THE HUNGER OF THE AWAKE AND CONSCIOUS TOUCH

It is such a beautiful and powerful thing to see the hunger for touch, conscious touch, awaken within a woman.
It is such a beautiful and powerful thing to see the hunger for pleasure, conscious pleasure, awaken within a woman.
It is such a beautiful and powerful thing to see the hunger for energy, the conscious energy of pleasure, to awaken within a woman.
It is such a beautiful and powerful thing to see this portal open.

So much of my world, so much of my work, is in touch, and over the years it’s amazing how we don’t really know how to touch.
To touch in a way that’s an expression of our hearts, an expression of love.
To touch in a way that communicates presence.
To touch in a way that creates safety, the safety for openness, the safety for vulnerability, the safety that invites us to release, to let go, to feel.
The safety that is the first step to the higher experiences of pleasure.
The safety that allows the tension, the contraction, the tightness we’ve held for so long, to begin to unfurl, unravel, unwind.
The safety that begins to allow our bodies to stretch, to expand into space, as if awakening from sleep.
The safety of touch that asks for nothing.
The safety of touch that has no agenda.
The safety of touch that invites.

I’ve heard so often, seen so much, how partners, lovers, don’t really enjoy, let alone, savour and crave each other’s touch.
I’ve seen and heard so often, how ‘I know what he wants from the first touch. And often what a turn-off this is.’
I’ve seen and heard, so often, we don’t touch unless it’s for sex.
I’ve seen and heard, so often, that when we don’t touch, how our intimacy melts away and disappears into a feeling of aloneness.

The awakening of touch, to touch, is in and for men and women.
For it can’t be awakened other than a place of awakening.
What does that mean?
To awaken that within another, it has to come from a place of awareness within me that expresses the qualities of conscious touch.
And so it’s a journey, an inner journey, that becomes an outer journey.
That takes me back into myself, to share even more with you.
I’ve long said that touch is a teacher.
And when we learn to listen, it becomes the most amazing guide.

From that awakening, in that awakening, touch becomes an energy that offers so much.
Healing, releasing, softening, opening.
Through the body, emotions, hurts we’ve held inside of us, in our muscles, our tissues, our joints, our nerves, our bones, our blood.
Through the body, the tightness of disconnect from feeling.
Through the body, the blockages to peace, to presence, and then more, to ecstasy and bliss.

And when we speak of this touch, we must speak of pleasure.
Not in the narrow, orgasm-driven, friction touch.
Rather the touch is an element of the art of pleasure.
The touch that knows these ways.
The touch that is slow, that knows how to build the fire, the inferno of pleasure.
That touch that takes time, that doesn’t rush, that doesn’t pressure, that doesn’t force.
The touch that listens, that hears, that guides.
The touch that allows conscious pleasure, that is pleasure, then flows into something deeper, most use the word sacred.
The touch that expands consciousness.

To touch as love.
To touch as an expression of love.
To touch as prayer, on the altar of your body.
To touch as the ritual of communion.
To touch as art, using sensation to create an exquisite experience on the canvas of your body.
To touch as the elements, the fire, the earth, the wind, the water.
And to be held in the ether of touch, the space that holds everything, the space within us, between us, in this point of conscious contact.

This is the journey that touch offers us.
This is the path that touch invites us onto, invites our hearts, our bodies, our minds.
Awakening through touch.

I invite you…
