Sensuous Meditation
Camille Maurine & Lorin Roche, Ph.D.

According to my guests, Camille Maurine and Lorin Roche, meditation is the practice of falling in love with life. In love, we pay attention with heightened appreciation. There are many instictive moments in life that border on meditation and can serve as gateways to that state: sitting in a comfortable chair, snuggling in bed, gazing at the horizon, being at the beach feeling the breeze and smelling the ocean, a warm bath by candlelight, taking a walk, praying, inhaling the smell of delicious food, drinking a cup of coffee, making love, waking up after a good night's sleep. These moments can become meditative practices that help you to stay tuned into your true self and deepest values. (MORE)

Author of: "Sex, Love & Dharma: Finding Love Without Losing Your Way"

From Longing to Belonging
Arthur Jeon

How do we find our true love without losing our way? How do we rise to love after falling into it?

It's hard to sustain a long-term relationship if we are looking outside ourselves for love. Most of the decisions we make are based on a cocktail of fear, desire, lonliness and projection (all which are a result of our conditioning). Everything changes when we treat love as a verb in our lives. Our true nature is love. It is not about seeking it, but being it. When we understand that the currency of love is available all the time, supporting everything we do, every single moment is an opportunity to give love, and tap into the flow of it. (MORE)
