What am I signing up for?

Arrive Prepared

We can only receive loving touch when we feel safe. We ask that you practice in a space that allows for privacy and comfort. We encourage you to create a sacred space by lighting a candle, or burning some incense, or choosing a spot in the sun to let the sun kiss you or choose anything that allows you to connect with your spirit. Wear loose fitting clothes that allow you to take off a layer.

You can do this practice in your bed, on a yoga mat or a carpet. You will need two pillows. The following items are optional: a soft, light blanket and an eye pillow.

Welcome

We request that you turn on your camera for the first 5 minutes as we welcome ourselves and each other to the class. This is done by simply saying your name and how you feel in one word. You will be prompted to turn off your camera once we go into the body practice. Please arrive at least 5 minutes early so we can start on time. You may leave the class at anytime but please announce it in the chat box. You will be giving the option to leave the class after integration when we go into break out rooms to share our experience.

Set an Intention

Intentions are powerful because we align our will with what we wish to make real. Our intention is to heal the split between body and spirit. We will make space for you to set your own intention. Three participants will be invited to share their intention out loud for everyone to hear, everyone else may speak it while muted or write it in the chat box. Also one person will be invited to speak a prayer to invite the divine within each of us to help us receive the full benefits of the practice. You may keep a journal where you record your intentions as well as notes about your body practice. Your body and breathing will change over time. This allows you to reflect upon your progress.

Your Inner Child is invited too!  

In the session you will be prompted to call in, hold and touch your inner child and give them a good mother or good father message. Please choose one or two from the one’s below or create your own one. Something you always wanted to hear from your parents or care takers.

Good mother messages:

I love you

I feel you

I see you

I hear you

I love you for who you are, not for what you do

I give you permission to be different from me

I love taking care of you

I am here for you

You can trust me

You can trust your inner voice

Sometimes I will say “No” and that’s because I love you

It’s okay to be scared or sad or angry

I welcome and cherish your love

My love can heal you

Good father messages

I love you

I am proud of you

I belief in you

I set limits and I am willing to enforce them

If you fall (fail) I will pick you up

I have confidence in you

I give you permission to be the same as I, to be more or less

You are beautiful/handsome

I give you permission to love and enjoy your erotic sexuality with a partner of your choice and not lose me

Body Scan 

You will be prompted to tune into and scan your whole body, by gently touching a part of your body. Touch your body as if you were a precious instrument like a Stradivarius or a singing bowl made of crystal.

Tuning into your body allows you to attune with yourself and detect energy blockages that prevent you from feeling connected to all parts of your body. Wilhelm Reich developed the theory of armoring and broke it down into 7 segments.

Ocular Segment: Eyes, nose

Oral Segment:

Thoracic Segment:

Diaphramtic Segment:

Abodominal Segment:

Pelvic Segment:

Every segment can either block the energy from flowing or allow it to flow freely connecting each segment to the other. Our goal is to increase the capacity of the body to allow the free flow of energy/life force which restores our sense of wellbeing and enhances our sex life. This also allows us to stand up for ourselves, reach out and touch others.

Self Massage

We begin by massaging the scalp and make our way all the way down to our feet. The intention is to open the energy flow in each segment by massaging each part of the body including the chest/breast and groin area. You may explore how you like to touch and be touched. Do you enjoy gentle or firm touch, You are the giver and the receiver of touch and you have the opportunity to tune in and listen to what your body wants and needs. All along we encourage you to breath and give voice to the pain and the pleasure you experience.

Although this massage is not intended to be arousing you might get aroused. If you would like to take it a step further and masturbate you are encouraged to do so after the integration and after sharing once the class has ended and you are by yourself. If you are in a relationship that has lost its spark invite your partner to join you after class and they will be in for a treat!

Movement 

Once we are in our body we can let it lead us in movement.
