Slow down. Just a little more
Enter the present through touch.

Not when you’re touching to give,
not when you’re touching to do.
But when your touch becomes a portal—
infused with presence, steeped in awareness

A doorway to the divine,
where Doing dissolves into Being.
A gateway to endless somatic unfolding,
where concentration arises not from effort,
but from intimacy with the moment itself.

As you slow down and stay present
in YOUR body, through contact —
new dimensions appear.

A vastness that doesn’t crave emptiness
but receives experience fully.
No judgment. No resistance.
A swirl of sensation in an ocean of calm.

Our essence awaits us — beneath everything.
Strangely off limits.
As we learn to rest here,
we have more capacity to receive all of our experience.

Conscious touch is a sacred gateway.
It illuminates the body and breath,
and inspires profound relaxation —
if we are present to it.

At the end of the out-breath dissolve.
Ride it beyond the physical,
as it merges into the energetic,
and deep into the infinite.

You might notice that your breath deepens.
Not because YOU deepen it —
but because it naturally responds
to this unfurling ease.

Dimensions of our sacred reality,
waiting for us to go slow enough to feel it.
Like stardust landing in every cell of our being,
we experience this nourishment of Being.

It is one thing to notice relaxation,
another to ride it,
and yet another to take it in.

As it lands, as it seeps in,
we enter into a magnetic field of
receptivity.

Melting into Being.
Being.
A flavour so palpably different from Doing.

Without effort,
without getting rid of anything —
we can rest into every drop of who we are.
Held in the arms of existence.

Our relationship to pleasure is distorted.
We fear it, limit it, contract around it, reshape it.
We force it, chase it, demand from it.

But pleasure is not our goal — it’s our guide.

As we learn to rest into it,
to be guided by it,
we reclaim a gateway to our primordial essence.

The more we soften, the more we open.
The more we open, the more we truly feel.

From profound relaxation,
the inner landscape shifts.
Tension unravels, resistance dissolves. 
What once felt overwhelming
becomes a vibration we can finally receive.

Rather than entering our feelings,
we can receive them —
from WITHIN our ocean of Being.

Every exiled drop, personal and collective,
waits for us here.
Without them, there is no wholeness, 
no true union with life itself.

The feelings we resist.
The sensations we fear.
The vibrations we run from.
They’re not obstacles on our path.
They ARE our path.

Steeped in the vastness of love,
beneath perception,
beneath our beliefs,
we can rediscover our innocence.

Sweetheart, my darling, I’m so sorry!
I know I’ve been misperceiving YOU.
Teach me. Teach me how to be with you,
so we can be at ease in each other’s presence.

When we turn towards our experience with kindness,
the strangest thing happens …
It settles. It settles.
(Go figure!!!!!)

And in that settling,
insight is revealed —
directly in the body.

Eros, the God of love,
is the subtle vibration of our essence —
Tangible, in each moment.

But we fear it, distort it,
misperceive it in its many forms.
And wrap it in shame and taboo.

As we learn to trust and receive it,
we taste its sacredness —
The profound nourishment of life itself.
A coming home.

Without inhabiting this receptive, spacious,
sensual ground of being,
our fragmented aspects cannot fully be received.

Without inhabiting our essence,
we are relentlessly pulled by the distortion
of our own misperception.

As we rest deeply in the unconscious,
as we rest deeply in the unknown,
we can finally receive the wholeness
of who we truly are.

Learning to meet all that we fear in ourselves
opens a door to completely new ways of relating.

Rather than looping in blame and projection,
we begin to track, receive and forgive
all that we fear and resist within ourselves.

These practices illuminate deep,
unconscious and collective pathways —
the ancient imprints of our protection against separation.

This is not a problem — it’s a profound gift.
This IS what we long to feel —
hidden deep within ourselves.

As we rest in genuine self-compassion
we learn to express vulnerability
from a place of self-reflective love.

Meeting ourselves in this way
gives us the capacity to meet others
from the depths of our shared humanity.

This foundational training —
learning to rest in our sensual ground of being —
allows us to taste true self-compassion,
self-forgiveness, and love.
