No! 

You´re perfect just as you are. 

The pleasure of sensuality is your birthright regardless of your:

• Body shape
• Weight
• Age

Why?

Because pleasure is for a lifetime!

Sometimes Candia Raquel is skinny, others chubby.

Now is 20 years older than when she started.

You can see how she´ve changed on Centro De Poder´s YouTube Channel.

Sensuality is about sensing your own pleasure and taking OWNERSHIP of your experience.

This is not about looking like an Instagram Influencer/Teacher so you feel deserving of pleasure. Or achieving X, Y, Z, goals to deserve pleasure. The paradox is that in striving you loose sensitivity of yourself and become numb.

Pleasure is a given. Pleasure is how being alive feels like. But can you feel it?

This is the only thing that maters here:

How you feel.

Sensuality is about you feeling good.

Sensuality here means sensing pleasure through your senses and expressing your pleasure through movement in a way that is completely free from inhibition.

Pleasure is anything that instinctively feels good. 

When you were a baby you spitted out what didn´t feel good and delighted in what felt good.

Pleasure is opposite to pain in that pleasure is a signal of health whereas pain is a signal of disease. You force yourself eating a rotten stinky moss mushy apple and you´ll end up with stomachache. You eat an exquisite ripe mango and you´ll get nourished as you´ve instinctively have chosen it at it´s most nutritious. 

Sometimes pleasure feels like fireworks and that´s what we´re mostly being sold.

Most pleasure is nuanced. The pleasure of breathing, of the blooming roses fragrance on the side walk, the caress of our eyelids at every blink, the warm saliva lakes beneath the tong.

But we´re so chronically tense that we miss pleasure. We feel we don´t deserve pleasure so we overwork ourselves to illness.

Pleasure is how health feels like.

Pleasure is simple.

Pleasure is your birthright—claim it!

Sensuality and sexuality pair perfectly but they are not the same.

The difference is that in sexuality the specific physiology of arousal is present. There´s a change of blood flow and tone in the genitals and a specific brain chemistry operating.

Sensuality is merely about the physical experience of pleasure. From the cozy taste of warm chocolate and the soft fabric of your sweater to the pleasure a mother and a baby feel breastfeeding. Even sliding your fingertips on the soft touchscreen of your phone can be sensual as long as you experience pleasure. 

Sensuality is non-sexual. 

Sexuality often happens without pleasure and shouldn´t (unless you´re into it).

There´s no formal education on pleasure we got at school nor at the enlightened household of our parents.

Most education we get is through the culture of overworking and getting productized pleasure.

We get the message that we´ll get pleasure once we get the boat, the brunch, the bank account—and the babe.

So when you´re finally with the babe at that glorious piece of furniture named "the bed". You´re gonna do what you can. 

Problem is that as anything that´s not used in the body, sensual pleasure awareness gets atrophied—you become numb to pleasure.

The thing is to awaken sensuality as you go on doing your everyday life activities and live a life of pleasure. Right from wiggling your toes in your cozy sheets as you wake up, feeling the glutes as you walk to the shower, the soap sliding on your skin, getting dressed with clothes hugging you, savoring your breakfast and so on. 

This way you´ll already be in the sensual experience of pleasure when the sexual arousal of the encounter comes.

This to say that pelvic floor, glutes, breathing and more anatomical aspects of the "Centro De Poder" are studied in depth here. But genital anatomy, physiology of arousal and sexuality practices are not. If you have a specific concern on sexuality the recommendation is that you work privately with a licensed medical practitioner, not an esoteric guru, because sexuality is outmost singular and delicate.

If you need help with pleasure in general, you´re in the best place of the world!

Centro De Poder´s approach is 100% anatomical.

Centro De Poder´s approach to sensuality is not superficial—it´s REAL.

• No using drugs
• No weight loosing
• No body shape fitness
• No a shaman doing it for you
• No wanting to be younger
• No external approval seeking
• No trying to be better, faster, stronger
• No pretending you´re a goddess or anything not real
• No self-brainwashing with affirmations
• No getting into the latex corset costume
• No using sensuality to make money

Telling you to change in order to deserve pleasure would be disrespectful.

Sensuality is about deepening in the pleasure of being alive in your flesh.

Centro De Poder® is the brand that Candia Raquel founded.

Centro De Poder means center of power in spanish. 

It refers to the center of the body where the center of gravity is located in front of the Sacrum, the sacred bone. Where life began. 

Candia Raquel´s background in Graham Technique influenced her teaching approach on beginning the movement from the pelvis. 

Pilates, Yoga, Vajrayana Meditation and Martial Arts also use this powerful approach of moving from the center of power.

Moving from the center of power has been proven effective to awaken sensual pleasure. Give it a try!
