Moving to the Same Rhythm

It’s wonderful to feel so totally in sync with someone, moving to the same rhythm together. Of course, there are also moments when we can all feel a little out of rhythm with ourselves or our beloved. Hopefully, our desire is to come back and reconnect.

This is a very simple but intimate meditation using the breath to tune in and connect with each other.

To begin, the man sits leaning against a wall or something that can support him. He is upright but relaxed. The woman sits in front and slowly leans back into him. Then, close your eyes and both start by tuning into your own breath. Take the breath slowly down, inhaling into the lower abdomen. Exhale fully. After maybe 3 or 4 minutes, or when the man feels ready, he will begin to tune into the woman’s breathing. He will breathe in when she breathes in and again follows her when she breathes out. Give yourselves at least 5 mins before you then swap over. You can stay in the same position if you wish, but the woman will now follow the man’s breath. You can finish this meditation by lying and holding each other.

This meditation brings harmony and intimacy. It can also be followed on from the eye gazing practice.
