Most of us are forced to numb our senses as we grow up due to continuous overstimulation; undigested hurts and trauma; realities seemingly too painful to digest; constant stress or simply the lack of role models or time and space to stay fully open. It’s our natural state. When our senses are awake, we feel alive. And yet, many of us have to relearn to do so.

This fun and accessible partner exercise will help you on this journey.

You and your beloved will both need to gather two random, secret itmes to stimulate each of the senses – smell, taste, touch, sound – plus a blindfold as the sense of sight will be obmitted in order to activate the others even more. The rest is explained in the short and descriptive instructional video.

You can take just ten minutes for the exercise, or you can draw it out to a full hour and be open to what unfolds.
