Something landed for me this week.
I know it, but this week it came to awareness in 4 words.
Touch from the feeling.
A lot of my work is touch, a lot of my teaching is touch.
The world of touch is a world of limitless possibility. I’ve been teaching massage in many ways, and touch, for over 25 years, and even as recently as this weekend, on a Conscious Sensual Massage workshop, I did something that I’ve never done before.
It was just a change of position, a.small thing, and it opened a new perspective on a part of the body.
The Conscious Sensual Massage I teach is a creative massage, it’s not a technique.
The massage is comes from the breath, from connection.
It’s a meditation of touch, an exploration of the body as mystery. It’s a conversation of skin.
It’s a discovery, an endless discovery, of the contours, the texture, the curves, the plains of the body.
There’s a body-to-body holding, a connection and intimacy, that allows the touch to flow.
Touch From the Feeling.
It begins with a connection with ourselves.
First through breath, then movement, then touch.
We drop into ourselves.
We feel something inside of us.
And from the feeling, the touch flows.
So often we think it’s the technique, and here’s something interesting.
At the recent Sex Expo in Johannesburg, we showed a few live Yoni Massage experiences.
Many men come up to us after watching these and are convinced it’s what we use, which, BTW, is organic coconut oil.
We’re always looking for something outside, something external. In this case, the oil, with whatever magical properties or additives we think it has, or the technique.
The technique is important, of course it is.
And more than that, the feeling.
Learning to touch from the feeling opens new doors of sensuality and connection.
The feeling is within us.
And the more in this we can be, the more we realise how much our touch, our intimacy, our pleasure, our sexuality, is about us.
We make it about the other, they become the source of arousal and the source of desire.
And so much of what we do in pleasure is about them, to please someone else. And giving pleasure is delicious, important.
When we become more aware of what’s within us, and how we can express that in touch, in pleasure, we can deepen our experience.
Touch from the feeling.
So many practices I share are about the feeling.
Connected, intimate, sensual, peaceful, quiet, still, aware, present, aroused, soft, open, sexual, erotic, tender…
Touching from the feeling, that flows through us, through our bodies, through our hearts, into our hands.
And even deeper, into our eyes, looking at each other.
Into our kiss.
The feeling, that’s the power.
I invite you to join me in Goa from 11 Nov as we begin the journey into Sensual Encounters.
I’ll be at Heartland Yoga, and I’m going to show you how to Touch from the Feeling, and a lot more.
DM for details.
