this is every voice that has searched the sky
for the words
and the guidance
to their travels
of sex
of love
of existentialism.

Through these pages
we find we are home.
In the arms of our beloved:
Our own.

There is no subject out there which captivates our population more than the all-encompassing subject of relationships. As social creatures, we thrive on our interdependence upon one another. Yet, due to familial, cultural, and experiential conditioning (starting from our early formative years up to present day), we most often operate from strategies that no longer serve us. The internal narrative of how we see ourselves, others, and the world as it relates to romantic love unconsciously influences our behaviors in a way that intends to protect us from threat, but simultaneously impacts our ability to give and receive love. SexLoveYoga takes the reader on a journey to clarify the patterns, thoughts, fears and excitements that rule our decision-making process, around the human intimate experience.
SexLoveYoga is divided into three chapters: Sex, Love, and a medium through which both can grow--Yoga. These primary sections are a collection of psychologically themed poems. Each thought piece is written to evoke emotional self-recognition and invite readers to self-inquire. At the conclusion of each primary section, there is an analytical composition expanding upon the psychological concepts presented in the poetry. This aids in grounding the emotional experiences of the poetry into comprehension of the theories presented.
