Hi .. it’s
Teri.
First of
all.. Happy Mother’s Day and don’t forget to tell the women in your life you
love them today!
Now.. on to
more about intimacy. :-)
Has there
ever been a time in your life when you have craved touch? I know I have had
those times more than once. This is because we as humans have this ingrained in
our DNA. Touching someone means to “connect” with them.
And believe
it or not.. connecting through touch is an “Art” and it can be uncomfortable
for some people. However.. it is crucial for intimacy.
Here is a
short exercise just to facilitate a level of comfort..
- Find a quite
space.
- Spend a few
minutes to get into a light, meditative state.
- Have your
partner turn so that his/her back faces you while standing, about 12 inches
apart.
- Rub your
palms together in little circles for about 30 seconds as you do slow, deep
breathing.
- During
exhale, imagine energy flowing out of your hand in shapes like circles, squares
and triangles.
- Draw these
shapes – one per breath – on your partner’s back (no actual touching).
- See the
energy flowing from your hand onto their back.
- Your partner,
also taking slow breaths, should attempt to name the shape you are drawing.
After a few
minutes, switch.
This was just a short example and the more in depth you go,
the more benefit you’ll get. Tantra can help immensely!
The primary goal of Tantra is the unconditional merging of
two partners.. however can be used for “self” as well. Hence all the practices,
techniques and concepts are designed to penetrate all three layers of our
consciousness — physical senses, mental
models and your energetic blueprint. The result is deep
transformation of the self that often spills into every aspect of your life.
Meaning, you’ll be a different person
after this journey.
