    Working Skillfully with Erotic Energy

    I don’t plan what I’m going to blog about from week to week. Every Thursday or Friday, I go to the mountain and wait to hear Spirit speak, and when I hear something, I start writing it down. That can be a little nerve wracking, …

    Beyond Belief: Part Two

    Belief is in some ways the opposite of experience. Belief (confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof) precedes us into our next experience and shapes that experience like a lens.

  • Setting Boundaries In Relationships1

    Safety through separation, safety through connection

    2

    Following up on last week’s post—how boundaries work to create safety—here’s a case where “the opposite of a truth is also true.” One of the first things we learn to do to create safety is separate ourselves: we build walls, erect boundaries, withdraw. For those …

    How boundaries keep us safe

    4

    In various sorts of body work ranging from clinical, therapeutic massage through even the most erotic types of exchange, an explicit agreement about boundaries—where and how we will and won’t touch or be touched—is one of the ways we create a sense of safety for …
