https://youtu.be/G4IBX8YhypM?si=rWDIrlNLvguTNZjx I'm thrilled to share this incredibly powerful video link with our group. Thank you Lion for your offering and wonderful gifts. I encourage you each to check it out and practice and take some time to connect and be with your breath. I'm currently in this dance program/dance intensive for 2weeks and I have been feeling overwhelmed with emotions, anxiety, and some difficult moments and experiences showing up. I knew that I needing some grounding and centering as I continue to arrive innthese first few days and show up, BE, and DANCE in the studio. Today, during a lunch break and in between dance classes, I listened and was guided by Lion's voice. I got to feel many different parts of my body. I am still feeling so so good in my body now. So connected. Safe. Brave. Whole. Here. In recovery, vitality, wellness. Loved, living, loving, Present. Thank you for reading brothers!

Brothers, I was fortunate to be able to attend Lion's Sacred Self Pleasure Class last night and wanted to put down some thoughts. As a fully integrated stream of processes, it's impossible to say which part I liked the most. Lion led us through a seamless transition between breathwork, shaking, lymphatic drainage, more breathwork focusing on full body as well as pelvic floor sensations, and the simple act of getting to know our penis and testicles without focusing on getting an erection and ejaculating. Each part was fairly new to me but I feel I learned some new techniques that I can use in regular practice. If anyone had concerns about participating in a class like this while touching their genitals with other men present (even if on Zoom), I'd like to allay your concerns. This was not a sexual exercise. Nothing our teacher did crossed any lines, but instead he guided us through the class with professionalism. Other than Lion, I don't know who else was naked other than myself, because Lion gives us the opportunity to do these practices clothed and/or have our camera focused on the upper body only. There was no need to feel embarrassed or uncomfortable IMO, but it was freeing for me, just being naked in my own living room. I'm definitely going to look into doing more home workouts that incorporate what I learned last night. I'm fairly clumsy and not graceful, so I was probably flailing around a bit, but that's ok! I felt 100% comfortable in the situation. I definitely encourage the brotherhood to participate when Lion offers classes again. I don't know him personally, and I'm not trying to kiss his ass, but instead just offering my honest thoughts on the class. Looking forward to more!

What's up brothers this is Chee-New! I hope you each are experiencing wellness and vitality and taking time to simply BE. I took some time to connect with my breath this morning as the sun rose. It was beautiful. Breathing consciously and mindfully has been helping me feel more at ease and present. I am grateful for my breath and my body. I am grateful to be alive. I am grateful for the people I have met and will meet. I wrote down some affirmations, intentions, and manifestation mantras in my journal. "I live and move in this life with an abundance of love guided by my visions, purpose, and values that ground me in caring and supporting myself and my community in transformative, life affirming, and healing ways." And I also got to read about habits and healing. Let's gooo. This is the work. I am winning. Sharing much love and light to you all.
