From Heart of Intimacy by Kypris Aster Drake:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Spirit Lover is one way to start anchoring you to a more positive and consistent experience of a partner. This guide can hold you and be with you when physical partners can\u2019t, and is available 24 hours a day for your support. The Spirit Lover can also teach you about intimacy by helping you discover what it is like to connect with another being when you feel fully safe, accepted, and understood. The Spirit Lover helps you practice intimate relating so you can then create a healthy, happy, and heart-open human relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allow about one hour for this practice. The journey itself is short, but you will want time afterward to write about this experience and integrate your feelings about it. It may help to record the steps of the journey that are given here, or you can use the companion audio recording to guide you. You can repeat this journey as often as you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare yourself for this journey by turning off your phone and making sure you won\u2019t be disturbed. You can lie down on your bed or on a mattress or yoga mat on the floor. It is nice to cover yourself with a blanket to provide a sense of security and comfort, so that you can relax more deeply. You may wish to put on some shamanic drumming music in the background, to help you go deeper into this meditation. (I highly recommend the Shamanic Journey Drumming mp3 recording by Katie Weatherup, on the Amazon music app)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\ude76 Once you are comfortable, begin by taking three long deep breaths, in through your mouth and out through your nose. With each exhale, let your body relax more and more, letting yourself melt down into the surface you are lying on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\ude76 Imagine now that you are going to a secret garden that is only for you to visit. This is a private and safe place where you can go to be refreshed and meet with your guides. Let your garden have within it whatever brings you joy: any flowers, trees, plants, grasses, fountains, animals that you like. Really make it yours and feel that you get to say who is and is not welcome here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\ude76 Issue an invitation for your Spirit Lover to join you here. Set the intention and feel this being come immediately in answer to your call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\ude76 When the Spirit Lover arrives, don\u2019t worry if you have trouble visualizing their appearance at first. Just relax and spend some time getting to know each other. You can talk, make love, play together, or do anything else that feels good to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\ude76 When you are finished, thank your Spirit Lover and ask how you can call them to you in ordinary reality. You may be given special words to use, a whistle, a hand signal, or some other form of communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\ude76 Come back slowly and gently to ordinary reality and make some notes about your encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\ude76 In the days to come, invite your Spirit Lover into your daily life. You may ask them to hold you while you sleep, to go with you when you travel out into the world, or to help heal your heart. No request is too bizarre for the Spirit Lover. You may also choose to repeat this journey frequently to get to know your Spirit Lover better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
