The Lovers’ Cradle

“Lying on her side, facing away, the fawn-eyed girl turns her buttocks for him to enter their house of love.”

The woman starts by laying on her back, turning slightly to one side and pulling her knees towards her, so that her lover can enter her yoni from the kneeling position. He supports her legs on his leg and pulls her buttocks towards him to allow her to relax deeply and be cradled between his open thighs. Leaning slightly forward, he can place a hand on her chest to deepen the affective connection and caress her face and body tenderly with his other hand.

Penetration can be profound, but movements are more subtle, and generated by a flexible rocking motion of the pelvis, rather than abrupt thrusting movements of the whole body. Think, “in and in”, rather than “in and out”.

In this position, the man cradles the woman and allows her to experience a deep surrender, trust, safety and care that offer the loving frame in which she can open; physically and emotionally. His lingam is also snugly contained by her yoni, offering him nourishment in a sweet, loving and intimate embrace.

Lovers can focus on the deep state of intimacy that this position generates, and become aware that their lovemaking is the engine for creating even more love. Feel the energies rising into the heart and expanding as love, rising and floating together, as a hot-air balloon travels up into the sky…
