This is a great exercise to use to re-attune when in conflict. The combination of being in the spooning position and breathing together puts people back on the same wavelength. The spooning creates a feeling of safety and connection at a very deep level.
Spooning consists of one person’s front side hugging the other person’s back side. Couples can also spoon standing up if they’re in a place where they can’t lie down.
While you are spooning, breathe in unison with your mate. The bigger partner should follow the breath of the smaller partner. When the smaller person inhales, the other partner should inhale. When the smaller partner exhales, the other should exhale.
Hold each other and breather in unison like this for at least four minutes. No need to talk. If your mind wanders, focus once again on breathing in unison with your partner.
Although your mind may be racing and storming,
your bodies and souls can’t help but connect!
