Greetings earthlings! I am back in the saddle, looking great and feeling great. The week before last I went on what was the commencement of a 6 month long journey, and it got me to thinking about spiritual femdom. Does spirituality play a role in BDSM? I certainly think it does! This is much more of a personal post than just about femdom, but I hope that you glean something from my sharing it, and understand why it was so important to me.
Spiritual Femdom
Being in a D/s relationship with either a partner or your Mistress can be a very intimate, spiritual experience. For some submissives, losing control is an outlet of release for them, and a way to relieve stress. For me personally, spirituality is infused in every part of my life, including work and play. I only do things that I enjoy – that includes work – and I only engage in topics and fantasies with my callers that both of us will enjoy. It’s important for both parties to be happy with their experience, and it’s important for me to be at peace, and happy with all aspects of my life experience. I embarked on a very personal spiritual journey, that took six months to complete. During that journey there were times when I felt like I was going through hell on earth. It was not until the end of the program I signed up for, and graduated from, that I realized that this was my trial period, and that everything I went through was not only my calling but a blessing. I learned about not only standing up for myself, but about self sabotage and how to clear all the negative energy from my space and with that, people and things that do not serve me. That meant cutting a lot of people off, as well as ending relationships with bad habits. It’s an ongoing process. But also being a dominant woman, and dealing with callers on a regular basis, it taught me that while they are here to serve me, I am also – in a sense – serving them, and wanting to give them the experience they are calling for.
Is Miss Brighton More Zen Now?
I have always been more zen than most, but I also know that I have room for work in all areas. I do not ever feel like I’m better than someone, no matter what situation I’m in, but I do know that there is no one like me, because there’s only one Brighton. With that said, yes, I am mostly zen, but I will still tell you to go fuck yourself. Yes, there are days when I want to throat chop people, yes there are days when I do bitch about something, but I also know how to release it so that it doesn’t kill me. I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t, and I am pleasant most days, because I know all too well my dark side, which is blunt, savage, and a raging bitch when angry. Being a peace loving creature doesn’t mean you let people step all over you. Just like in martial arts, you don’t learn martial arts to run around beating the crap out of people for no reason. It’s a lesson in centering and watching your mind and making sure those thoughts don’t turn into a shitstorm you created, and also yes, you learn self defense. I do not walk around cursing people out and clubbing them over the head with fold up chairs (while the visual does amuse me), in most cases as long as you don’t fuck with me, I leave you alone too. But this applies to all aspects of femdom: learning how to talk to people, respecting and being assertive in your boundaries, holding space for your sub, and clearing and cleansing your space for you and your client so that you’re not carrying around any energy that would not be good for either of you.
Funny Moments And That Yoga Instructor
Noteworthy: Yes he was hot, he was hung, we talked in depth before he fucked my brains out, and he has a lot of respect for me and what I do. My cuckold boy toy made a couple of “Namaste” and “downward facing dog” jokes when I told him about my desert shenanigans, but he too was very happy that I – who has never completed anything in my life, school related, aside from grade school – did this, followed through on it, and came out the other end a better person. Trust me, he saw all of my “I cried but I did the thing anyway” moments, and I had plenty! I make male friends very easily (can’t you tell?) but the thing I loved about this trip was (no… not just getting my brains fucked out), the sisterhood that has been missing in my life, and learning to trust women again. I can’t tell you how many times my sisterhood circle passed around the kleenex box when we finally all met up, and how many of us had those deep rooted trust issues with women. So… now you know why Brighton is so good at making men friends, and something personal about me that you probably didn’t know. There’s a lot of us – I think – that are starving for that lost sisterhood, and it’s heartbreaking, but I think it’s time for that to change. Because if anything, I think being a better sister to your fellow domme’s helps more than it hurts.
Showing Up And Being Present
We all have things in life that distract us, but one of my pet peeves is having a one sided conversation with someone who is distracted, not paying attention, can’t tell me or articulate what they want, or doing five thousand things while talking to me. If I did that to a caller they wouldn’t be calling me anymore. And I’m not saying I’m perfect, I’m just saying that if I am doing my best to serve as your Dominant, then I expect you to bring your A game as my sub. I also offer phone sex meditation for those who need an inner self cleanse. Ready to have a spiritual femdom, come to Jesus moment with yours truly? Call me at 1-800-601-6975 and ask for Brighton.

I think femdom is very spiritual, at least it is for me. I think it’s important to establish deep connections with your submissives, and to do that you have to have a deep connection to yourself. We’re all hungry for intimacy, and our subs need us to see them more naked than naked and accept them as they are–and then make them squirm! 😉
Very true Piper, it’s much more fun when you’re centered and your naked subs are squirming!
