Love Notes from
Kissing School!
June 2010

Sharing tenderness?
"The most powerful symptom
of love
is a tenderness which
becomes at times
almost
insupportable."
Victor Hugo

|
|
 Reminders
from Kissing School, Seven
Lessons on Love, Lips & Life
Force
Be-foreplay
Remember that the whole day
is foreplay for loving,
and that we can deliver
the loving only when
we've actually been
cultivating love's presence
in our body. Is love flowing
through you now? You may
need tenderizing.
We Get Stuck
Chronic tension patterns are
the prison bars of our Inner
Lover. Tension in the body
decreases the flow of energy
and blocks the subtle
bioelectrical currents that
we need to feel in order to
artfully circulate
passionate energy.
Get good massages, practice
yoga, or do frequent
stretching of any kind. You
actually have to wake
yourself up in the midst
of holding on in
order to free yourself.
Help Each Other
Couple massages
are a wonderful way to
cultivate intimacy. Whether
it's a ten-minute shoulder
rub, a foot massage, or a
full body meltdown that
lasts for hours, a massage
opens us to the possibility
of being more present and
receptive to a deeper
sharing. We relax, our
breath and tense body
expand, the awareness in our
skin is revivified, and we
fee much more in touch.
Couples Massage is
fun and easy to learn. Come
for 2-4 hour lessons with
Cherie. It will change your
life forever.

Kissing
School!
 Intentional
eye gazing is a
wonderful practice for
building a depth of
connection and trust
between lovers.By deeply
seeing your beloved, and
being seen by them, you're
energetically weaving
yourself into each other,
cultivating Oneness and
touching each other's soul.
Forgotten How?
If it's time for some
re-connection lessons,
come to Kissing School.
Get a babysitter, bring
your blankie and meet
your beloved in a deep,
rich new way. Remember
what you once knew.
Expand the possibilities
of intimacy. Ignite the
chemistry of deep,
resonant connection and
have some luscious fun
together.

Fearless Manifesting!
 Transformational
community series for
harvesting the energy of
fear and creating our
heart's desires.
Fear is the place where we
will not transform.
Ignoring or pushing our
fears away keeps us stuck in
those realities. What we
resist persists.
Do you know that it
is possible to transform the
energy of fear itself?
Humans are designed to be
conduits of energy, a
flowing, full, rich,
abundant, joyful
presence. However, most of
us live in a spiral of lack
and disempowerment in some
area of our experience.
We can transform
this together
Our intellectual concepts
about change do not actually
generate change. Change
requires a quantum of energy
to transform to a more
resonant, coherent field.
When we connect with each
other, holding similar
intents, we activate this
quantum leap with the
exponential power of our
conjoined fields. The more
of us joining together, the
larger the exponential
potential for generating a
change in our daily reality.
Are you in?

Fear Limits Possibilities
Are you aware dreading
something diminishes energy,
limits possibilities and can create a
mentality of impoverishment?
Do you realize the fear
of disease may weaken coherence and may
cripple a body's ability to
establish well-being?
Do you get feeling
lonely or playing lonely versions of a
future time is guaranteed to generate
more future scenarios filled with what
is practiced?
Fear is a place from
which you can transform.
Ignoring or pushing
fears away keeps realities stuck.
What we resist persists.
It is possible to transform the energy
of these common fears.
|
|
|
Flowing Energy?
 Humans
are designed to be conduits of energy, a
flowing, full, rich, abundant, joyful, presence.
What we often experience is an impoverished,
stagnant, scattered and shut down energy field.
It can be filled with limiting beliefs backed up
by previous experiences that directly relate to
holding us in place.
Many
live in a spiral of lack and disempowerment in
some area of our experience. This affects our
lives and everything else.
What we believe and do or do not take action on,
in the smallest aspect of our life impacts
everything on the planet. |
|
The
Power of Community Activation
 You
may know all of this and still feel incapable of
changing a thing.
This is why we need intentional community,
to generate the energy needed to shift.
Our intellectual concepts about change do
not actually generate change.
Change requires a quantum of energy to
transform and create a more resonant,
coherent field.
When
we connect with others, holding similar
intent, we activate this quantum leap with
the exponential power!
The more of us joining together, the larger
the exponential power for generating a
change in daily reality.
|
|
Bring
your lack, your fears, stuckness, dis-ease,
 your
soul's hunger and join in community with
others to harness and transform energy
patterns holding the sorrows in place.
Is
it time to open to flow, power, love, safety,
ease and abundance?
No matter
what, we will expand in these evolutionary
times.
Which
patterns are you choosing to expand? |

Kissing School
presents~~
|
|
|
|
|
A client came to me last week looking for small rituals with
which she could re-direct her life toward a more spiritual,
authentic, in-the-NOW experience. We practiced several
exercises for cultivating her enriched day, and I added one
more just before she left. I took my Kissing School
book off the shelf and read her the last couple of pages. I
want to share it with you as well.
Putting Love on the List
I was sitting outside the market one day,
quickly trying to remember the items on the grocery list
that I'd left at home. I closed my eyes and waited for my
mind to focus and gather the information. The message that
came to mind rushed through my body, leaving shivers and
goose bumps. It said, "Put love on the List."
"Oh yeah, I'll pick some up," I thought. "I
think I saw it on the bread aisle."
I closed my eyes again. The message repeated,
only louder: "Put love on the list!"
Well, that got my attention, but it took
another few moments until I understood what was being asked
of me. It was if all the ingredients for a rich and luscious
love life were to be collected along with the Swiss chard
and the yogurt. I was instructed to write down my groceries,
and every second or third item was to be a "quality of
loving" that I'd like to have more of. I was going to the
market for love and dinner. Swiss chard, apples, and
appreciation. I was not to leave the fruit stand until I
allowed myself to experience a full measure of appreciation,
right then-for any ol' thing!
OK, that felt good. Now: honey, almond butter,
and joy. "Feeeeel the joy coursing through your body. See
how it lightens your load, Cherie" Oh yeah!
I gathered up milk and sensual breathing;
salmon, mustard, and the feeling of snuggling; tea, cat
food, and the sense of lingering kisses all over my body.
Who knew grocery shopping could be so yummy?
Long before I reached the surprised cashier, I
was radiant and grinning all over my body. That feeling
lasted for hours, and I'm sure the food was imbued with
magical powers by then.
I found out later that I could add love to all
my lists: the to-do lists, phone call lists, lists of
household repairs. It's a sneaky, fun, and profound way to
cultivate the experience of loving, every day, any ol'
where.
It was an excellent end to the session since this woman is a
lover of lists, and I savored the moment. I reminded my own
self to put the love back on my forgotten lists as I closed
up my office, got into my car and started wandering home.

Peace, Love and Thriving, a
Resonance Re-set Group Meetings
I didn't get very far down the road before I was listening
to my inner guidance outlining a new inter-active group
meditation for me to facilitate. Most inspirations I'm given
feel optional, this message had an urgency and a kind of
BIGness to it, and I was told to pull over and get out my
pen and paper. OK, what's the deal?
I felt like I had come to a counsel of beings and they had a
mission for me. (I don't think I've ever gotten a "mission"
before, grin). I won't really get paid much for it, but what
I need for essentials like snacks and venue will be offered,
it's simply something I have to offer that will assist us
all at this time. Are you as curious as I was??
What I was told is that humanity needs some assistance
re-setting their emotional/creative set-point. There is so
much fear in our energy fields at this time that even the
most casual of thoughts about scarcity, traumatic weather,
wars or any other topic hooks to this dense collective field
of fear and readily sucks us into a dark and gloomy funk.
It's essential that we re-calibrate our fields to
resonate with that which we DO want to experience
if we don't want to actually manifest that which we fear.
The first re-calibration session needs to be before the
coming election. Voting from fear never brings us what we
desire.
I listened, and I wrote, and I saw that it was no mistake
that I had read the story about Putting Love on the List
tonight. Spirit is such an elegant orchestrator!
Here's the gift I offer you now.
Putting Peace, Love, and
Thriving on the list
The first Monday evening of each month, beginning with
November 3rd, an evolving group of loving, thriving
peacenics will gather together from 7-9:30 pm to
re-calibrate our neuro nets, DNA, hormones, cellular
receptors, energy, hearts and minds to the frequencies of
Love, Peace, and Thriving.
|
An evening of cultivating the energy
The meeting has several components;
1) After introductions we'll spend the first 15-30
minutes doing embodiment practices to anchor and ground us
in our bodies, open our hearts and relax with each other.
This activates our individual and group presence.
2) Each willing participant presents a topical piece they've
discovered: an article, book quote, poem, sonnet, song,
awakening, personal experience, vision, dream, visual
representation, aromatherapy, whatever, on the topic of
either: Peace, Love, or Thriving, engendering a small
conversation from their presentation. We will savor the
various resonances of peace, love and thriving like sipping
on the elixir of life. (Accompanied by snacks & tea)
3) I will lead the group in an energy meditation that was
taught me by my guidance in the mid 70's, an old favorite
you may know as the Spoke meditation. This meditation has
the effect of creating a group brew for embodying the energy
and steeping us in the vibrations. Not only will we be
focusing on the core energies but several of the facets of
each energy as well, building a sub-system of frequencies
that support and expand the web of well-being.
4) During the next month we will be seeking out another
presentation piece to bring, staying open to the experience
of, and realigning to the vibration of these qualities. We
can also be emailing each other with links to pieces we'd
like to share, and I'll be posting some of our favorites on
the monthly newsletter. We will be putting love, peace and
thriving on the lists of our lives and offering it to the
world at large.
