Bedroom Bliss - Love Ritual

Create an evening with your lover that brings you back to your senses. Prepare everything you'll need ahead so that the experience flows.
  • Bathe each other and towel each other dry.
  • Decide who will go first, then blindfold the Receiver and lie them down on your bed.
  • Treat them to different modalities of touch: a feather, a rose, a piece of fur, a piece of velvet, and see if they can identify what it is you are using. Blow on them softly. Trail a silk scarf or your hair over the length of their body.

  • Pass bits of fruit under their nose for them to enjoy smelling. Try a flower from your garden. Dab a bit of perfume or a scented oil on your fingertips and wave it in the air. Use things that are subtle to the senses.

  • Gather a small bell, a chime, your charm bracelet, some dry leaves on a branch, a crystal glass to ring, a Tibetan bowl, or anything else you can think of that would produce exquisite sounds for your partner to experience.

  • Even bending close to their ear and breathing softly will work. Have them taste the different fruits you earlier passed by their nose now. A bit of whipped cream, chocolate, or liqueur would do nicely, too.
  • Remember to remind your partner to breathe deeply and take it all in.

The point of this evening is to treat your partner to a complete sensory experience. When you block one of the senses like sight the other senses become heightened. You can then experience them more deeply and become "aware" of their essences. You can come to your senses again.
