Loving Presence For Couples

During heightened states of awareness, beautiful visions, sensory impressions, feelings, sounds, and even heavenly fragrances can be evoked. Throughout this lesson you are invited into an exotic day spa where you will receive exquisite delights for your sense of taste, touch, fragrance and sight. This session is a deeply restorative and nourishing practice.

During this lesson, we are seeking freedom to transform any shame or pain that you might have about your body image. We then endeavour to creatively transform this into acceptance, and ultimately, celebration of realising your true colours. The regular practice of bringing attention to each part of your body, with love and acceptance. You will grow new pathways of thinking and cherishing your body as a temple of pleasure.

Many years of personal healing with the masculine and feminine figures in my life influenced this guided meditation. Archetypes according to Carl Yung, mindful inquiry from positive psychology, Shamanic teachings and my deep desire for wholeness and harmony helped to transform the qualities of loving relationships held within my psyche. In today's lesson, this guided meditation will reveal your own unconscious bias toward men and women in your life. During this inner shamanic journey you will discover a way to bridge the gap that separates and divides. This will arise naturally within you from you psyche and desire for Union. Reverence for the mystery and serendipity will allow you to go within and visit the landscapes and impressions of feminine and masculine. You will visit your sacred river, forever flowing inside of you.

In this beautiful meditation, you will learn a breathing practice entitled "Infinity Breathing." This breathing practice is designed for couples, allowing you and your beloved to connect through your breath and to enliven your senses. This practice will expand your consciousness and create opportunities for deeper merging, as deep as the ocean of love. Sim's voice will guide you through, to ensure you keep mindful loving presence. Infinity breathing practice is a beautiful way to start your day and include into your morning routine. I invite you to include this practice for the duration of this program and beyond. Each time you practice and experience the bliss of merging into loving presence, you can be sustained throughout the rest of your busy day. Try it and let us know in our student portal.

In our Seventh Heaven session, I will be today I will be sharing a poem I wrote during a silent meditation retreat. I invite you to notice the wonder of getting to know your body temple. You can lightly hold these experiences with a sense of Awareness and watch as your Awareness expands delightfully. Now, we can move into the depths of your experience of soulful union. Are you accepting yourself fully, opening yourself to another to see you for your true colours, for your richly diverse inner terrain? Activate your imagination, imagine an ocean inside of you and how this may connect to the depths of your emotions. I have found the wisdom of the ocean useful to describe and share how I feel emotionally, especially when feeling intense rage or grief. Sometimes, there are rough weather conditions, a huge surf making it difficult to stay afloat but remember, our love can be as deep and as wide as the ocean. You are the gift in the Present.

During this lesson, we will be courageous and dive into the shadow side of giving and receiving. This shadow side is illuminated from the relationships we have with others, particularly our intimate partner. During this session we will be open to the mysteries of love and shadow wrestling. How many times have you discovered that what you resist, persists? When we can remain open and courageous to receiving and giving feedback, this is when relationships are our greatest spiritual teachers.

In this lesson you are rewarding yourself with a romantic evening away in the Mountains, accompanied by the warmth of a fire place and an exquisite sensual meal. Here, you activate and enliven your senses of taste, smell, touch, fragrance and connection. When we can give ourselves treats and mind retreats, we are nourished and our lives become a celebration. In this session, you will be encouraged to write a love letter to your body, for all that you are grateful for and cherish about yourself. I would love to read your love poems, you can post them on our Insight Timer group “Exquisite sensuality!”

You and a partner will embrace and take the ultimate dive into the eyes of love. For those who are presently single, you can still play with the imaginative aspects of this beautiful practice. This lover’s practice will awaken and arouse your whole body, all energy fields buzzing with delight. Exquisite sensuality is yours to give and receive, and I highly recommend that you include this lovers’ meditation as your regular morning meditation practice. Remember your presence to each other is the greatest gift you can give. Mindful intimacy is a valuable tool for cultivating more than you could ever imagine.
