This practice cultivates deep energetic and sensual connection through the hands while maintaining a sense of distance, allowing intimacy to grow through presence and energy exchange rather than direct bodily contact.
Setup:
Partners sit in Yab Yum position but maintain some space—knees close but not touching.
Eyes remain soft or closed, breathing in sync.
Hands begin at the shoulders and slowly journey down, emphasizing deep, intentional touch.
Practice:
Shoulder Connection
One partner starts by hovering their hands over the other’s shoulders, feeling the warmth and energy.
Slowly, the hands lightly press into the shoulders, releasing tension through circular movements.
Arms & Flowing Energy
Hands glide down from shoulders to upper arms, palms open, fingers soft.
As the hands descend to the forearms, they alternate between gentle squeezing (petrissage) and gliding strokes (effleurage).
The receiving partner stays fully present in the sensations, feeling the energetic exchange.
Deep Intimacy of the Hands
Arriving at the hands, the giver focuses on each finger individually—kneading, rolling, and gently pulling toward the tips.
The receiver surrenders, noticing sensations radiating through the heart and sacral chakras.
Holding Without Holding
Once both hands have been explored, pause with palms hovering inches apart—fingertips mirroring but not touching.
Breathe together, sensing the pulse of energy between them.
Stay in this stillness, allowing intimacy to deepen through presence rather than contact.
Closing the Practice:
Partners gently bring their hands to their own hearts, sealing the shared energy.
A soft gaze or bow acknowledges the connection before releasing.
This practice heightens energetic sensitivity, tantric intimacy, and subtle pleasure through hands and distance, creating a powerful space of deep connection.
