Lightening as Male Orgasmic Energy

Playing with Male Orgasmic Energy

Workshop Discount Extended

I invite you to join our circle where we will safely create the space for us to explore primal erotic energies and the connections between spirit and eros. This 2 day workshop will create a brotherhood for us to explore the possibilities of embracing our bodies and breaking through taboos, ignorance and shame that can limit us.

We'll be exploring orgasmic energy in all its forms through breath, sound, movement and self touch. We'll have an opportunity to create celebration and ritual around our erotic energies as well as practice meditative, mindful self pleasuring.

This workshop promises to be unlike anything you've experienced before. I promise that you'll come away from the weekend with your body charged and energized by many new possibilities!

I realize that the holidays are busy times for everyone so I've extended the early registration discount. The regular registration fee is $200, but I'm offering a discounted registration of $150 through the end of January. A sliding scale is available for those in financial need. Please contact me for more details. I'm limiting the number of men so I invite you to register quickly before all remaining spaces are full.

Vulnerability

I've been learning a lot about vulnerability lately. Like most guys, I grew up believing that being vulnerable was being weak. As I realized that I was attracted to other guys that lesson was reinforced even more. If I showed any vulnerability or exposed my feelings in any way that just meant that I was likely to get beat on by other guys.

My time in the corporate world also reinforced this belief. Most business cultures reward those coming from a place of being sure and of strength. To be vulnerable is to be unsure and viewed as weak. Also, many business cultures don't look favorably on not knowing all the answers. To admit that you don't know is also viewed as being unsure and weak. So I learned to hide any vulnerabilities.

Over the years I've learned a lot about my personality. I know that I can be rather strong - ok, same say overwhelming - and have been described as intense, smoldering, passionate and fierce. I've found that many people are drawn to these qualities; however, others can find my qualities to be overwhelming. Traditionally, I responded to others running away by turning my volume down - being less of who I naturally am. I'm learning that I still need to be my genuine self regardless of how others perceive me. The way to be authentic yet respect how others perceive me is to be vulnerable - to speak from my heart.

As an example, I have had noise in my head that I'm supposed to be the expert when clients come to me. There are many times when I do have a good idea of what to do in a given situation. However, there are also times when I'm not really sure. Historically, I would hide the fact that I'm unsure. Lately, I've learned so share my uncertainty with clients and provide a window into my thought processes. Usually I'm thinking of several ideas and will share the options with a client. The amazing thing for me is that sharing my though process is often a great help to a client and he usually has a clear idea of the path forward that is best for him!

So I'm learning that my vulnerability can be helpful not only to me but also to clients! Pretty cool, huh?

Videos

Several men have suggested that I post an audio file of the guided meditation video. This would help men through the guided body meditation without the need to be near the computer. I'm finishing the editing of an mp3 version of this meditation and will post it shortly. Also, I'm finishing up the video demonstrating orgasmic breath. Look for this new one soon. All the videos can be reached from the Video Library on the website.

Enjoy the winter season and remember that the days are now getting longer!
