A while ago I wrote a piece about making love that said we can’t make love, love is there, we reveal it.
I came back to it this week in a different way, a deeper way.
Sensual Touch, in the way we do it, reveals the love that’s there within us.
It releases it.
It opens the channels for it to flow.
It reveals it.
The love is there, it always was.
Over time it was driven inside, hidden, covered, suppressed.
And it waits, with such longing, for us.
Let’s take a step back, 2 steps back.
When most of us hear ‘Making Love’, our minds go genital, sexual.
It’s become a euphemism for sex, and often it has nothing to do with love or intimacy.
Making Love, when you’ve had that experience of deep connection and union, you know what it is.
The next step back is Sensual Touch, and again so many of us go somewhere sexual.
The world of Sensual Touch is so vast and has such a range of experiences.
Conscious Sensual Touch is an expression of the heart.
It’s touch that sees the body, the connection, the experience, as sacred.
When we bring the intention of revealing love, of moving what’s in the way of love, of opening the door to love, something happens that’s in the realm of magic.
Love happens.
The love that’s there, inside of us, in our bodies, waiting, awakens, begins to pulsate, begins to enliven, begins to enlighten.
The desire of love to express itself In all its beautiful, powerful, delicious ways vibrates with joy.
In the softening of the body, in the deep relaxation of the body, is the opening of the body.
And we allow love.
Love meets us in the touch, is met in the touch.
And we reveal love.
The masks drop, the armour falls away, the walls crumble.
The body knows, the heart knows.
And we see it.
We see a face that’s open.
Once you’ve seen that, you know it,
The nature of the body, the lifetime of stress, trauma, contraction, tightness, the patterning, conditioning, the fear of vulnerability, closes us again.
Less.
And when we go deeper, more love is revealed, more flows.
And more.
In time the channels open wider.
Love reveals, love is revealed.
We see it in life.
It begins for many of us, as healing.
Which is the beginning of love.
Love for ourselves.
Making love with ourselves is not masturbation.
Making love with ourselves is revealing the love, going inside to find it.
Going to the places we locked it away, hid it away.
Going to the places others drove it.
And the touch releases it.
Conscious Sensual Touch is the releasing of love.
The possibilities this opens, the shift in perspective, is enormous.
So much changes, and so much is what we’re doing.
The path we take on this journey expands us into deeper and deeper places of wonder and mystery.
