How Do You Begin Your Day?

Sometimes men come into my studio space out of breath and talking very quickly. I can tell right away that not only are they busy people, but at that moment they’re overwhelmed with their to do list. Of course, I’ve never experienced that condition myself – ha!

As we start working together it becomes clear that they’re experiencing a lot of stress around all the stuff that’s going on in their lives. I know this condition very well myself! I’ll often ask each man experiencing this stress how they start their day. Most give a similar story about hitting the snooze button several times then getting up quickly and rushing through their morning routine and out the door to work.

I notice that the way we begin our day often sets us up for how the day will be experienced. If you're identifying with this condition, I like to offer a suggestion. Look at how you wake up. Plan your morning so that you don’t have to rush; take your time while waking up. As an example, spend a few minutes waking up your body before getting out of bed. Rather than hitting that snooze button several times, try gently stretching your body as you lie in bed. Give yourself some quality touch to wake yourself up. Go ahead and spend a few minutes on your genitals to wake up to some pleasure! You don’t need to take lots of time with this self touch; in fact, it can take less time than repeated hitting of the snooze button!

As you get out of bed take a few nice, deep breaths. Let out a good sigh or moan as you exhale. Greet the new day! In this short 10 to 15 minute process you set the stage for how your day will happen. When you start the day with intention and renewal there’s a strong possibility that this wonderful feeling can carry you throughout the day.

I invite you to try this out and notice what happens!

Workshops and More

Check out these workshops and events coming soon!

Mindful Self Loving

Many of us look at self pleasuring solely as a way of getting off. It’s something that we learned when we were younger and probably haven’t changed the way we approach this important activity since that time. Join a group of men who are transforming their self pleasuring practice into a meditative, fulfilling practice. Men of all ages (18+) are welcome – we’ve had men in their 20’s through their 70’s. Learn to break through self-imposed barriers and join a group of men in a practice that is focused on healing pleasure. Learn to experience true pleasure in your body and practice savoring that pleasure without the anxiety of meeting a performance standard.

We usually have around 10 to 15 men in our circle. The first part of the evening is guided practices to help each man explore his erotic potential. The second part of the evening is a communal self pleasuring ritual. All of the activities take place in a space of mutual respect and trust.

We gather at Heartwalker Studio in Oakland the first Monday of each month. Our next gathering will be on October 5. The doors open at 6:30 and we’ll start at 7:00. There’s more information available on the website. I look forward to welcoming you!

The Sacred Masculine: Reclaiming our Sexuality
A New Experiment in Home Based Learning

Join me in a new experiment in distance learning and group sharing. Be part of a group of adventurous men looking to enhance our sexual lives.

Break through stereotypes and assumptions on sexual expression and pleasure. Experience a supportive community of men to help you with your journey. Ask those questions we've all been afraid to ask.

During this 8 week tele-class I'll share what I've learned from coaching hundreds of men. I'll also be sharing tips and techniques from my forthcoming book The Sacred Masculine: Reclaiming Our Sexuality. The tele-class will use weekly group coaching sessions along with experiential home assignments to help men learn about:

The tele-class will use weekly group coaching sessions along with experiential home assignments to help men learn about:

• Accessing erotic trance states that allow you to experience high states of sexual arousal for hours at a time without any pills or drugs.
• Recognizing, integrating and being comfortable with your sexual energy in all aspects of your life.
• Incorporating an erotic practice into your life.
• Ejaculation mastery.
• Releasing yourself from performance anxiety.
• How to separate orgasm from ejaculation.
• How to experience whole body orgasms that can become a life changing experience.
• Becoming confident in your sexual body and comfortable with both the raw, primal part as well as the calm, gentle part.
• Becoming confident in your sexual skills with a partner.

The group coaching event will use the Internet to bring men together in a virtual space where we will use both video and audio instruction. I’m really excited to offer this opportunity to men to explore and learn together everywhere on the planet!

Take advantage of this one-time only pilot opportunity! There’s more information on the website or you can register for the event at the online store.
