I originally created the Six Gateways practices at the request of my first sex and intimacy clients in 2005 as a way for couples to practice sexual mindfulness (AKA Tantra) together on their own. Subsequently I created an additional set of solo mindfulness practices for my clients who were not partnered. In my therapy practice, these are tools that we can use together to help you learn emotional regulation, insight, and integration, as well as a valuable assist in trauma-informed healing.
Each Six Gateways practice can be done alone as a guided mindfulness meditation or together with a partner as an intimate couples mindfulness practice. For those interested in a spiritual adjunct to therapy, the practices can be done as a form of shamanism practice for healing and personal growth. As time has moved on and I have learned from my clients, I have added a variety of practices for each Gateway, some to be done solo, others to be done with a partner.
These practices were taught to me by my Wiccan, Druidic, Native American, Shamanism, and Tantra teachers. Over time, the practices evolved into a set of guiding principles for life and relationship.
