Quiet Ecstasy

I was greeted by this full rainbow as I stepped outside to get firewood for my stove one morning last winter. It brought me to a standstill, and I just stood there, soaking in the beauty. What a gift, and what a way to start the day! Gratitude for the beauty of this earth. IContinue reading “Quiet Ecstasy”

The Earth Moved!

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 intoContinue reading “The Earth Moved!”

Stillness Within the Storm

“As the fires blend in sexual joy,Enter that blessed place between the legs,Embrace the holy energies shimmering there.”— The Radiance Sutras, by Lorin Roche John and I have a practice that we embed in our regular connection ceremonies. One of us will flip the pages of The Radiance Sutra and the other one will pokeContinue reading “Stillness Within the Storm”

Bliss: Dissolve into Universal Oneness

I was shocked and also excited a few years ago, when my teacher told me that I had crossed into the first enlightenment, the enlightenment of the mind and a merging with Pure Awareness. This was something I had longed for and worked towards with my whole heart, yet I didn’t FEEL like I wasContinue reading “Bliss: Dissolve into Universal Oneness”

Sex Is More Than Physical

Sex is so much more than physical! And it’s a good thing that it is! If it was nothing more than rubbing body parts together, it would get boring pretty quickly. There are only so many ways that you can make it different — different positions, different partners. It still becomes limited. But when youContinue reading “Sex Is More Than Physical”

Lovemaking as an Art Form

Lovemaking, when it’s done consciously, is an exquisite art form. The endless variation in the play of light and firm, slow and fast, stillness and wildness makes each time you connect with your beloved special and different. How do you learn this art? If we lived in a different world, a different time, one whereContinue reading “Lovemaking as an Art Form”

Ecstatic Flow

It’s a sublime experience to be with a beloved so intimately that your bodies move all on their own. It’s a wisdom beyond the mind, where your bodies are so tuned into the energy flows of the universe that they move together of their own volition. This is a video of my partner John andContinue reading “Ecstatic Flow”

A Little Help From My Friends

Luscious Loving is getting a little help from my friends! I’m excited to announce that my upcoming couple’s group is going to be deeply enriched by two of my favorite people in the world. My beloved partner, John Thompson, will be joining me each session to assist with teaching about the ins and outs (punContinue reading “A Little Help From My Friends”

Luscious Loving

What Does It Take? What does it take to have luscious loving? There are several different qualities that are necessary for a relationship to blossom. If any of them are missing, there’s a piece missing from the relationship. It’s not as well-rounded and complete. Connection and intimacy are crucial to a sweet relationship. When connectionContinue reading “Luscious Loving”

Active and Receptive

One of the things I find really interesting in sexual energetics is the difference between masculine and feminine energies. This isn’t necessarily connected to whether whether you have a male or female body. I think of masculine as the active principle and feminine as the receptive principle. It’s possible to run either of those energiesContinue reading “Active and Receptive”
