Reading? ​In the Nude?! 

Never had I imagined that reading in the nude just five years ago for the International Read Naked Movement would've drawn such exposure to the essential desires for those of us sapiosexual bibliophile's in the world to come together and read naked for the sake of literacy right here in my creative headquarters that I lovingly call home. 

But yet here we are, my dear friends, and even those who brought lover's along side them to bare it all and to curl up together with a much needed good book to keep this nation from downward spiraling into ignorance and an existence that lack's intellectualism. 

The most inspiring aspects that have come forth from this profound holiday for those of libertine's who relish a good tale as much as we relish a new lover is the fact that 2 years waiting now, we've (Joie De Vivre of The Valley Burlesque Society & I) to debut our very own Naked Reading Salon right here in the center of Fresno!

Along with a bevy of beauties who also want to take off their clothes and read in public for we all know by now we can't spell Literature without T&A! 

As you can see from my friend's selections this year as well as my own that it really doesn't matter what you read as long as you're reading in the nude on July 5th and celebrating it worldwide that's all that truly matters, but let's take a look back to see what I read for the past four years now as well as my featured selection for this year's 5 year anniversary holiday of reading in the nude! 

Year One:
Russell Brand's "My Booky Wook" 

Year Two:
Jon Stuart's "America" 

Year Three: 
A.N. Onomis' "The History & Arts of The Dominatrix" 

Year Four: 
A.N. Roquelaure's "Beauty's Kingdom" 

Year Five: 
Anne Rice's "Prince Lestat" 

​
For more curious answers to your questions about why I chose my favorite author's latest book as this year's selection as well as why my sexy guests chose theirs; keep reading and you'll find answers to so many carnal questions about reading naked in the featured sections below. As well as how you can be involved in next year's holiday celebrations while joining the movement. 

Who know's maybe next year, you and/or your lover as well as the rest of this grand gang of sexy readers will be eager enough to take it off together and take a group photo of us all indulging in the sinfully delicious, always thought provoking world of those who love to read;
​Naked.

The Origins of Reading Naked: 

​Read in the raw.
For centuries, being able to read was a mark of privilege and progress.  Those who could read were held in high regard.  Being able to devour books and literature at your leisure was set aside for the upper classes.  Sometimes, even owning books was dangerous and could get you killed.

As time marched on, literacy became more and more prevalent until now we take the that very skill for granted.  As a culture, we no longer savor reading.  We no longer touch it with our whole bodies.  At best, we may read in passing, at as high a speed as we use our social media.  Any “literature” longer than 140 characters might as well be War and Peace assigned by a teacher that hates us.

What a shame!  Reading is a sensual, ritual experience – or at least it should be.  We should set aside time, set the stage, treat books like lovers…

That’s why we, the international literary salon Naked Girls Reading, have decide to make July 5th READ NAKED DAY  Join us in removing the obstacles that hinder your freedom to read as a ritual.  Doff your clothing on July 5th and get in touch with one of the most powerful forces in history – the reading of the written word.

We invite you to take part by simply reading naked.  That’s it.  If you’d like to be even more involved in bringing focus back to the ritual of reading BECOME A READ WARRIOR and help us get the word out.  Start a naked book club.  Get your local books stores involved.  Because if there’s one thing we at Naked Girls Reading know for sure:

You Can't Spell Literature ​without T&A!

Can't Keep it To Yourself? Good! Neither Can We! ​​

​Become a F-READ-OM FIGHTER and fight for the cause!  You could go down in history as  a naked Joan of Arc (but hopefully less crazy) fighting with fanaticism to make sure our culture doesn’t forget about the ritual of reading.

F-READ-OM FIGHTERS are eligible for a packet of fun materials including a Read Naked Day poster, bookmark, 8×10 of Michelle L’amour, a ticket to a Naked Girls Reading event and more.

Writing a READ NAKED DAY theme song?
Have an idea for a press stunt?  Could bring new meaning to the term flash mob.
Starting a READ NAKED book club? Watch out Oprah.
Whatever your idea, let us know and we could confer upon you the title of READ WARRIOR.

Are You Ready to Take the Pledge?! 

​Taking the pledge is easy.  
Just follow these simple steps:


1.) Grab your favorite book a real, tangible book – no e-books!
2.) Take off your clothes
3.) Place your right hand on your favorite book and say the following:

“I understand that reading is a ritual that is important for the sensual and intellectual development of the human race. 

 I believe in the importance and tangibility of this ritual and will show my level of belief by setting aside time on July 5th to celebrate in my own way, but which will absolutely involve the removal of my clothing and the reading of a book.  
​

I pledge to uphold Read Naked Day as sacred and encourage those I know to do the same.”

The Naked Reading Movement is Expanding Worldwide!

​​As you can imagine, when you take off your clothes you make friends.  The first International Read Naked Day (2013) was such a success that made plenty.  Naked readers from all over the world joined us to celebrate the ritual of reading.

We’d like to feature a few of our fellow F-READ-OM FIGHTERS here:

Our Chosen Naked Reading Selections: 

Bella BloodLust's Selection: 

Picture

Anne Rice's "Prince Lestat" 

The linked article above will confess so passionately just how in love I truly am with not only this book but the entire series of The Vampire Chronicles by the infamous Anne Rice. It's no secret now that The Brat Prince has risen from the undead to reveal to her devoted and life long reader's not only secrets and unsolved mysteries that we've been pining for for centuries now it seems but to those of us who never knew so many otherworldly tales of our favorite vampires this book alone is worth it's wait in immortal gold. 

I've been reading these books since high school and fell in love with the film Interview with a Vampire at the tender age of 5. I must admit that it's directed the course of my entire existence in this lifetime and still to this day, reading anything from Prince Lestat himself, feels truly like catching up with an old friend. Or over a dozen of vampire lovers who are nestled in between these carnal pages along with the endless nostalgia of so many years spent adorned in black and immersed in this gothic world. As you can see by the Ankh of Isis that adorns my neck for feeders everywhere, not much has changed; hell I even created the name Bella BloodLust in loving memory of these vampires and oh so many others who have impacted my life and imparted the deep seeded wisdom of life, death, the afterlife and for those of us immortals still left wandering around on this plane of existence; rebirth. 

People have asked me all too often "Why do you read in the Nude?" to which my response will eternally be... "Why not? Have you tried it yet?" It isn't until after they take my libertine advice do they see the calming, soothing and sensual ambiance that is relished in along with falling captive to some far off or wonderous place in each book that I temporarily call, home. 

It's been such a rush reading in the buff now for over five years and celebrating with the movement founders and co-creator's as well as having so many of you on board now to join in the intellectual and liberated fun. This is not the end of this sexy journey for that I assure you will only get better and more creatively connected over the coming years from Burlesque Naked Reading Salon's that we're on the wait list for, to quite possibly a Naked Reading Book Club that will meet quarterly to peruse pages in the nude and to catch up on an aspect of life in the buff that most only indulge in these old world days in far off places like Europe.

Wolfey's Selection's:

 Pin Up: The Illegitimate Art by Jim Silke &
Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin

"I chose the book that i did, only because its outside caught my interest. As they say though never judge a book by its cover. Sadly that's what most of society tends to do in this day and age.
But as I cracked it open to reveal its contents even though it was the middle of the book itself; the first few sentences I read were quit captivating and just caught my eye at a first glance.
The reason for doing this photo shot was because i felt like that now a days, society is out of tune with this beautiful form of art that we call literacy. And we really need to get back into it; but sadly people seem to be so wrapped up in modern day technology that it feels as if people are against it and uncomfortable with picking up a book now, just like nudity.
It's a form of art and beauty not something to be ashamed of. So strip down pick up a book and read till your heart is content."

Carla Perez's Selection:

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

"​I enjoy reading about books on crime,mystery and murder.
Gone Girl is by far one of the most mind bending books that I've read.
I love to get lost for hours into a book, but one thing that's a must is assuring that I'm comfortable and in a clean environment. For myself personally that means I enjoy reading in a clean space with pillows, after a cold shower and just read in the nude.
It's such a personal, sensual and one of the most therapeutic feelings!"

Jessie Jame's Hollywood's Selection:

Spangle by Gary Jenning's 

"The book was Spangle by Gary Jennings.
I chose it because it's one of my top 5 and I think that more people need to read Jennings' work. He's a fabulous and under appreciated author.
Spangle is a brilliant tale of the circus and the world post American civil war.
READ."

A Nude Reading Salon is Coming to Fresno! 

After posting my previous year's article about celebrating International Nude Reading Day, the endless accolades and sapiosexual stirs turned from whispers into a clamoring for our very own Fresno Salon Chapter! 

I'm more than elated to announce that Joie De Vivre co-originator and co-chairwoman of The Valley Burlesque Society 
was more than inspired and asked moi if I would be interested  to start our own Nude Reading Chapter right here in Fresno, before I could type my answer I was already Cheshire Cat smiling from ear to ear. 

"YES! Let's Do This!"
"We can Eventually Host Book Loving Burlesque Shows to Inspire New Libertines to Join!" 


So Needless to say Bella BloodLust & Joie De Vivre have already been added to the waitlist, as soon as we're contacted not only will Fresno & Tower District have a sexy new crew of intelligent book lovers to share time and space with but what we have planned with have to stay hush-hush for now, like the last few pages of a salaciously good book we can't spoil the rest of our surprise! 

So capture that enchanting novel that you just can't keep your prying eyes away from, clothes are definitely not required or even allowed in this libertine holiday, and don't be afraid to include lovers in this erotic of intellectual holidays, nothing is quite as sexy as seeing two love birds in their birthday suits cuddling over an erotic book that will inspire future adventures of afternoon delight.

​​Psst. A Cheeky Bonus Surprise 
For Sexually Liberated Readers:

After finding eternal inspiration from the John Waters Quote:
 "If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck em."

​I decided to channel creative ideas into a profound and insightful discussion about the importance of reading and the demise of culture and society due to our current society shunning such a sensual ritual pleasure, and in turn not only received standing ovations, endless accolades and laughter while displaying my thoughts for the entire world to view along with my professor, I couldn't be more than elated to share this stimulating presentation that you're more than welcome to share to further inspire the bibliophile revolution. 
And all this was written before a Trump Nation. *tsk tsk* You should've been reading.
I'm quite sure none of the above featured naked reading guests voted Republican.

What is Past Life Regression?


Past life regression therapy, (also known as “past life therapy,” or “regression therapy”), is based upon the premise that we are eternal beings who carry forward learning and experiences from one human lifetime to another. As eternal souls, we experience physical life on Earth in a series of human bodies/personalities. On a soul level, we choose each life as a means of learning the lessons we have set out for ourselves. Of course, some people believe we only live one human lifetime. In this case, the stories elicited by this therapeutic approach serve as marvelous symbolic metaphors for the issues and situations being faced in the present time. Whether uncovering “real” past lives or not, the approach has helped many people resolve issues and get past stuck points that were resistant to other approaches. In addition, it’s a fascinating way to experience other aspects of yourself and personality. 

Where Does This Practice Come From?

Past life regression is mentioned in the Upanishads of ancient India, but is discussed in greater detail in the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali. Writing during the second century BC, the Hindu scholar Patañjali discussed the soul being burdened with an accumulation of impressions that were part of the karma from previous lives. Patañjali called the process of past life regression, prati-prasav (literally "reverse birthing"), and involved addressing current problems through memories of past lives. Prati-prasav is used today as a practice in some types of yoga. In the religious mythology of China, souls are prevented from remembering their past lives by the deity Meng Po, also known as the "Lady of Forgetfullness", who gives them a bittersweet drink that erases all memories before they climb the wheel of reincarnation. More commonly known in the modern day ages is Edgar Cayce who made it his life's work to not only understand how to utilize and aid others with access to The Akashic Records but to also help cure and save thousands of people from illnesses and diseases which he diagnosed entirely through channeling, his life's work is still available to access through online libraries and his work is still held in The Edgar Cayce Museum where every document can still be examined for spiritualists of all backgrounds.

Why Try Past Life Regression?

The first time I experienced Past Life Regression Therapy was by far the most profound, I found out many reasons as to what my fears and phobias were, my unexplained fear of spiders that left me crawling up the walls, my 'irrational' fear of people touching my neck, so many past lives came up and I was able to clearly see and consciously relive each and every moment in vivid detail, to now live a life where I can live harmoniously without these fears and many other personal problems that this form of therapy helps alleviate. 
This type of therapy can be done over the phone or in person and is truly life changing for those that have experienced it.

A Lifetime Series Report ​

         Some clients are a bit apprehensive at first with trying a Past Life Regression Session which entails hypnotism, some people have an innate fear of being 'put under' even though hypnotism is very different from the perceptions inspired by Hollywood and other forms of media, perhaps you'll feel more suited for it after we've met and you feel more comfortable but until then it is more than understandable if you're new to exploring the metaphysical world that you'd rather have Psychic Bella pull information from the Akashic Records for Past Life information instead of experiencing it first hand in a Past Life Regression Session.
