Do you feel a disconnect between having a relaxed nervous system and stoking the fires of passion in your relationship? Does it seem as though deep relaxation and erotic energy exist on opposite ends of a spectrum—one requiring surrender and softness, the other requiring intensity and desire? The truth is, they are not separate. There is an art to blending these forces, to inhabiting a body that is both deeply at ease and fully alive with passion.

Relaxation in the nervous system comes from surrender—an allowance of what is, an openness to the moment. Passion, on the other hand, requires ignition, a stirring of desire, a willingness to bring yearning and depth forward. To hold both simultaneously is to master the space of this and—a place where safety and intensity, stillness and fire, co-exist and fuel one another.

In this 49-minute practice from Fierce Love (Austin, 2024), John guides participants into deep nervous system relaxation while simultaneously awakening the fires of passion and desire.

If you are ready to explore the dynamic tension between relaxation and arousal, and to cultivate a presence that allows both to move through you, this practice will offer a framework for embodying this and—one of the most potent forces in intimacy and in life.

If you have a question about this practice or any of the content in The Embodied Relationship Experience, we highly encourage you to bring it to John during one of our monthly Office Hours calls that are included with your membership.
