You’re doing sex wrong: What I wish everyone knew about the emotional presence, physical skill, and energetic magnitude of blissful, fulfilling sex.
Emotional Presence Orgasm is a paltry goal Orgasms aren’t always a clear yes-or-no thing for me. There’s an ever-growing range of pleasurable experiences that I call “orgasm,” and the one I’m certain would be widely agreed upon as an orgasm is the least pleasurable one for me... - annabeth...
Last night I had the conversation I'd been dreading. I risked discovering that my reality now doesn't match the experiences that created my soul's deepest fears. I had to face so much gut-wrenching terror just to show up for the possibility. It didn't match.... - Arun...
I really like the gaze + small movements – seems almost like a somatic reminder that it's not as bad as it seems to be because look, movement is actually possible.... - nat...
I love this. This spoke to me: I don’t know who you are or what you need but I want to know and I’m committed to discovering at least until I die because I’m sure it’ll be novel and better than pretending you don’t exist.... - josefine...
"I believe life is trustable and I wonder if I’ll be alive to see the good that will come from this huge swing.". This sentence moved me a lot and has been working in me since I read it last week.... Hey Nat. that retreat was quite a lot. I’m really glad I did it. I did not experience Jhanna, but I experiened tremendous openings to more enjoyment, more softness, and increased ability for gratitude, forgiveness, appreciation.... (Alignment of "Us"- Excerpt #159 from an epistolary I'm releasing next year)
Dear Johan, A great example of alignment is when someone knows that I love them even when, in the moment, I can’t feel it. A great example of alignment is when what I do, when I’m not trying to signal, signals to the other person that I love them.... Definitely a theme for my life right now. But not only grief; there are so many uncomfortable thoughts and feelings that are also accepted as currency. I'm beginning to accept that there's no free lunch, and that pain/discomfort is the price of moving in the right direction.... Calm Your Heart
Calm your heart down let your heart walk steady through the world. let your heart give gently and generously let your heart break and bleed peacefully let your heart rest.... - Shera JoyCry...
What is the absense of a "negative" emotion when one is in a habit/addition to that emotion. For example, do we call in shame becasue the absence of it is too unsettling. #deeptakes
Yes, I enjoyed today! I was a bit tired but I allowed myself to appreciate how someone was showing up or what I was joyful about. Felt so good! <3

I like that you’re hold your boundaries, looking out for your own needs when it would be quite culturally challenging. Hearing the description of your friend, I imagine they don’t feel heard, and thus keep pushing their views.... The flavor of envy and jealousy I typically experience is in the realm of wanting more time with people… Like if I’m left off of an invitation, a friend has a preference of going to a concert with her boyfriend over me, or my boyfriend goes on a date with someone else on a night... - nat...
love this. This is exactly how I’ve been helpful myself and my clients gain freedom from procrastination and other self-sabotaging tendencies. We face the resistance and any accompanying sensations, emotions, discomfort… head on from a space of loving awareness.... How i decieded to stop sharing my feelings with my mom
one time when i was 17, my mom took me to Baltimore (like an hour and a half away) to help me get my driving learner’s permit. it was a special DMV with extra long lines, because i was not a citizen.... Jordan, I’ve waited to respond to this, wanting to do so when I had the time and space. Your understanding of my breaking up with the God of my youth and the following breakups, as an ever increasing intimacy with God rings true.... - nat...
I think my story is some version of that… that they’re not open to listening, that I’ll be misunderstood and made to feel wrong, that it’ll turn into an argument that I won’t have energy for… Great that you and Stephanie have that!... Read the full post - nat...
Sounds delightful. I can access the feeling of that in this moment but may not be able to remember it or sustain it.
