Make space for comfortable, consensual connection through attention, communication, and a little less pressure to perform.
Awareness belongs here, too.
My exploration includes The Alchemy of Ecstasy, The Tao of Sexology by Dr. Stephen T. Chang, and Tantric sexual practices. I’m drawn to ideas that give intimacy depth and to practices that invite us to pay attention to the quality of the experience.
I bring those teachings into conversation with research on sexual well-being, keeping spiritual perspectives and demonstrated health effects distinct.
Carry that attention into your day.
I explore intimacy alongside the practices that shape how we feel, notice, and relate.
