LOVE Is Our Medicine. How to Heal with Loving Presence and Hugging Meditations by Nils Klippstein - HTML preview

5. Meditative Embraces

"We've already explored standing hugs in our welcome and goodbye rituals," Taran said a few days later. "This helped us to feel comfortable with one another and strengthen our energy flows. If you feel ready for the next step, let's try some longer hugging meditations with different postures that encourage different types of presence and energy circulation."

Selena felt ready and eager to explore further. Taran gestured for her to sit on the comfortable mat. "Let's begin with the Embrace of Trust," he suggested, sitting on a sturdy cushion behind her.

He showed Selena how to rest her back against his chest and nestle between his legs, feeling his grounded stability. He placed one hand gently over her heart and the other on her lower belly. Selena closed her eyes and relaxed her spine against his chest, breathing deeply as she felt her stomach rise and fall under Taran's warm hands. She felt truly supported, and a primal sense of safety and surrender welled up inside her which felt deeply healing.

The subtle tensions of her repressed sense of wholeness and her fears of being 'too much' began to dissolve. She felt supported, as if her hidden burdens were acknowledged and cared for. His steady hands on her heart and belly simply held the space, an act of loving kindness, allowing Luma to expand vibrantly around them both. His hands created an anchor, pulling her into a deep state of self-acceptance.

After a while, Taran shifted his body slightly. "Now, if you like, let's explore the Yab Yum posture," he said, guiding her to sit facing him in his lap with her legs gently wrapped around his waist. This felt different; it was more intimate, a deeper merging. As they settled, Selena focused on her heart chakra breathing, inhaling and exhaling LOVE and light. Their energy centres, the sacrum, belly and heart, aligned, sparking a silent dialogue of inner balance and healing.

Selena felt Elys sparkling within her entire body, more vibrant than ever before. She became acutely aware of their trusting intimacy, feeling a subtle physical stirring within herself, a natural response to the intensity of their connection. This was sensual blossoming, a sign of strong energetic flow. Taran had taught her to accept this without shame or the need for further physical enticement. She observed it, accepting it as part of the energetic exchange, letting the energies balance and circulate.

Their individual energetic fields began to intertwine and merge, a silent, deep dialogue between their astral bodies. Selena felt a deep sense of astral oneness as their chakras communicated and came into harmony. Layers of old, unspoken sadness seemed to melt away, replaced by deep inner peace and gratitude. Their auras of Yin and Yang energies merged to form a luminous bubble of shared, experienced consciousness, filling the space around them.

This was a deeply healing embrace that trans­cended the physical, leaving Selena feeling liberated and empowered. As time seemed to slow down and her thoughts quietened, Selena knew that this was a significant step in her journey: a powerful experi­ence of sensual freedom in its purest form. She was no longer merely learning about these concepts; she was embodying them and experiencing the tangible healing power of LOVE.
