INSIGHT

Embodiment As Intuition

  • Embodiment is the foundation of being an intuitive lover because intuition lives in the body.
  • Sensations and emotions are the body's language that informs desire and attunement.
ADVICE

Daily Body-Scan Practice

  • Practice a daily embodiment routine like body-scan meditations to increase sensation awareness.
  • Read a sensations vocabulary before a scan to broaden differentiation and clarity.
ADVICE

Quick Grounding Moves

  • Use quick grounding tools (breath, stretching, muscle tensing/relaxing) in the bathroom or before intimacy.
  • Co-regulate with eye contact, synced breath, and touch to sink nervous systems together.
