Can this game be played by good friends?
Yes. Love Springs are important in all types of love to enhance relationship. Even though written in a romantic style, this game can be played by friends, too. Just take out and put aside any highly romantic Catalyst Cards from the deck when you play.
I advise gentle caution playing this with a friend if even a little sensual energy present. Playing the game can amplify any sexual feelings quite easily.
Sacred Union is very profound when experienced non-sexually. A hug with a male friend at a retreat turned into a 20 minute bliss-filled hug, Sacred Union. Amazing! (Yes, but a bit awkward later…what do you say to him the next day!)
Is this game for non-heterosexuals, too?
Yes. Just alter any designations or directions for “male” or “female” as you choose.
What’s the difference physically…between a Love Spring that’s flowing & one that’s not?
Simply, when the relationship within one of your Love Springs (or between two Love Springs) is flowing, you’ll find the signs of ‘being more alive’ in the physical area where they meet. When they’re not relating well, not flowing, you’ll find signs of decreased aliveness…the area feels ‘more dead’!
Signs of coming alive: Heat, even sweat, will appear. Living things create heat, dead things don’t. Deepening breath, surging ease, unwinding movements & rich feelings may occur. Living things breathe, move & feel, dead things don’t. The area will soften; vibrancy emerges like the blossoms of Spring. Living things are soft & filled with energy, dead things are rigid, lifeless & empty. Look for these signs in your body, in your relationships, and when you are doing the Chakra-Chakra!
What is Sacred Union?
Sacred Union is a shared, timeless experience of unification, rapture & evolution. It occurs as two people both have full Productive & Illumination Currents with seven flowing & connected Love Springs. A harmonized & integrated energetic circuit is created activating the Unification Currents within & between both partners bringing Sacred Union. The Bliss of Sacred Union may occur at the height of sexual ecstasy, in a hug or during a quiet walk down the lane.
Wasn’t Shakti the earth goddess? How is it the female River begins in the heavens?
When the female is fully embodied…flowing from the divine heavens into the divine earth…she is the earth goddess! Shakti represents the fully embodied feminine.
Shiva, as the transcendent “masculine,” represents the male enlightened, physical man expanding from the earth into the heavens: Or, even more powerfully, the energy of Shiva is also the female who has embodied and is now blasting off back into the sky
