Sexual sickness is a big taboo, and people who suffer from it are at a loss to describe it, much less heal what’s ailing them. Amrita Grace embraced her own sexual addiction to heal herself, then wrote about the process in her book Reclaiming Aphrodite. Now she shares her experience to help others overcome their own issues. In the book, Grace says she was sexually molested as a young girl and then spent 20 years in terrible relationships. She details her journey to wellness with personal stories and philosophies.
“My motto is ‘Empowering Women From the Inside Out,’ and my intention is to give people the tools and practices that they can use to access their own inner wisdom and authority without needing to seek it outside of themselves, even if that means they never come to another one of my workshops,” says Grace. “I’m passionate about sovereignty and the idea that we are each whole beings, and when we bring that to a relationship, it pretty much eliminates most of the co-dependency, power struggle and drama. I also believe that we are the creators of our lives, through the choices we make, whether they are fully conscious or not.”
Her next free talk comes up on Feb. 17 at the Temple of Peace, and her book is available as a free download at Reclaimingaphrodite.com.
“My ideal client is a woman who has some sexual dis-empowerment, shame, abuse or wounding in her past, and who is ready to clear that away so that she can draw in healthy relationships,” she says. “She has tried therapy, various spiritual paths, and all kinds of healing work, but remains stuck around the area of her sexuality. She has the energy, time, and money to invest in a program of deep introspection and is ready and willing to face difficult emotions that she has been stuffing away for most of her life.”
