Disclaimer and Warning
In our experience, the exercises and techniques in this book can, if practised regularly, have a beneficial effect on your mental, emotional and physical health.
However, the ideas, suggestions and techniques we describe are not intended as a substitute for medical advice; we do not provide diagnoses or suggest medication for any medical condition. If you have an existing medical condition, you should consult a physician before undertaking any of the physical exercises.
Please note that you may need to make changes in your life and relationship to allow Sexual Energy to flow and be a force for healing and development. In the process you will, most likely, be unable to avoid examining and dealing with some uncomfortable issues. This comes with the territory. Please proceed gently and with respect for yourself and your partner’s ability to handle new information and skills. If at anytime you feel unsure or uncertain, simply slow down or stop. It may be the case that your mind and emotions need to catch up with your body or vice versa. On the other hand, it may be possible that you have stirred up something very deep and you may find that you’re having difficulty dealing with an issue. In such a case you may want to consult a professional therapist.
Application of the concepts and exercises described in this book is at your, the reader’s, sole discretion and risk.
