TOGETHER FOREVER

Lifelong commitment normally means growing old together. Think and talk together about how your relationship will mature as your age advances.

Time for Exercise: five to 30 minutes

Properties Required: photograph of an older couple

Steps:

1.Sit down with your lover and allow your imagination to conjure up images of what your life will be like as you grow old together.

• Consider your health status. Visualize how your bodies will look.
• Visualize the activities you will be engaged in, especially those you do as a couple. Will you be sexually active? What form will sex take? What creative pursuits will you enjoy? What accomplishments will you look back on with satisfaction and pride?
• Where will you live? What will your financial status be? What will be happening in your family?
• Imagine all the ways you have helped to make the world a better place.

2.Frame and display your photograph as a visual symbol of the life you choose to create together as you age.

DREAM TIME

Not only can you remember your dreams and interpret their meaning, but you can also influence dreams with your intention through conscious dreaming. This exercise focuses on the first part of conscious dreaming, setting a theme for your dreaming before you go to sleep. (The second part of conscious dreaming is to participate actively in the dream while the dream unfolds, but that is beyond the scope of this exercise.)

Time for Exercise: three minutes

Properties Required: pen and paper

Steps:

 

1.Choose a question you want answered, or an issue about which you want guidance.

2.Write your choice on a piece of paper.

3.Before you go to sleep, read your question.

4.Place the paper under your pillow.

5.Hold your question in your consciousness as you drift off to sleep.

Comments:

If you wake in the night with insights, write them down immediately. Alternatively, write down any insights as soon as you wake up. Write them down even if they don’t seem to make any sense at the time. Allow what you have written and what you can remember to percolate through your consciousness over the next day or two. Often you will grasp exactly what needs to be done.

The best way to learn—and unlearn—is to take action. Remember that your Body Freedom is your responsibility. It is neither mandatory nor automatic. You can claim your Body Freedom with the following actions:

1.Pay attention to your body. Listen to what it tells you about how it feels and what it wants and needs to function at its best, such as good food, enough rest, adequate exercise, and sensory delight.

2.Identify the body-negative messages you give yourself, that others give you, and that you give to others. Replace them with body-positive communication.

"Sensual Nutrition – Body Freedom"
(Part 2 of 7)

Your body is a remarkable gift from the Creator, a vehicle through which the spiritual can experience the material; that is what a body is for. As spirit in physical form, you can celebrate and explore the sensory joys of this gift. Come to your senses—all of them. Absorb right here, right now what you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. Direct sensory stimulation is nourishment for your body, sensual nutrition, another kind of food without which it cannot thrive and be free. The freedom of the senses is the freedom to experience pleasure and feel desire, to know you are truly alive.

Body Freedom enables you to behold and be warmed by the brightest light of all, the consuming light of love shining from your sweetheart’s eyes. It allows you to revel in the husky whispers and throaty moans that are music to a lover’s ears. To freely devour succulent kisses from pouty lips tasting of fruit and honey. To sniff hungrily and absorb the distinctive scent that is uniquely your beloved’s. To touch and touch and touch with fingers, palms, lips, and tongues, then to lie at ease in each other’s arms, safe, secure, sympathetic, blessed….

"Erotic Massage"

Primarily for arousal, erotic massage focuses, although not exclusively, on tantalizing skin-to-skin contact that becomes increasingly sexual as the massage continues. Using light, feathery touches begin moving inwards from the extremities of your lover’s body, for example from her toes, up her feet, to calves and thighs, stopping just short of her genitals, or her fingers to palms to inner elbows to armpits and almost to her nipples. Only slowly, as her body awakens under your teasing touch do you move on to actually caress her hot sexual spots.
