Welcome to Midnight Confessions. I’m your host, LQ.
This episode is about giving back what is possible. I want to give back what is possible. I want to, in a way, erase what you think sex and intimacy are. I want you to erase it from your mind. I want you to just stop thinking about what you think it could be, what it is, thinking about the past, thinking about the outcomes.
We are so focused on the experiences we’ve had that we forget to reconnect to ourselves again.
When I do my tantric work with my clients, I take the time to listen to what they need in that moment. And you know what I always find? People, people everywhere, deserve a reboot, a reconnection to themselves. Whether it's individually or with a partner or partners, we all deserve to start again. To reboot. To not worry about what happened in the past. Not worrying about what sex and intimacy were then.
People think it’s not possible to have an orgasm. It’s not possible to feel sensual, sexy, or confident. They think, “I’ve lost this. I’ve lost that feeling.” But I can tell you now, with all the clients I’ve connected with and continue to teach, it all comes back to this, the possibility of that returning. The possibility of that connection again.
The possibility of feeling back into your body from a single touch. Feeling a breath against your skin. Having someone observe your body with their eyes and truly see you, like, “Wow, they’re really looking at me. They really see me.”
In all my sessions, I allow my eyes to observe the body, to see how it moves, how it flows, how it connects. The beauty of it. Because we don’t do that anymore. We don’t stop and look in the mirror. We don’t stop to look at each other. We rush through everything in life. And that’s in everything, not just the bedroom.
I do this work because you all deserve this beautiful intimacy again in your life. You deserve to feel what it’s like to be touched, to be sensual, to be sexy, to be confident, to feel connected to your body again. You deserve to be seen, heard, and felt.
With Tantra, everything rises and brings you back into the present moment. The more you practice it, the clearer it becomes. It becomes easier for your body to be in that moment, for yourself. Whether you’re by yourself or with a partner or partners, you deserve the possibility of that connection. Allowing your body to be with you again.
I am beyond passionate about what I do because of you. Because of every single person who comes to see me, whether individually or as a couple. You are my reason for doing this work.
Seeing you smile, seeing you feel safe, comfortable, warm, and loved, before, during, and after a session. Seeing that connection, that possibility, because intimacy is more than just sex. It’s sitting, listening, talking. It’s allowing fingers, nails, skin, voice, and breath to melt together while everything else around you fades away.
That is why I do this work. Because of you. Because you all deserve the possibility of pure, loving intimacy again.
Tantra changed my life. And every time I meet with a new or returning client, it continues to change lives, opening up more possibilities.
My clients often ask me, “How do you do what you do? How do you create that space?” And the answer is simple, I listen. I pay attention to your body, your voice, your breathing. I pay attention to what you need. Because I want to create the possibility of pure intimacy and love.
Because you all deserve it. Every single one of you deserves the possibility of intimacy and love.
So I’m asking you, right now, in this moment, to think about your intimacy. Is your intimacy filled with love?
Just sit with that question. And ask yourself, would you change it? Would you take the risk to change it, to open yourself to the possibility of intimacy and love?
If the answer is yes, find a tantric practitioner. And know this, every practitioner is different. We all teach differently. We all offer different experiences. I’m different from others I know, and that’s the beauty of it. You get to experience something unique.
But I can tell you this, based on what my clients say, there’s always a sense of “wow.” A feeling of “is that even possible?” And they leave feeling like they’re on cloud nine.
But you have to let go. You have to be open to the possibility of intimacy and love.
So I dare you to ask yourself that question. Do you have that experience? And do you want to?
I dare you to discover that for yourself today.
XOXO,
LQ
