Meet Apollo: The God of Healing Light and Self-Acceptance
Apollo, one of the most iconic gods of Greek mythology, is known as the god of light, healing, and prophecy. His energy embodies the power of the sun—revealing what is hidden, shining warmth where there was coldness, and illuminating our truth. Apollo’s association with music and the arts also connects him to creative self-expression, which is essential in reclaiming our authentic selves, especially after experiences that cause shame or trauma.
In the realm of sexual healing, Apollo’s light can help us face and dissolve the shadows of shame and reclaim our authentic pleasure. Whether it’s releasing societal conditioning, letting go of the fear of expressing our desires, or simply wanting to feel more at home in our bodies, Apollo’s story offers guidance for moving into a space of truth, warmth, and pleasure.

Apollo’s Myth: Bringing Light to the Shadows
Apollo’s mythology revolves around the themes of illumination, healing, and speaking one’s truth. He is a deity who brings light to dark places, representing both the literal and metaphorical power of the sun. Apollo’s temple at Delphi was known for its prophetic oracles, where those seeking truth would come to hear messages from the divine.
In the context of sexual healing, Apollo’s myth represents the act of shining light on sexual shame and repressed desires. Many of us have grown up in environments where sex and pleasure were surrounded by taboos, judgment, and silence. This darkness often leads to feelings of shame, disconnection from the body, and a fear of embracing our true desires.
Apollo’s energy invites us to bring these shadows into the light—to speak our truth, to let go of the conditioning that keeps us in fear, and to embrace our authentic selves with warmth and acceptance.

3 Steps to Heal Sexual Shame and Reclaim Pleasure with Apollo’s Guidance
1. Shine Light on Your Shadows: Identifying Sexual Shame
The first step in working with Apollo’s energy is to shine light on the shadows—to identify and acknowledge the sources of sexual shame or repression. This requires honesty, courage, and a willingness to look at the beliefs and experiences that have been kept hidden.
How to Shine Light on Sexual Shame:
Write It Down: Take some time to reflect on any shame, fears, or limiting beliefs you hold around sex and pleasure. Write them down in a journal. These could be beliefs such as “I am not allowed to desire this” or “My body is not good enough.”
Speak It Aloud: Find a safe space where you can say these beliefs out loud. By giving voice to these thoughts, you are bringing them into the light. It could be in a trusted circle, with a therapist, or even in front of a mirror.

2. Embrace Your Truth: Reclaiming Your Authentic Desires
Once you have identified the shadows, the next step is to embrace your truth. Apollo’s energy is about self-expression and honesty—about reclaiming the parts of ourselves that we have hidden out of fear of judgment.
How to Embrace Your Truth:
Affirm Your Desires: Write down what you truly desire, without censoring yourself. This could include how you wish to express your sexuality, what types of touch you crave, or the fantasies you hold. Apollo’s light is about authenticity—embrace these desires as part of who you are.
Create an Expression Ritual: Use creative expression to bring your desires to life. This could mean dancing in a way that makes you feel sensual, painting or drawing what pleasure feels like to you, or writing a poem that celebrates your body and its sensations.

3. Warmth and Healing: Bringing Pleasure into the Body
Apollo’s light is also about warmth—about bringing a sense of comfort, healing, and pleasure into the body. For many people, sexual wounds can cause a disconnect from the physical body, making it difficult to experience pleasure fully. By inviting warmth and gentleness, you can begin to reconnect with your physical sensations.
How to Bring Pleasure into the Body:
Sunlight Meditation: Find a quiet space where you can sit comfortably in direct sunlight (or visualize sunlight if this isn’t possible). Close your eyes and imagine Apollo’s light warming your skin. Allow this warmth to flow through your entire body, releasing tension and inviting a sense of relaxation and pleasure.
Self-Massage: Use warm oil to gently massage your body, paying particular attention to areas that may hold tension or numbness. As you do this, imagine Apollo’s light entering your body through your hands, bringing warmth, healing, and connection.
