To be real, to confront our fears, and to grow in Love.

Have a five-minute check-in.
This check-in is not necessarily about the relationship.
It’s about you!
It’s about reconnecting with who you are in this moment and expressing your truth to your partner.
Again, it’s simple but profound.
Here are some questions that can guide you:
How am I doing in my life?
What’s important to me in this moment?
What am I working on?
What do I want to create?
What challengesif anyare appearing for me right now?
Who am I right now?
Do a shadow check.
Ahhh…the shadow check.
Not always easy, but definitely an important technique for couples.
So, what is a shadow check?
So, how do you do it?
We give a shot to steer clear of blame.
We venture to use “I” statements (i.e., “Ive been feeling ____ way.”
“My experience is this.").
We try not to exceed 90 minutes for the whole shadow check (to avoid burnout).
Yes, uncomfortable feelings arise in intimate relationships.
Conscious sensuality is what most people think of when they hear the word “Tantra.”
Without a doubt, it’s an amazing part of being in a Tantric relationship.
But what is conscious sensuality, exactly?
It’s being fully aware in your touch, contact, erotic energy, and lovemaking.
Just focus on this one taskeye-gazing and breathingfor the full five minutes.
In the next five minutes, switch roles.
In the next five minutes, practice kissing with full awareness.
Just be in the moment, not needing to do anything but kiss.
See what that’s like.
And keep going from there!
As you’ve got the option to imagine, there are lots of possibilities.
Basically, it’smeditation and sex combined!
And who doesn’t like that?
That’s what Tantra is, and that’s what an alive relationship is, too.
