Both of you will benefit from the experiences and the ‘unknowing’ one may actually fall right into a sort of natural Tantric rhythm once a few sessions have happened.

Valentines: On The Importance Of Sensate Focus On Awareness (Video)

I’m lying on the beach at Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawai’i. This beach and the one just to the South of it, Hapuna, vie for the distinction of being the most beautiful beaches in all of the United States (Conde Nast Traveler). Of course it would be difficult not to feel as though you were in Heaven here. The breeze, the sun, the just right ocean, the soft waves and the fact that you are probably on vacation if you’re here, all add up to a wonderful experience. Continue reading

Unplugged Tantra: 3 Easy Steps to Recharging for Two

If you’re putting off sensual and sexual activities because you’re too tired or busy you are undermining your emotional connection with your lover and your self. The neurotransmitter oxytocin is the bonding hormone that is produced during birthing, breastfeeding, nipple stimulation, kissing, orgasm, eye gazing and touching. In fact, researchers are finding more actions to attribute the release of oxytocin to all the time. Whether it is a big expression or a relatively small dose, this is the stuff of emotional bonding, relaxation and lasting love.

‘Stroking’ To Save Lives

I’m a sensual kind of person. My body informs me. As a species, we humans have generally forgotten to pay attention to the information our bodies are revealing to us. We’re a thinking species and by being thus we think ourselves through situations rather than feeling through situations.

Pleasure Fibers & Touch: Pleasuring Me Pleasures You

I love to swim. I love the water running past every inch of my skin, tickling the hair follicles as it passes over my alert and ready nerve endings. I dive into the pool outside my living room French doors and push off repeatedly to the surface from the bottom of the deep end. I experience the thrill it gives me as I push up from the bottom and break the surface.
