Exercise 2
Through
the
Looking Glass
Making love to yourself is an art. Explore the possibilities. The next exercise is very simple. Make love to yourself in front of a mirror. Look into your eyes and watch the fire in them as you pleasure yourself.
As simple as this exercise may be, it will be very difficult for some people. If this exercise is difficult for you, start slowly. Begin by just looking at your naked body in the mirror. A full-length mirror is best, but even the bathroom mirror will do. Take the time to discover beauty in your own body. The eyes are the windows to the soul. Take the time to look deeply into your eyes and become more aware of the truth they reveal to you.
Write down your feelings and thoughts about this experience in a journal. If this experience makes you aware of ways in which you would like to improve your appearance, set goals and write them down. You may decide to go to the gym or become a platinum blonde.
Experiment. Bring your favorite fetish to the mirror with you when you make love to yourself. Wear your favorite sexy underwear, your stilettos, your leather gear, your latex, your fatigues, a feather boa, fish net stockings, sunglasses, suck on cigar…whatever gets you going and takes you higher. The sky is the limit. Just don’t be boring, please.
Make it interesting. Light candles. Play sensual music. Wear your favorite scent. Dim the lights. Fill the room with flowers. Enjoy yourself.
When you are ready, invite someone to join you. Make love together in front of the mirror. Then look into your lover’s eyes. Watch the rise and fall of ecstasy in them. Feel the rhythm of ecstasy rise and fall within you as you look into your lover’s eyes.
Celebrate the beauty of all that you are. Create beauty through pleasure. Making love is an art. The love comes from within you. Let it shine.
