The lovemaking was so intense that earth moved!
No, really, it did. Last winter we felt an earthquake. Here in the Sierras of Northern California, that doesn’t happen often. I can count on one hand the number of times in the last 20 years that I’ve felt a tremor.
John and I were deeply into an intimate connection. I was trembling with lots of kundalini energy moving. I had been shaking for a while, which is not new for me — I’ve done that for years when I run a lot of energy. Suddenly we heard a strange sound and felt the shaking of my house. The next minute, an alert came on our phones about the earthquake. Fortunately, it was a minor shake here and there was no damage.
Pretty powerful, eh? Causing an earthquake with the strength of my shaking! (Just kidding!)
The next day I woke energized and happy again. It had been a long dry spell with John and me. First he was very engaged with a project away from home and wasn’t here very much. Then just as he finished that, I got very busy with travels, being sick with a cold, a friend visiting for a week and a week-long spiritual intensive. I was feeling low energy and flattened when we got together again for the first time in what felt like forever. So much so that I considered canceling our date and taking a nap instead. But I drew upon the devotion that we carry together. One of our commitments is to nurture our relationship, and those connection times are the main way that we do it.
I was so glad that we have that commitment and that we honored the devotion to our relationship. It energized me and changed my mood from low-level depression back to my usual cheery nature. The next day I had a smile on my face and a new spring in my step.
Just a reminder — running energy is a really good idea!
If you’d like some support with that, I’d like to invite you to the next round of my online group “Bliss: Dissolve into Universal Oneness”, which begins July 11, 2025. In it, I will share practices and meditations that help you access this energy and use it to enliven yourself and your relationship. I’m opening this group to both couples and singles, with the invitation for singles being about developing a relationship to their inner lover.

I would be so delighted to have you be a part of this group!
