Encouraging Class Comments

Filed under: Personal Reflections — Suzanne SxySadist @ 8:19 am

I have been teaching classes of various kinds for over 10 years now and although I will be the first to admit I have a tendency to be overly self critical at times, the simple truth is if you get up in front of a room full of people often enough, at some point you can just feel that some days you are more on than not. I did 4 classes at Shibaricon and I felt I hit hit 2 of them pretty well out of the park and well two of them didn’t feel like they landed quite as well.

I was feeling sort of down about that this week until I got a couple of emails from people that have been to my classes. Then I decided to peek back at a few other class comments I have received and post a few of them here mainly as a reminder to myself that although I am far from perfect, it is an amazing feeling when I am able to deliver a message that makes a difference in some one’s life. 

Comments from students: “I’ve been using the breathing techniques not only in scene work, but also to calm and center my gf when she gets upset, so thanks again for your wisdom and knowledge.” 

“I was in your ecstatic breathing class kind of mostly following along, but also just being in awe of how many people got it.  That’s an amazing gift… as much as I can feel energy, and can sometimes just touch someone and they can feel it too, or understand… I find it’s very hard for some people to understand. I was just blown away by how many people were getting it in your class, and it was really exciting and awesome to feel.  It’s not often I get to bathe in that kind of energy, but it’s very rejuvenating and reassuring that humanity at its core is light not dark. Just wanting to pass on my email, and thanks to you.”

“The ending demo of the weekend was especially touching. Using a combination of breathing exercises, spirit building techniques, and excellent style and mannerism gave the participating members a wonderful relaxing / meditative / energizing group connecting experience. It produced the most concentrated “energy” that I find psychically nourishing and rejuvenating that I’ve encountered.”

“I must say Sunday morning session on breath play, etc with the group was probably the one of the most touching moments in myself and my slaves life, thank you. Thank you everyone for sharing your love and lifestyles with us.”

“Ending the weekend with the connection and breath demo was refreshing, I felt growth, change, happiness and sadness, I was over whelmed with the love within and outside of the circle as I looked around ..I truly care for you all…Thank you for sharing such a special weekend with U/us.”

 

“The presentations were wonderful!  I thoroughly enjoyed them.  I want to especially thank my partner in the intention/connection class.  That was a very spiritual and moving experience for me.  I could not ask for a better person to have shared that journey with.”

Canes, Ropes & Goddess Blessings!

Filed under: Adventure Reports — Suzanne SxySadist @ 5:01 pm

Wow! I had such an amazing time at Paddles last Friday night doing my new “Ecstatic Caning Class”! for DomsubFriends  The house was absolutely packed and it was great so see so many of my dear friends come out to support me and have a good time.  I started with some general basics about caning but quickly moved into the real point of the class which was the use of breath to connect and help the bottom to manage pain and I think a lot of people really understood why I placed so much emphasis on the use of breath when I play. 

My demo bottom and partner in crime “Kate” aka The Riverdale Goddess looked absolutely beautiful and although she had never been caned before so took to it like a trooper and we breathed together and connected wonderfully and soon she was high as a kite!  She was truly amazing and after our demo several other people wanted to try a bit both top and bottom. 

One young male submissive in particular caught my eye and this boy and I had one hell of a play scene afterwards!! Like holy cow .. what an amazing pain tolerance! By the time I was through he truly was a “work of Art” and was sporting some spectacular coloring on his thighs in particular. Mmmm drool slurp! 

I was completely spent by the time I got over to my friend Miss Troy Orleans’ Studio where I was spending the night and slept like a stone.  She has a really wonderful space and the next morning’s suspension class with her and her friend went splendidly. I REALLY like Troy and as I drove home I thought to myself that I would really like to see her again soon… well it happened sooner than I thought!

Once I arrived home there was this lovely invitation in my mail box from my friend Teeni Dakini who teaches Tantra classes in NY:

Dear Goddess,

Yes YOU!

My men’s group will be having their final class on Sunday, July 15th. Yes they are “graduating” from three, 3hour classes dedicated to learning about the feminine, honoring the feminine, serving the feminine, communicating with the feminine…. that’s a lot of feminine! But they’ve been sitting in the room with me the whole time. For the last class I like to do something really special! I’m wondering if you’d be interested in coming in and blessing these men in the final ritual. These men that have worked so hard, that are very courageous in wanting to learn and being willing to ask questions, share their thoughts and embrace something new. They don’t know you are coming.

Here’s how it works:

In the final minutes of the class, I have the men sit in a circle with their eyes closed. When they open their eyes, a goddess (that’s you) is standing before them. I lead you through some very simple exercises of blessing them and thanking them. I lead you in what to say and do the whole time, so there is nothing to worry about. This is a very moving experience for the men. Sometimes your very presence cracks them right open and there are tears. Sometimes this is their first “conscious” connection experience with seeing the divine in a woman– it’s a very special surprise for them and a great way to end the class. Thank you, this is such a HUGE gift to these beautiful men, and I very much appreciate it! 

Love, teeni

How could I turn down an offer to be a Goddess to such wonderful men?? :) So I popped back into my car and headed back into the city for Sunday night and I was waiting outside for the appropriate time to slip into the class when I was absolutely delighted when I saw Troy come strolling up the sidewalk! She has gotten the same invitation and couldn’t pass it up either.  It was such a sweet ritual and it was so beautiful to see the impact that it had on these wonderful men.

Afterwards, Troy and I and one of the men who I also knew from the lifestyle,  headed out for a bite to eat and a bit of social time.  It was a really fabulous weekend and Teeni invited me to the next Sunday night’s tantra gathering so I will be off to NYC yet again for more sexy fun adventures! Check back soon!

Namaste~  Suzanne
