The feeling of love is a rich feeling, but the expression of love in word or deed is a joy.
Without awareness of bodily feeling and attitude, a person becomes split into a disembodied spirit and a disenchanted body.
A person who doesn't breathe deeply reduces the life of his body. If he doesn't move freely, he restricts the life of his body. If he doesn't feel fully, he narrows the life of his body. And if his self-expression is constricted, he limits the life of his body.
Sexuality is not a leisure or part-time activity. It is a way of being.
