THE BODY, MIND, HEART, TOUCH OF HEALING AND GROWTH

All my life I’ve been fascinated by the connection between the mind and the body, thoughts and feelings, the spiritual and the corporeal, energy.. 

How this connection expands into the heart, intuition, our sexual centres, the wisdom of the body.

How they connect, how we heal and grow, how we learn in them, with them, through them.

It can’t ever be a question of one or the other.

On this journey, of healing, growth and experience, they’re so entwined within us, if we ignore, suppress, repress one, we’re doing less than half of what we need.

FROM TIGHTNESS TO LIGHTNESS, IN HEART TOUCH

There is, within so many of us, a tightness, a tension, a contraction.

It’s been there for so long, we don’t even know it’s there.

It’s been there for so long, it’s become who we are.

It’s a tightness of the body, a tightness of the mind, a tightness of the heart, a tightness of spirit.

It’s in our muscles, our bones, our joints.

It’s in our thoughts.

It’s in our feelings.

THERE IS GREAT RISK IN DEEP PLEASURE

There is a great risk in deep pleasure, in allowing ourselves to go to that place.

The place where we become one with another.

The place where we become one with life.

The place where we feel the Divine within us.

And in time, where we live as Divine.

The risk is that we reveal ourselves.

We allow ourselves to be seen.

INSIDE, TOO QUICKLY

Many women have been penetrated too quickly, often way before their bodies are ready to have something inside.
The impact of this is tension in the tissues of the yoni, often around and just inside the opening. This causes pain, particularly during penetration, whether it’s a finger or a cock.

YOUR OWN SEXUALITY

Your sexual intimacy is about you, it begins with you and it’s within you.

We’ve been conditioned to the idea that it’s outside of ourselves, about someone else, that we’re sexual and sensual beings when we’re in a relationship, when we’re having sex. And we tend to think about ourselves sexually in the act of self-pleasuring.

WE BYPASS INTIMACY WITH SEX

I was thinking about intimacy, sex, making love.
Often, for many of us, sex is a bypass of intimacy.
Orgasm is a bypass of intimacy.

THE S&X EXPO, MORE THAN PORN, PLASTIC AND PANTIES

This week in Cape Town something special is happening, The Sex Expo, and we are doing something special there, The Theatre of the Erotic.
I’ve been involved in this Expo since it began about 16 years ago.
I’ve watched the way it’s gone through many transitions and changes, ups and downs.
It has a special place inside of me, and I’ve always wanted to bring something to elevate the Expo, bring something more conscious, more erotic, more real, authentic.
Bring something more from the heart.

THE NURTURED COCK

For over 25 years on my journey into Conscious Sexuality I’ve been learning about men and male sexuality.
Firstly by going into my own Sexuality and sensuality, and then by spending so much time with men in a work space.
A great deal of this space has been helping men with sexual issues, love issues, intimacy issues.
I’ve worked with men who have lost their prostate through cancer, men who have lost relationships and marriages, men who struggle with sexual issues across the board.

THE POSSIBILITY OF HEALING, LOVE AND PLEASURE

In a few weeks we’re sharing some exciting live events at The Sex Expo in Cape Town, and then a week of workshops.

A while ago I received a letter from a man I shared some of this journey with.

I share it with you because so many of us have had similar situations in our lives, and so much of this has been painful, deeply painful. Sometimes to the point of relationships, marriages ending, families being broken up, and the cycle of this repeating through generations.

THE DELICIOUS AND FULFILLING PLEASURE OF FOOD AND SEX

I was thinking about food
I was thinking about sex
I was thinking about nourishment
I was thinking about nurturing

I was thinking about the kind of food we eat, the nourishment, or lack of nourishment we get.
The context we eat in, the way we eat.
And the kind of sex, sensuality, pleasure we have, the way we have it, and the context we have it in.

SACRED TEARS ON MY CHEST

Tears on my chest
Sacred tears.
I sat with a man in Yab-Yum, holding him, naked chest to naked chest, heart to heart.
We sat in stillness and breathed, coming into our bodies, softening into each other, into the warmth of our skins, into presence.
I began to rock him, to slowly move his body.

YONI PUJA, WORSHIP THE YONI, WORSHIP THE WOMAN

A Puja is an experience, a ritual, a ceremony of worship.
A Puja is an offering.
The Yoni Puja is the ritual of worshipping Yoni.
It’s a ritual of adoration to the Divine Yoni.
It’s a ritual of offering love to the Yoni.
It’s a ritual of worship of the body, of the heart, of your lover.

HOLDING, THE PLACE TO BE MET IN LOVE

From a place in my heart comes the ancient and sacred practice of holding, of resting my hands on your body.
In stillness, deep stillness.
In reverence.
In love.

THE HEALING RITUAL OF SACRED TOUCH

And she came and stood before the high priest and the acolytes.
I wish to know myself, she said.
I wish to know the spark of life within me.
I wish to know the source within me.
I wish to know the ecstasy I have felt within me.
I wish to know the pulsation I have felt within me.

THE POWER OF YOUR PLEASURE

‘It was actually overwhelming, the intensity, felt like a fire inside my belly.’
Very few women are aware of their sexual power, the energy that dwells inside.
Very few women allow themselves the opportunity to experience the fullness of this power.

MAKING LOVE WITH THE G-SPOT

As strong, as powerful, as much of a fire there is in your G-Spot, it’s also delicate, tender, soft.
The focus of this is healing and pleasure.
For healing, and for the pleasure to awaken, for the fire to burn high, there needs to be softness, there needs to be gentleness, there needs to be love.

THE SENSUALLY ALIVE GIFTS OF SELF-PLEASURING

So much of our sexuality
So much of our pleasure
So much of our intimacy
So much of our love
Is about the relationship we have with ourselves
It’s about the relationship with these aspects of ourselves
With our bodies
With our hearts
With our desire.

WHEN SEX BECOMES MORE ABOUT POSSIBILITY

Sex changed for me when it became more about energy.
Sex changed for me when it became more about intimacy and connection.
Sex changed for me when it became less about orgasm.
Sex changed for me when it became less about release.
Sex changed for me when it became less about ending.

HOW DO WE INTENSIFY THE MALE ORGASM

One of the aspects of our nature is to aspire, to expand, to seek.
It can be such a powerful part of who we are when it’s integrated into us with awareness.
One of the places, and ways, this expresses itself is in pleasure, in sensuality, in our sexuality.
In our seeking intensity, depth, expansion.
Searching the limitless realm of possibility.

THE COFFEE OF SAVOURING

I love it when a word opens a whole concept.
Savouring.
It’s taking a moment to savour.
In this moment, the coffee, the pastry, which is an almond croissant.
To savour the taste, the aroma, the texture.
The sounds around me, the feel of a breeze on my skin.

NAKED FREEDOM, NAKED PLEASURE

Naked freedom, naked sex.

Naked sex?

Isn’t all sex naked?

Most of the time, sometimes it’s partially clothed, sometimes it’s in a costume, sometimes it’s just pulling something down, pulling something aside.

And there’s more.

DISCOVERING YOUR SECRET SENSUAL SUPERPOWER

‘It’s like I’ve discovered a secret superpower.’

This is what a woman shared with me last week after learning some of the Self-Pleasuring practices.

‘I’ve found a way to feel more alive, have more energy.’

‘I’m moving differently, talking with more confidence.’

‘I can feel being in my body more, like it’s mine, I’ve never felt that before.’

A RITUAL OF SACRED SEXUALITY 

This is the ritual
In a sacred space we come together
Open bodies
Open hearts
Having prepared ourselves, we connect
Lover to lover

BETTER SEX, DIFFERENT SEX, AHH

I was thinking about something I get asked a lot.
How do we have better sex?

It’s something so many people talk about, and it’s something so many programmes and courses offer, including mine.
Better Sex.

MAKE LOVE AS ONLY YOU CAN

Make love as only you can.
Touch as only you can.
Open your heart as only you can.
Talk to your lover as only you can.

THE INTIMATE PRESENCE OF TOUCH

I’ve shared with you one of the cornerstones of my work, patterns.
Touch is a place where our patterns are very present, and keeps us from being present.

THE ABIDING POWER OF PRESENCE

One of the deepest, one of the most abiding, one of the most powerful, and one of the most intimate things we can offer each other is our presence.
It’s what so much of the teachings of Conscious Sexuality are about, presence.

FROM SEXUAL HEALING TO LIBERATION, WITH LOVE

I discovered that I loved having your hand on my throat, you squeezing …

I discovered that I liked being touched by 2 men…

I discovered that I like being spanked, and I loved the bruises afterwards…

I discovered that I loved another woman’s body…

Loving and Living Inside Pleasure

The way we generally experience pleasure is that it happens, it’s often done to us.
Or we’re doing it to someone else.
It’s often goal-oriented, about getting to a point.
It’s an act, it starts, it finishes, not always fulfillingly.

Pleasuring a Woman Pt 2

Of course it’s not orgasm vs pleasure, that was really just to get your attention.
And maybe not, maybe there’s something in that.

Here’s the way that many of us look at sex.
That it’s about a goal, the goal.
It’s about achieving.
It’s about performing.
It’s about making something happen.

Pleasing a Woman

A while ago at a gathering I was listening to a conversation between some young guys and a woman older than them. The conversation was about sex, some questions, it was flirty, and then one of the guys said, ‘I know how to please a woman.’

The Questions We Shouldn’t Ask

There are some questions we shouldn’t ask.
Because the answers make us uncomfortable, they make us squirm inside.
Because if we ask them we might have to do something about it.
Because if we ask them we bring certain things into the light of day, we acknowledge their existence, and maybe they’re best left unsaid.
Because if we ask them we might have to respond.

The Yoni Kiss

The way that most of us have sex is actually by doing sex.
And along the way we feel some things, sometimes intensely, sometimes not.
Sometimes we don’t feel too much because we’re focused on the end of the doing.
In fact, that’s what most of us have sex for, the end. Those few moments, brief moments of release more than anything else.
They’re not really moments of ecstasy, just the release we seek.

The Power of Being Sexual

The way that most of us have sex is actually by doing sex.
And along the way we feel some things, sometimes intensely, sometimes not.
Sometimes we don’t feel too much because we’re focused on the end of the doing.
In fact, that’s what most of us have sex for, the end. Those few moments, brief moments of release more than anything else.
They’re not really moments of ecstasy, just the release we seek.

Lessons in Sacred Sexuality 3

They sat in the twilight as the day darkened into the softness of night.
The waves were soft coming onto the beach and the whisper carried the sound to where they sat in peaceful quiet.
Their eyes met, and they breathed a sigh, a smile of knowing in this moment of intimacy. There was an energy in their gaze, palpable, as it met, was met.

Make Clitoral Love

I’ve been doing and teaching Yoni Massage for over 20 years.
In this time I’ve developed many different experiences.
Some are focused on healing, some on pleasure, some on energy, some on worship.
Sometimes those all come together in one experience, it’s never just one thing.

Hey Man, Slow Down!

One of the best things a man can learn about sex, about lovemaking, about touch, is not a technique.
We love techniques, and I’m glad we do because I teach lots of them.
But what we’ve done is that we’ve made the technique so important.
And the more techniques we know, the better lovers we think we’ll be.

The Deepening Mystery of the Yoni

The Yoni, Sacred Space, reveals mystery after mystery.
We know so much, there is so much to discover, so much to learn.
The body is the guide, the teacher, and the way in to deeper experiences, deeper spaces.
Through connection we access the wisdom of the body.
Through touch we learn the wisdom of the Yoni.

Lingam Healing, A Deep Practice

There is a deep practice of Lingam Healing, male healing, heart healing.
It’s a practice of presence.
It’s a practice of receiving, of being.
It’s a slow practice, it has very little movement.
It’s a practice of time, the time it takes each time, and the time it takes for a man to relax into it, to receive it.

Our Pleasure Capacity

Many of us yearn for deeper experiences, higher states, greater experiences of energy, of sensation and feeling.
And so we should, as that’s our potential, that’s our possibility.
To have these, to go to those places, there’s something to understand.
We can only go where our capacity allows us to go.
The capacity of our body, of our nervous system, of our emotions, of presence.

The Experience of 1000 Kisses

Going deeper into the body
Going deeper into intimacy
Going deeper into sensation
Going deeper into feeling
Going deeper into devotion
The Experience of 1000 Kisses

Taking Care

I was sharing a lesson on sensuality and intimacy with a couple recently and an important element of this came up.
Care.
To care for another.
To care about another.
To touch with care.
To kiss with care.

Intentional Sensual Massage

Intentional Sensual Massage is one of the most powerful, most consistent ways to have deeper pleasure experiences.
Intentional Sensual Massage is one of the most powerful ways to have pleasure experiences that become expanded states of consciousness.
Intentional Sensual Massage is one of the clearest ways to experience deep states of erotic and sexual energy.
