A Partner Ritual of Giving & Receiving
Sweetness, breath, silk, and attentive touch
Prepare your space with intention. Candlelight, low music, and soft mulberry silks beneath and around you. Create comfort and beauty in the place where you will sit together.
Before you guide your beloved, take a quiet moment to arrive in yourself. Feel your breath. Soften your body. Let your presence become warm and steady.
Invite your beloved to sit comfortably on the silks with feet on the ground or legs crossed. You may gently drape a silk wrap around their shoulders as a gesture of adorning and welcome. Ask them to close their eyes.
Guide a few slow breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth. Allow each exhale to lengthen and settle the body.
Let them know this is a moment for receiving.
Open the Neeshi cacao spread and, on their next inhale, hold it beneath their nose. Let the aroma arrive gently. Ask softly, May I feed you? Pause and receive their answer.
Offer one spoonful slowly. Invite them to let it melt on the tongue. Encourage awareness of flavor, breath, and sensation. They can notice where the body loosens or opens to sweetness and care.
As they savor, warm anointing oil between your palms and place your hands lightly at the scalp and neck. Begin with still contact, then move into slow attentive strokes. Let your hands listen and tend.
Give your attention fully. Let sweetness, silk, and touch carry your care.
Later, you may change places and receive in the same way, adorned, nourished, and tended with devotion.
“Give your attention fully. Let sweetness, silk, and touch carry your care.”
