Creating a sense of Safety for all that is and developing and experiencing a sense of Comfort.

Becoming a better LOVER.

After the event at the Awaken Studio yesterday I was struck by how often men would comment on how safe the exploration felt. From that sense of safety these men seemed to derive a sense of comfort in the experience. This in-turn seemed to release a sense of pleasure into the room.

My question to myself was, “How did that happen?”

Building Safety

  • Breathing 
  • Eye-contact
  • Slowing the process down
  • Being informed of what will happen and how
  • Simple, solid and “grounded” touch
  • Smiling

All these above and being able to hold the part of one’s intention where one can access a sense of graciousness and kindness. This graciousness and kindness concentrated on oneself, the other and the group. This is when the sense of comfort comes into play and the sense of safety within is amplified and then begins to move through the individual, the couple or the group.

When we are breathing and smiling and connecting to the other and our highest powers are being utilized. One might find that one can be a “better” LOVER.

NOT, to say that we are not wonderful LOVERS to begin with and these elements of concentration and physical release in the face for fears, anxiety, critical self thought, self doubt and strong emotion can bring us into a place where we can connect and find ourselves in that Exquisite and Ecstatic state where we can feel everything that we might be and we are joined in giving and receiving in a what can be described as a Sacred Union.

 

I live my life in widening circles

that reach out across the world.

I may not complete this last one

but I give myself to it.

I circle around God, around the primordial tower.

I’ve been circling for thousands of years

and I still don’t know:

am I a falcon,

a storm,

or a great song?

~ Ranier Maria Rilke ~

Everything always seems easier with Gratitude.

I woke this morning and found that my heart was filling with fear at all that was in the day and the week…

Some of the questions that rolled in the fear were…”Had I not been asking for this for so very long?” “Here it was and what was I going to do? ” Would I be good enough?” “Would everything work out?”

All these thoughts filling me were not what I wanted. They were all elements that I had no control over.

A few breaths in and out and mind-fully letting go of the fear I wondered what might I fill my heart with.

What washed through me in my wondering, was GRATITUDE.

Gratitude that there was so much. Gratitude that everything was really so simple,   Gratitude that I was full of LIFE and LOVE and that everything was just as it should be.

There was such a release in me that I could feel the whole of the day and the week falling together as I let the sense of Thank-fullness seep into every pore, nook and cranny of my being.

Grateful today.

A friend of mine pointed out to me the other day that I was colouring outside the lines.

This noticing on the part of my friend made me think for a moment about what I was doing, where I was going and what effect this might have on the world around me.

My noticing in response to this was:

  • I have always coloured outside the lines
  • that my colouring outside of the lines can be a bold and edgy response to the world
  • when I colour outside the lines, there are often others who are curious and want to colour outside of the lines with me.
  • I am glad for all of those who are joining in and colouring outside of the lines with me.
  • I am sad for those that feel so stuck in their expression that they will stay inside of the lines
  • I will forever continue to encourage everyone to come and colour outside of the lines with me
  • The more colour there is and the messier the whole piece is the more fun I have and when I have fun, the energy that is brought to the world can captivate and entice another to come and colour outside of the lines with me

I LOVE the way that the world works. I love that the world is responsive to the energy of LOVE

COME and COLOUR OUTSIDE OF THE LINES WITH ME!

Love again today at the Awaken Studio

Friends can help each other 

A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself – and especially to feel.
 
Or, not feel.
 
Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them.
 
That’s what real love amounts to – letting a person be what he really is.
 
Jim Morrison
