This video is part of a series about an event called Cuddle Sanctuary. Cuddle Sanctuary is a three-hour experience. It begins with a short workshop and finishes with a long stretch of relaxing hang-out time. The star of the show is safe, consensual touch.
First, keep checking in with yourself. Ask yourself these questions:
How am I feeling right now?
What do I need right now?
What would feel good right now?
This will help you stay attentive to your own needs. At a social gathering, it can be easy to put all of our attention on the needs of others. Checking in with oneself is a great way to find a healthy balance with that. It’s also a reminder that Cuddle Sanctuary is meant to be a gift for you – like going to a spa.
A second way to make the most of your Cuddle Sanctuary experience is to release expectations. A wise person once said that expectations are precursors to disappointment. Let go of what you think might happen, shed any worries about what might not happen, just allow it all to fall away so you can pay attention to what actually is happening. That way you won’t miss a fascinating moment!
A third tip is to ask for what you want. If you’ve always wanted to have your shoulders and feet massaged at the same time, this is your chance to ask for that. Or if you’ve never experienced being spooned with someone in front of and behind you, Cuddle Sanctuary is a place where these types of yummy dreams come true.
Ask!
