They see themselves in a loving embrace within the powerful energy field they create together. In another exercise, the couple sits facing each other. They reach out and experience each other's energy. Even in sleep, sharing a bed, you can support your partner. In some illnesses such as heart disease a couple may be afraid to make love they fear that the rigors of intercourse may harm the weakened heart.
All healing takes vital energy, and sex is a method to circulate vital energy throughout the body.
Through techniques recommended by Collinge and Platt, sex becomes a meditative event, generating body-wide enjoyment rather than just genital pleasure. Love-making is quiet and soft not physically demanding. Beyond physical pleasure, it reinforces the intimate connection. In addition, Collinge and Platt encourage prayer as a healing and communication tool. When a couple takes time to write a prayer together, the needs and desires of each individual are imbedded in it.
