When two people come together in breath, something beyond the individual begins to emerge. Breath becomes the bridge. The conduit. The pulse of “we.” The outside world ceases to exist and all that is present is the love that exists between two individuals, moved by the pulse of life itself.
As a solo practice, the three-part breath grounds, expands, and opens the body to presence. But when shared with a partner, it becomes a powerful tool for attunement — a way to listen, to soften, to offer your breath as a gift. In that shared space, love stops being something you talk about and becomes something you feel, moment to moment.
In this 54-minute guided practice from The Art of Sacred Intimacy (Austin, 2025), John leads you into a deep, breath-centered intimacy ritual. Together, you will explore the three-part breath to synchronize your nervous systems, awaken the field of connection, and enter the sacred space of “We Are.”

This is not breathwork for performance — it is breathwork for presence. For feeling more of your partner, and offering more of yourself.
Practice setup: Sit facing your partner. You can be on chairs or seated comfortably on the floor with cushions to support you.
Three-Part Breath: Draw breath first into the belly, then the diaphragm, then the chest — all the way to the collarbones — as you ground into your pelvic floor. Exhale from the chest, then diaphragm, then belly, emptying completely before beginning again.

We recommend exploring the three-part breath as a solo daily practice to support and deepen your experience in this partner practice.

Three-Part Breath: In the three-part breath, you will pull your breath into your body, filling up first your abdomen, then your diaphragm, followed by your chest. Pull the breath all the way up to your collarbones and press down into your pelvic floor. On the exhale, begin releasing the breath from your chest, followed by your diaphragm, and finally emptying your abdomen completely before beginning again.
