cool thing is that it responds without me having to really watch my weight.


I also haven’t had to go to the doctor. My body CLEARLY made it’s point to me with changing my living/custody situation this past spring with a huge painful shingles breakout before I took action and went to my lawyers to create a new parenting plan. The VERY next morning after taking action on that the inflammation was GONE.


Also curiously, I’ve been dealing with adult acne for ten years (been married to my ex for one year and divorced 9) and since I changed the custody situation, my skin is virtually clear and these people I just met said they thought I was 35 (i’m 43). Treating ourselves and our lives as the most precious treasures imaginable… DOES reflect in our body with vitality, clear skin, weight loss and youthful zest.


So what’s the benefit of berating your bod? None as far as I see it. Yet what’s the benefit of making friends, taking ‘nice’, asking questions and taking actions that honor your bodacious’ness? Skies the limit.

  Seeing Only Red in a Sea of Blue   In my talks, I often play this game with the audience. I ask them to look around the room and count how many red shirts there are. After half-a-minute, I tell them to close their eyes. I ask them, “Are you ready with your answer?” They all reply with a resounding yes. Then I ask them, “Okay. How many blue shirts did you see?” They burst out laughing. And they try to guess. But no one gets the right answer. Why? Because they weren’t focused on the blue shirts but on the red. The point of this little exercise is to show them that every reality, every situation, every circumstance always has many sides. But we only see one side! Always.   You’re Not a Grasshopper   Let me tell you one of my all-time favorite stories in the Bible. The Israelites who escaped Egypt (think “Ten Commandments” with Charlton Heston) were now at the edge of the Promised Land. Not knowing what it was like, they sent 12 spies to scout the land i...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - To MILF or not to MILF this Mothers Day

I don’t know if you have those to-do piles that just sit there, you WANT to get to them, you MEAN to get to them, and you OUGHT to get to them… while this video was in one of those piles. It took less than 10 minutes to do. Why did I put it off? Well if you’re like me, we only procrastinate with things we either don’t really want to do, or doing them will make us have to face something we’re not ready to face, internally or externally. We’re literally choosing not to face it and calling it procrastination. So I guess I didn’t want to face/own being a MILF. Really owning my badass queen Harley boots, pole dancing, MILF essence. I don’t even know what I’ve really made it all mean… just that I’m WAY more potent than I realize and my erotic creature is WAY overdue coming out to play, to create adventures, to embrace life and to shine!! So you know I call my women’s membership Redefining Sexuality , because I sure don’t care for the definition of sex or sexy… it’s void of honor, care and ...
