Our bodies get filled up with so much undigested material. Grief, fear, longing.
Eros is the heat that can melt it all into rich and beautiful meaning. To encounter this heat is to journey inward, passing through initial resistance and tension, the restless energies and impulses that prompt us to grasp externally for reassurance. Instead of reaching outward, we dive into the body’s inner landscape, feeling every subtle sensation, scent, and heartbeat with deliberate attention.
This heat arises as we slow down, abandoning haste for meticulous curiosity. As attention deepens, the tight bud of insecurity softens, releasing waves of electrified sensation throughout the body. A vibrant, concentrated aliveness emerges, shifting us from static tension into a fluid state, rich and expansive.
