Last week I wrote in this column about how to heal emotional wounds by taking a page out of the book of kintsugi, a Japanese technique for fixing broken pottery. Hold the fragments of your broken heart together by spoiling and loving yourself to rebuild self-esteem and become strong again so as to pluck yourself from that emotional abyss.

One splendid way to dote on yourself is to celebrate your sexuality. A failed relationship often leaves us feeling shattered and abandoned, but do not let it take away your sexual power because it is yours to embrace, nurture, expand, and celebrate – with or without someone else.

Take ownership of this energy no matter what because it is brilliantly uplifting on many levels – physically, emotionally and spiritually. Never let cultural constraints make you feel shameful and undeserving of sexual confidence. Make efforts to tap into this marvellous energy and use it to open yourself up to other creative energy pathways for an all-round better life experience.

Understanding this sexual energy is a form of self-love that can help one experience a deeper dimension of sex beyond the physicality of sexual intercourse, says Valentina Tudose, a certified dating coach and relationship expert.

To unleash this sexual power, Tudose says we need to first overcome cultural hurdles that often view sexuality as a taboo, and accept that our sexuality is a very creative force when used correctly.
