 Few
people realize the power of experiential exercises. Fewer still know
how to make full use of them.
But those
who do are able to unlock the reservoirs of positive energy present
in their body. They feel healthier in body, in mind, and in soul.
They are able to drive negative thoughts and negativity from their
minds and their surroundings.
Most important, they radiate positive energy when they reach out to
others, energy that helps them build stronger and more intimate
relationships. There is a spring and bounce in their steps; they do
not get depressed easily; and they learn to enjoy life much more
than others.
Experiential workshops
There are several groups that hold week or month-long experiential
workshops where they teach breathing and body exercises. Most of
these are group exercises, and an individual is required to follow
the group leader or the trainer. Some of these workshops are
residential, where the participants are provided healthy food to
cleanse their systems of toxins. The experience invariably is
explosive; participants go in as tired, stressed out individuals but
come out full of energy.
The exercises are backed by healing sessions which are aimed to
dissolve fears, guilt and shame about sex. Most of the messages are
conveyed through movement, music, creative art, breathing exercises
hypnotherapy, and meditation. There is a feeling of intimacy and
playful sharing. Individuals not only get to know their bodies
better but how to use it to derive greater pleasure.
Breathing exercises and meditation
The object of breathing exercises and meditation is to drive out
toxins and negative feelings from the body and generate positive
energy. Both perform this task in their own way. The breathing
exercises drive out carbon dioxide from the body, and replace it
with oxygen. The cells, which were battling with carbon dioxide
earlier, get a flood of oxygen to breathe. They get energized and
the chemical reactions occurring in them get a new life; they
generate more energy that make individuals feel all charged up,
alert, energetic and raring to go.
Meditation, on the other hand, relaxes the body muscles and removes
stress. It also drives away negative thoughts and forces individuals
to focus on positive images. An individual feels relaxed and
content. He finds it easier to deal with partners, and the day to
day stresses and strains of life. He does not get worked up, and
enjoys whatever he does.
His love life improves because he can bring much more to the
relationship. There is greater intimacy, and there is greater give
and take. The individual is not in a hurry; he wants to cherish each
moment of his love life.
The soft touches
The teachers of experiential exercises encourage soft touches or
activities that touch the senses. That is why the experiential
exercises are conducted against a background of soft music, which is
all the time washing against the bodies of participants, cleansing
them, touching emotional chords, making them feel better.
The participants are also asked to draw. This is a great way for the
unconscious mind to express itself. The trainer gets a chance to see
the individual’s inner feelings, the thoughts that first come to
participant’s mind. It’s another way to purge negative thoughts by
making the individual aware of what his subconscious mind is
thinking.
Self-acceptance
Experiential exercises train us in self-acceptance. They make us
realize that a healthy body is the gateway to a healthy mind, and a
healthy soul. They make us accept ourselves as we are, and turn us
into better human beings. This, in itself, is a great achievement.
Our lives improve several-fold the day we learn to be at peace with
ourselves.
But all this will not happen in an instant. It takes years of
training to move from the physical to the spiritual level.
Individuals need to be patient. They must understand that they need
to cleanse their body and mind of all negativity – which means
thoughts and acts pertaining to pain, violence, jealousy, hate,
anger, dislike etc – before they can move to a higher level.
This should not, however, dampen their enthusiasm. Instead they
should celebrate the coming together of body, heart and soul. They
will find that they are better able to internalize the pleasures of
love. They can reach out to their partners more fully, and bring
more fulfillment to their sexual lives.
The union of bodies will not generate any feelings of shame or guilt
because the experiential exercises would have purged these feelings.
There is more joy, and more intimacy in each union.
So, if you have not felt the power of experiential exercises till
now you should try to do so. It is an activity that has the
potential to change your life -- forever.
