Coffee this afternoon is with a slice of left-over birthday cake.
I’m looking out at the rain, there’s thunder not far away.
There’s a softness inside of me that’s been growing over the past few weeks.
The softening is an opening to new awarenesses, of love, of touch, of pleasure, of energy, of healing.
There’s been a softening in my heart, an opening there to a deeper place. I talk about expansion, and it’s actually an inpansion, an inward journey.
The expansion is on the opening, there is more space within me, in my body, in my mind, in my heart.
It’s interesting because that’s the phrase that almost everyone I’ve worked with in the last weeks is using, space.
When we soften, when we open, when we release, we make space, we move into space, within us, and around us. Inwards and outwards at the same time.
In this softness so many new understandings have come, about healing, love, life, touch, pleasure, intimacy, body.
So many new processes and practices have emerged.
And today, more.
Offering.
When we’re in that space, as healers, as facilitators, as explorers, as sharers, and as lovers.
When we’re open, when our hearts are open, when we’re in the space of intimacy with ourselves, with life, when life can flow through us.
We offer ourselves.
We offer our hands, our breath, our words, our touch, we offer ourselves as instruments, channels, for something to flow.
If it flows from us it flows from a higher mind, from an open heart.
If it flows through us it flows from Mystery.
Maybe it’s both.
And maybe it’s us becoming Mystery, at one. It’s a space of deeper consciousness.
And I’ve seen how it takes me beyond technique, beyond format, into an intuition, a knowing.
The voice is mine, and at the same time it’s coming from somewhere else inside me.
The touch is mine, and at the same time it’s more than my hands.
The breath is mine, and at the same time I’m being breathed.
For a long time I’ve seen how learning massage, and the other practices, becomes such an important part of healing journeys.
I’ve seen how much people learn about themselves through doing this, how connected they feel, to themselves and others. How much they come to see their own inhibitions, blockages and withholds, how much of a story they cling to about bodies, pleasure, sharing, intimacy.
And how much they’re able to release through doing it.
Today I saw deeper into that, and experienced in a way I never have, with conscious awareness, of this is a space of spirit.
I see in this how, with that awareness, the pleasure we experience with a lover will deepen, heighten incredibly.
When I offer myself.
When I offer myself to you, my touch, my mouth, my body, my lingam, my heart, my eyes, my words…every part of me, for your pleasure.
The consciousness of that, the ritual of that, the words of that, open the space between us for us to go where we’ve never been before.
When we open ourselves in this way, it becomes prayer, it becomes worship.
Our bodies, our words, our touch becomes an expression of the sacred.
Something happens inside of us in that space, it’s healing, it’s love, it’s connection to spirit.
I talk a lot about possibility, about how limitless we are, how sensation and feeling have no end.
I’ve seen that so much in these past weeks.
I love how after more than 20 years of this I’m learning more than ever.
I am so deeply grateful for this, and for everyone who’s shared the space with me, and helped me learn, see, feel, understand more.
I love the possibilities of sharing this with you.
When we find new perspectives on what we do, on how we do it, in the healing space, and the love space, it keeps us connected, interested.
It brings us into greater presence, with ourselves, with another, and with life.
The journey, and the practices become an expression of who we are.
The giving becomes the receiving, the teaching becomes the learning.
Endlessly.
Whether you’re a practitioner, a lover, on a journey, wherever you are, I see how this path has so much to offer.
The timing of this is fascinating.
For the first time since March I’m traveling to another city, to Cape Town, to share a series of workshops.
And I am so excited to be able to offer you these perspectives, and how we can use them, in healing, in love, in pleasure.
The workshop info is on my FB page, and website.
I’m also looking forward to sharing them on Thursday night’s webinar on Heart-Centred Sexuality.
What I experienced today takes that to an even deeper place.
Here’s the link for the webinar:
If you’ve been following me for a while you’ve seen the Coffee pieces, if you’re new to my work, welcome.
Coffee for me is often a time of inspiration, for my mind to wander, to drift into some interesting, delicious, sensual places.
The Coffee pieces are on my page, and last week I made a Coffee Video.
