Leveraging OPE (other people’s energy) for fame and fortune. The sexy issue.
Sexual energy is an energy you’ve got to work with.
Now you might look at me and say, “Well that’s easy for you to say, with your tight leather pants and lustrous man-rug bursting out of your satin shirt. But I’m just not that out there.”
But I’m drawing a distinction here between your sexual energy and your sexuality.
I am definitely not suggesting that you power up your sexuality as a tool. I am not the titan of business that I am today because I learnt how to shake my money maker.
What I’m talking about is your sexual energy. Your primal energy. Your vital life force.
The most direct experience most of us have with this energy is in the sex act itself, but that says more about our fuddy-duddy society than anything.
A fully switched on, expressive human is so confronting that we lock it away and say, “Save it for the bedroom, mate.”
But it’s a dynamic energy we need to activate.
Why?
Because people respond to it in a powerful way. Nothing is as attractive as being around someone in that kind of space. It’s called charisma.
Why? Because that kind of energy is infectious. If you don’t have that frigid instinct to shut it down, it’s a very activating energy to be in the presence of. It drops you into your own juicy drives. It’s inspiring.
It is just fun to be around.
And people who are activated by that kind of energy become very motivated. They want to see your projects succeed because they want to see you succeed. They want to see you succeed so you can keep feeding them the juice.
(Yes I do think we are sophisticated monkeys. Very sophisticated. But still monkeys.)
If this is true, and you know it is baby, how do we bring ourselves into this kind of activation?

No. Absolutely don’t do this. The absolute worst way to try and activate your sexual energy is to try and get your sexy on.
Ideally, sex (and sexiness) emerges as your sexual energy activates. Sexual intention ungrounded in this essential energy is just a bit creepy.
No, the right way to do it, is to come back into your sensual body.
As much as you can, give everything you do a home within your body.
Even if your vision is for stock-management app for shoe stores, if you are feeling that in your body, if you have a physical connection to your desires, your vision and where the project is going – if you get excited about it at a very physical level, then you will start to ‘light up’.
Most of us spend pretty much our entire lives in our heads. Our bodies are just these annoying things that we have to lump around and feed on a regular basis, and if we listen to them at all, all they’re saying is that there’s pain. Lot’s of pain. I can’t move my hips.
Pfft. Who needs that?
‘Connecting to the body’ is easier said than done. Depending on where you’re starting from, it can be a bit of a journey.
But I can give you one tip. Let yourself get excited. When something turns you on, grab a hold of it. Move with it. Dream into it. Lets it’s juice flow through you. Don’t think that you have to pretend to play it cool. Get excited.
When you turn on, you will turn other people on.
And then things get happening.
