Welcome, you explorer of body and mind!

Let’s see if Meditative Flogging can be something you’d enjoy, either giving or receiving.

Now is the time to gain a deeper insight into who and what you are. Are you a giver? Do you feel good when your partner feels good? Or are you someone who’d prefer to receive a flogging? Are you a body-mind explorer looking for hidden treasures? Or are you merely wondering if this is for you?

Take the test!

Question 1: The roles we play in daily life or in a flogging session can differ dramatically. In life, we need balance and reciprocation, but in flogging, one party gives and the other receives. Which side do you think you’d like to be on? Click one of these options.

Question 2: In a good flogging session, as well as in daily life,energy flows where attention goes. Some people reach out and touch, others like to have life come at them. What about you? Do you prefer being touched or do you prefer to do the touching?

Question 3: Pleasure and pain are closely connected, but sometimes you need to heal from emotional hurt before you can experience pleasure. As a general rule, do you prefer giving pleasure or do you prefer to help others heal? Note: in this question, by ‘pleasure’ we mean a physical, sensual experience. On the other hand, your interest could lie in helping your partner heal from the emotional pain that’s stored in the body. Click the option you think best describes you.

 Question 4: In popular culture, ‘flogging’ is often represented as either painful or sexual. But that may be a false contrast. In flogging, ‘pain’ may help the body release ‘pleasure hormones’, as well as help the body let go of painful memories. Do you think ‘feeling good’ may have many aspects to it? Or do you think a practice that might make someone cry is only to be approached with great caution? Click the button that best describes your approach.

 Question 5: When we have pleasurable experiences, the body can be excited while the mind is getting rewired. Pleasure, too, can make a person see themselves in a new, and beneficial light. Do you agree?

 Question 6.: Now that we’ve established you like to go with the flow, what do you think: are you looking for pleasure, or could your body be a portal to a profound source of wisdom?

 Question 7: Could it be that ‘healing’ is a spiritual adventure, in which the separation between individual consciousness and a universal consciousness is lifted, and this feels pleasurable? Or does the ‘pleasure’ precede healing, because you can only begin to heal when you begin to relax? Choose the option that best describes what first comes to your mind.

Question 8: Your approach to life is a combination of your emotional experiences and your sensual experiences. Some good, some not-so-good, some maybe even not good at all. Considering this, why are you interested in Meditative Flogging? Don’t answer too soon, maybe this question can help you explore your motivations on a deeper level.

 Question 9: Receiving a flogging or giving a flogging means getting into close contact with another human being. Opening yourself up to receiving a flogging asks you to trust your partner, pay attention to your feelings, and feel the energetic connection between you and your partner. And on top of all that, you need to want to surrender to the sensations of the whip on your body… Do you agree?

 Question 10: If you don’t feel you can or want to surrender to whatever’s happening during a flogging encounter, do you know why that is? Choose the answer that best describes how you feel.

You find it hard to believe pain can be pleasurable, and you are focused on the emotional proces mostly.
