"This sensuality experience is about compassion and generosity towards others. It means being mindful of the world around us. before we can be mindful of those around us we must be mindful of our own bodies and spirits." Olivia Desert Rose was standing on a tree stump close to the fire. "For this first exercise in sensuality  we will learn how to touch and to use our touch to bless others. On the ground at your feet you will find small bags of rocks. Pick a rock and hold it in your hand. Let it nestle there. Let it find a home in your palm's embrace. Hold it. cherish your stone. Now rise and walk around the fire. Be mindful of the way it rests in your hand. Feel the trust the stone has in your hand. The stone is warming to your touch. Feel the electricty that flows through  your hand to your stone."<br/><br/>Jennifer felt awkward but she did as Olivia Desert Rose said. Max followed suit. A hush fell over the group as the snap of the fire and the whistle of the wind seemed to wind around them. The stone in Jennifer's hand grew warm and oddly enough, Jennifer felt a growing affection for it. Suddenly, Olivia Desert Rose spoke in her soft, sultry voice.<br/><br/>"Now give your rock to someone."<br/><br/>Jennifer was stunned and tears stung her eyes. But she reluctantly gave her rock to a woman who was close to her. The rock the woman gave her in return didn't quite fit her handd and felt foreign, however soon the rock nestled there comfortably.<br/><br/>"Again,, give your rock to someone and bless them through your touch with the giving."<br/><br/>This time when the exchange was made, the touches were tender and eye contact was made.  The transfer of the stone was done with lingering motions. Soon the event was over and Jennifer stood, breathing deeply, as if waking from a dream. Not only the nerve endings in her fingers were tingling but her entire body seemed to be made of millions of tiny nerves which were alive.<br/><br/>"You have touched your inner gods and goddesses tonight. Go and open yourselves to sensuality. No rules, no taboos, no chains. You are free."
