1 00:00:05,124 --> 00:00:06,600 Hello and welcome. 2 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:12,500 Thank you for signing up for this course. Congratulations in taking a 3 00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:18,300 step on your journey of sexual exploration, and investing in your own 4 00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:25,100 growth and pleasure. This course is structured as follows: this 5 00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:30,000 introduction chapter covers some basic practical details - setting up 6 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,200 your space, comfortable positions to sit in, things like that. The 7 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,900 Foundations of Touch introduces the idea of relaxed giving and active 8 00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:47,400 receiving, some tools to play with the to help you to relax and feel as 9 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,700 much as possible during a massage. 10 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,600 Once those basics are covered 11 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,900 there's a bit of theory giving you a simple insight into the anatomy 12 00:00:57,900 --> 00:01:04,099 of your genitals, and an exercise to physically explore them. Finally 13 00:01:04,099 --> 00:01:10,300 over an hour of video teaching on techniques and ways to touch 14 00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:16,700 genitals with love, confidence and presence so that your receiving 15 00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:25,100 partner can trust, relax and enjoy the abundance of pleasure, arousal 16 00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:27,100 and sensations in their body. 17 00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:34,800 I encourage you to try out, practice and get familiar with each 18 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:41,200 technique in turn. The video teaching is organised into chapters, which 19 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:47,000 cover different areas of the genitals. Once you've explored these 20 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,300 there's an option to follow along with the full massage sequence 21 00:01:51,300 --> 00:02:00,200 in real-time: a delicious hour of stroking, caressing, stimulating, arousing, 22 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:07,000 relaxing touch. When the touch techniques become familiar to your hands you can 23 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,000 start to play with you and your partner's favourites: move between them, 24 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,200 mix them up, leave out the ones that your partner doesn't enjoy so much, 25 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:24,300 blend them into your own individual and unique choreography. 26 00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:34,000 This is a practical hands-on course focused on exploring and expanding 27 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,600 your capacity for sensation. I also encourage you to talk, share and 28 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:46,300 reflect on your experiences with a partner, or via the comment sections 29 00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:53,000 on the course, to also enhance your cognitive understanding and learning. So 30 00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:00,300 this is a somatic learning experience - body and mind. Somatic learning 31 00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:06,100 is not purely theoretical - you will not learn new erotic practices 32 00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:11,800 just by watching a video. You'll learn by watching and then involving 33 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:19,300 your body. Somatic learning involves conscious practice over time. No one 34 00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:23,200 learns to play an instrument or sport overnight. 35 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,000 No one learns new 36 00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:31,300 ways of being sexual in one viewing of a video. Learning involves 37 00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:37,900 muscular and neurological growth, which take time and practice. 38 00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:45,400 So, follow the videos, try out the different techniques and then switch 39 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,800 off the screen and continue your practice. Come back to the videos on 40 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,900 subsequent days: 41 00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:58,100 maybe explore the next chapter. Come back to the videos regularly over 42 00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:06,000 the months, years, decades, but always with an accompaniment of focused 43 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,600 embodied practice. 44 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:15,000 I hope that you enjoy your learning experience with Touch Of Happiness 45 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,500 Massage School and I look forward to engaging with you in the process.
