I first felt the incredible flow of blissful body sensations during the first periods I did yoga. I was in good shape, having been running a lot, but it seems I�d not really been much aware of what was going on inside my body. The yoga teacher was an elderly indian woman who could hardly do the asanas, but after each position she had us do the corpse pose (lying down flat on our backs fully relaxed into the floor). And it worked well for me � my body came alive to the simple intense pleasure associated with relaxed awareness of the body. The most important part of yoga for me was this doing nothing except being aware of my body in a relaxed way. This has continued for me, the depth of this connection varies with how stable my meditation practice is, and it is a familiar part of my day both in meditation and whenever I want. For example, yesterday I was at the courtyard across from the embarcadero ferries and had some time so I stretched out on a small concrete wall; even though I was lying on hard stone the soft dissolving sensations provided enough comfort because my body was filled with a flow of dissolving sensations, pleasurable. I have been aware of the value of this simple connection to my body for a long time, but perhaps not so aware of the ways in which it has conditioned my living a solitary life. Although I certainly never decided to do it, I�ve been more or less content not being intimate with others physically. I�ve probably found my way to this bulletin board because curious how much it can be shared in sex.The explosiveness of orgasm draws me from time to time, but really doesn�t compare with the subtler ongoing awareness of dissolving sensations within the body. Although I�ve had good sexual relationships I�ve never really felt much freedom to do nothing (or almost nothing) in sex.
