I guess I'm referring to providing a "receptive space" to
allow the inner parts of self to express their frustrations
and/or "hear" the message that is yearning to be heard. Such
a receptive space would be one in which some kind of meeting
ground tailor-made for the sexual voices to come out of
hiding and present their feelings could be had. I haven't
quite found the right venue yet.
In the non-sexual regime, an example might be MW's Creation
Mandala in Fusion 1 that provides a safe place for
the shen to reveal their emotional frustrations . . .
so I guess I would mean some kind of similar yin space
for the sexual voices to present themselves as opposed to
just being cast into the blender (i.e. Kan-and-Li cauldron).
I don't know if I'm making any sense.
All I know is I feel that something like this is missing,
but it's hard to quantify.
The closest I've come on that level is to apply the
Focusing techniques as an outside supplement to LKL, but
it's much trickier, as the sexual emotions and voices
tend to be considerably "more elusive" than those
inner "voices" that are vying for attention in the
non-sexual realm . . . Which I suppose is the reason
I mention trying to identify a yin space for them
to come out of hiding . . .
Of course, all this could be reflection of the
difficulty/challenge of the material and/or my skill
level is not yet attuned deep enough to "get at it", i.e.
it just might take more practice. I'm still not sure yet.
But I guess I'm still also yet in the exploratory phase
of figuring out the right combination of tools to
pin down an effective strategy. Which is probably
the reason for instigating this discussion . . . to
become exposed to some fresh perspectives to help
shed "light" on this area.
At any rate, that's about the best that I can
explain it . . . at this point anyway.
