Mythic Love Practices

As counselors of thousands of couples over the years, one of the realities which each of us saw is that people have lost their access to love. For the most part they are getting in a relation”ship” with each other, blasting off into space, and forgetting to keep their attention on what fuels the ship. What starts off as erotic attraction morphs into living together and paying the bills, going to dinner or watching movies to experience pleasure and then trying to access their sexuality without having fueled their erotic love. When problems get sufficiently difficult, they go to counselors to try to “talk their difficulties out”, but talk can rarely return one to eros.

One of the most exciting realities of Mythic Love is that it is built upon physical practices which are real, reproducible and have obvious effects. They give people ways to be together mythically through the body and, because they happen through the body, they are felt by the body, maintaining a consistent supply of emotional /erotic fuel to your love.

If a couple is fortunate enough to begin their relationship through exploring the practices, their relationship builds a vitality it would not otherwise have. If a couple turns to the practices, even after years of not relating this way, they have the possibility of recovering their “felt” sense of love and a clear pathway to sustaining it.

Besides that, they’re fun! Retiring to Sacred Space with each other, laying down to Eyegaze, experiencing and seeing the beauty of your bodies in Exquisite Engagement, relaxing with the simple pleasure of Hand Dance, practicing Mythic Perception and Mythic Embrace - all of these feed the soul at the archetypal level and relax the psyche’s need for emotional/connective experience. Psychic development is fed in a way that is restorative and regenerative to the health of the psyche. They provide the psyche with a felt experience of belonging, safety, love, connection and natural integration.

It is easy to recognize that if a person “works out” even 15 minutes a day, they have a healthier body than the person who does not. So it is with Mythic Love Practices - feeding your love with 15 minutes of archetypal connection each day is like feeding the roots of a plant. The nourishment filters up to whatever is needed,. Also, because they are not sexual, couples have much more access to them. They are a meeting place - not “her” thing, not “his” thing, not a compromise, it’s another place.

“Going Mythic” takes you out of judgment or critic to a higher level where there is more possibility. In the mundane mind one can get lost in the illusion of separateness and other - when you “Go Mythic”, you return to the recognition of oneness and Divinity. Your soul resets to wholeness.
