Our Breasts Lead Us To Our Hearts
Our beautiful divine breasts are an outward, physical extension of our heart space and its unique essence. Nipples externalise the energy we foster within this divine space of the heart extending it, and our desires out into the world.
When we are both intimately and genuinely connected to our heart space we emanate love and compassion. We lead from the heart and create from the heart’s desires. We form a loving, reverent connection with ourselves, and with others.
“The more awareness we cultivate in the heart – the more we feel empowered and alive.“
When we say no to our hearts, consciously or subconsciously, and exclude this very intimate, real and raw expression of ourselves, forgiveness and compassion can instead make way for the expressions of resentment and/or grief.
All of us spend a lifetime continuously learning to love. Some of these lessons will be more difficult than others. When we have not yet mastered the lessons of love presented to us – resentment and grief come to meet us, more often than not directed at the person assigned to teach us this lesson or directed at ourselves. This can often be interpreted as not loving enough or not being loved enough. Love is infinite.
When we express from our hearts we find gratitude in the grief.
The Relationship we Have With Our Breasts Plays a Pivotal Role in Coming Back to Our Hearts and Embodying and Expressing Love
We have done so well in recent decades to understand and interpret the mind, heal the mind, and advocate for the mind. We have done so incredibly well at this, we have energetically severed ourselves from the neck down. Either through over-stimulation, numbing, shaming or forgetting. The more we feed and subscribe to disconnection, the more we signal to our bodies we are separate. Separate from mind, separate from spirit and separate from heart.
It is no wonder we find ourselves closed off, and often deeply challenged in finding our way back to the intricate depths, wonders and mysteries of the heart. These manifestations, these expressions of our heart make sense in today’s world and modern-day systems. In the way we live, and in the way we love.
While disconnection affects many parts of the body, our breasts play a significant role with our hearts. When we shame one part of ourselves, either through censorship or conditioning we send a signal excluding this part from the entirety of the body, causing separation. This is the danger behind censorship. Behind blurring nipples on social media and in magazines. Subconsciously it signals shame. Disassociation. We lose remembrance. Particularly of the most important and powerful portal to self and our essence.

Sensitive breast tissue and nipples have a rich supply of nerve endings. They are (or can be) highly pleasurable with sensual touch. However, overstimulation through non-mindful touch, tight clothing and bras and even breastfeeding can lead to desensitisation and numbing of the nipple.
I have recently been quite blown away by how common nipple numbness is and how often I hear women having next to no sensation in their nipples. I have always been highly sensitive in this area so it never struck me other women didn’t receive pleasure sensation here.
No sensation or the ability to connect to sensation doesn’t mean you’ll never have sensation or feeling here. It can return or be found. Through body awareness which can wake up the nervous system and nerve endings and enhance sensitivity, through feeling into and listening to the body, through loving and mindful touch, and rewriting pleasure pathways through experiences of expansive/relaxed arousal.
Devotional Touch for Breast Massage and Heart Connection
For many women, our breasts are regularly subjected to criticism, judgement and neglect. Breast massage is an honouring practice that sends love and reverence to the space, subconsciously sending messages of worth, love and care to our hearts. As well as pleasure (This goes for men too. The nipples are one of the most unexplored areas for men when it comes to pleasure, and it can often be a surprise to find sensitivity here.)
How to Give Yourself A Devotional Tantric Breast Massage:
Set the space and your intention. I like to create a sensory space which allows me to connect much deeper to my senses. Lighting, sounds and smell.
When I remove my top and my bra I do it very gently and intentionally. I sometimes find looking into a mirror is a wonderful practice. Witnessing myself in this expression of devotion to my body, my breasts and my heart.
You can use a lotion or an oil. You could add a couple of drops of essential oil to a carrier oil to support your intention and the space you will be working on. Energetically, rose oil is associated with the heart chakra/heart space.
Cup your hands gently and tenderly over your breasts. Take a deep breath down into your womb and let out any authentic sound or sigh. Do this 3 times.
As you breathe in and out, slowly bring movement to the very tip of your fingers.
Move your awareness to your breasts. What do you feel? What sensations are you experiencing here? Do this for as long as you require.
You can warm the oil in the palm of your hands or use an already (carefully and tested) heated oil. Move the hands back to your breast, cupping them gently.
Take a deep breath down into your womb and let out any authentic sound or sigh. Do this 3 times.
Slowly bring movement back to the tips of your fingers as you begin to move along the outside edge of the breast. Slow circles, breathing calmly in and out, while keeping your awareness here.
When it feels right you can begin to switch directions.
Be here now. Be with what is.
You may experience deep body sensations, perhaps emotions may present. Be with them and breathe and release to support the movement of energy.
Focus on the love, the massage is sending to your heart.
Focus on the nourishment, the massage is sending to your entire being.
When you feel it is enough come back to sillness. You can lightly tap the breasts to move anything else remaining.
Be gentle when you are removing your hands. Do so with care and tenderness. Give gratitude to both your breasts and yourself for this time of self-love and devotion.
