You have to have a love affair with yourself before you can begin to have a love affair with anybody else. 

Meditation extends beyond journaling and breathwork. There is another possibility - masturbation meditation. As an Intimacy Coach, Abbey Rodgers knows plenty about using self-pleasure to bring your desires to fruition while increasing your self-awareness. She shares with us how you can take on a more intentional approach to the solo exploration of your sexuality to help you slow down, pause, be in the present moment and surrender. Abbey helps others release pain around sex, self-love and relationships so they can have a deeper connection with themselves while having deeper connections with others in their life.
