    Aged to Perfection

    6

    I have done individual Touch Practice with men ranging in age from 19 to 82. I have noticed in my own personal practice, as well as during workshops, that there are sometimes powerful forces that exist in all Touch Practice that are exaggerated or amplified …

    Fear, Part Two: Feeling it

    I want to follow up today on two recent blog topics–one about bullying, the other about fear–by reporting one of the most interesting and useful spiritual journeys I have taken in perhaps the past five years. The very simple exercise that I engaged was, “what …

    Wanting

    1

    Something came to me this week that I have wanted–badly–for a year. It’s something I’ve been so desirous of that I was becoming afraid of my desire. I’ve written previously about attraction and aversion. These two forces, in my personal experience, can cause a great …

    Appetite and Need

    Walks between Worlds

    I have learned everything I know about Touch Practice by practicing, by holding men. Hundreds of men. Hundreds of different men. Very, very different men. Some of the men I hold are conservative Republicans. Some are liberal Democrats. Some of the men I hold are …

    Ritual As a Container for Experience

    The power of a cup of coffee in the morning (specifically, the caffeine it contains) doesn’t work quite the way many of us assume it does. In a non-habitual drinker, the caffeine in a cup of coffee certainly has a powerful physiological effect, raising blood …
