Begin with both partners sitting facing each other,
Close enough to hold hands or lightly touch knees if comfortable.
Now close your eyes and take a slow,
Deep breath in.
And out.
Feel your body softening with every exhale.
Allow your shoulders to drop.
Your jaw to release and your heart to open.
Now bring your awareness to the warmth of your partner's hands or simply imagine them if you're not physically touching.
Breathe in together.
And breathe out together.
Finding a shared rhythm.
Now in your mind,
Bring up one thing you deeply appreciate about your partner.
Hold that thought for a few breaths.
Now gently say it out loud to your partner.
Imagine a soft golden light glowing in your heart.
With every breath,
Feel it expanding.
See this light traveling across to your partner's heart.
Connecting the two of you in a warm and loving flow.
In this space.
Picture yourself being affectionate.
A smile.
A kiss.
A tender touch.
See your partner responding with equal warmth.
And feel how natural and safe it is to show love.
And to receive love.
Now silently or aloud repeat.
I see you.
I cherish you.
I open myself to deeper love with you.
Beautiful,
That's it.
Now when you're ready,
Slowly open your eyes and look at your partner.
Share a smile.
If it feels right,
Give each other a kiss or a hug.
Now carry this connection with you beyond this moment.
