stomach. The same goes the other way round; women can share their energy with their man when they have too much in their stomach, and their man is lacking in energy.

      Description

      Option 1: the woman lies down with her hands resting by her sides. The man lies on top of her and tightly grasps her hands, squeezing her fingers in his hands. They begin to breathe in unison, taking deep breaths in and out. Their breathing is calm, even, deep and comes from the stomach. In this case the man gives away energy and the woman receives energy.

      Option 2: the woman lies on top of the man, grasps his hands and squeezes his fingers. They also breathe in unison. Energy goes from woman to man.

      This technique can also be used to exchange different types of energy and to become more familiar with your partner’s energy – with its colour and aroma.

      Joint dreaming

      This technique is carried out when we are asleep. What is it for?

      Often when we are in waking life we cannot truly feel our partner because our thoughts, behavioral programs and judgments are in the way. And sometimes we simply can’t hear body language.

      When we are asleep our body relaxes, our mind calms down and lets go of its control. We become more honest with each other, more capable understanding the person next to us and connecting with them and their energy without encountering any hindrance from masks worn in daily life.

      I recommend these exercises for couples to develop a deeper understanding of each other and join their energies. At a more advanced level, partners are able to consciously meet each other in their dreams and dream the same dreams.

      The practice begins with both partners lying down in preparation for sleep… But not just in any way. I will describe one of these poses. Both partners lie down on their sides with their backs to each other, legs slightly bent and feet, lower back and sacrum area touching. They tune into each other’s breathing and begin breathing in unison, either breathing in and out together, or one partner breathing in while the other breathes out and vice versa.

      Bridge between hearts

      Both partners sit facing each other. They look into their eyes, place their left hand on their heart and their right hand on their partner’s heart. They visualize their hearts opening up to each other, flourishing like flowers and opening their petals to the sun in the name of Love. They imagine a pink ray going from one partner’s heart to the other’s heart and a heart connection forming between them. This is very important since most couples are only connected through their sexual or intellectual centres, while the heart remains closed…

      

      Bridge between hearts

      Partners direct their love, tenderness, affection and elevated feelings to each other through this bridge between hearts. They express and transmit them with the help of deep breathing and eye contact. No words, just breathing.

      Nowadays words are like drawings in the sand; the wind blows and they disappear. Words are forgotten and not valued by people. Maybe nowadays there are simply too many words…

      So come back to the source of Love’s knowledge, learn to communicate with your loved one through breath and the heart and the uncharted world of man will open itself up to you more deeply than if you were simply to talk to him. And the world of woman will open up for man…

      8 personality types

      The healers shared a law with me that the whole of nature is subject to: each person is born with a specific energy structure, a personality type which determines their development, character traits and disposition. Women are characterized by 4 winds – North, South, West and East. Men by the 4 elements: Fire, Earth, Water and Air. North is connected to Fire, South to the Earth, West with Water and East with Air.

      This is a particular energy, something given to us a priori and unique for each person. It can be used to develop ourselves as individuals or ignored.

      In this age the law has expanded to include two wind combinations for women:

      North-west,

      North-east,

      South-west,

      South-east.

      And two elements for men:

      Hot Air or fiery Wind (Fire and Air)

      Boiling Water (Fire and Water),

      Moist Earth (Earth and Water),

      Typhoon (Earth and Air).

      How does it happen?

      One wind is given to a woman from birth while the second one can be acquired during the course of life or imposed on her by parents or society as a more acceptable behavioral model. Healers say that we need to discover the wind or element we are born with in order to open ourselves up as fully as possible in this world. There are special practices to do this. Here is one of them.

      How to determine your element

      Have you noticed that sometimes when you lie down to sleep facing a certain direction, you sleep well and feel energized, while if you sleep facing another direction we can feel tiredness and fatigue on waking, as if we hadn’t slept at all? Try doing the following:

      Lie on your back, close your eyes, bend your knees and place your hands on your stomach. Connect with your body, don’t think about anything at all, take a deep breath in through the nose expanding your stomach, and a full breath out. Breathe like this for a few minutes while lying motionless. Then slowly start moving in a circle, pushing yourselves with your legs. Imagine that your stomach is your axis – the centre you are rotating around. Move slowly and monitor your sensations. Your direction will be signaled by particular feelings arising. It’s difficult to say exactly what kind of feelings because it’s different for everyone. Some people feel warmth, pins and needles, a sense of calm and so on. The most truthful indicator is relaxation. When you have moved around the whole circle, stop where you feel most comfortable. Then take your compass and check what direction your body has chosen. Experiment with it a few times. Your body will always choose its direction. Before going to sleep lie with your head facing this direction and you will see the effect next morning. If you really managed to find your direction then your body will truly relax, you will sleep well and after waking you will feel fresh and energized. This exercise helps overcome insomnia and calms the nervous system. The body really rests and replenishes itself when facing its direction – the one given from birth.

      There’s a variation on this practice. Try to determine the points of the compass beforehand. Then choose one direction e.g. North and lie with your head facing in that direction. Sleep in this position one night or a couple of nights to be completely sure. Take note of your state every time. You can even write your feelings in a diary. After that sleep facing South, West and East. Your direction is where you feel most comfortable of all.

      When you find your wind or element you will be able to understand what you need to develop in yourselves first and foremost, what your strong and weak points are, where your talents lie, and what course of action is best for you to take according to your wind or element. Whether you should flow like water, burn like fire, blow like the wind, or stand strong like a mountain. You can find out about the characteristics of each wind in my book Womb.

      There is also a 5^th element – the centre. This is a natural leader, organizer whose role in life is to attract people to themselves, bring them together and direct them. Due to its complex structure the fifth element’s character is changeable and that’s why the parents of such a child often don’t have it easy. Usually the fifth element is born under dual zodiac signs e.g. Pisces, Sagittarius, Libra or Gemini. The least problematic children are women with
