Dark 40 Day 4: Savor & Embellish

Setup: In our rush to consume life, we forget how to taste it. Today we practice the art of radical savoring – letting each moment dissolve on our tongue like honey.

Engagement:

1. Choose your moment:
   • A morning coffee or tea
   • A piece of fruit
   • A bath or shower or hand washing
   • A ray of sunlight
2. The Practice:
   • Before beginning, set a timer for 5 minutes
   • Move in slow motion
   • Bring the flavor to your mouth, the water or sun to your skin 
   • Use all your senses, full awareness
   • Breathe in sensation, let sounds escape on your exhale
   • Make it unnecessarily sensual. Exaggerate! Embellish! 
   • Be inappropriate with your enjoyment.
3. Bonus Play:
   • Document the experience in voice memo
   • Let yourself be witnessed
   • Make it a shared practice

Integration: What happens when you give yourself permission to enjoy without rushing? Where else in your life could you insert this delicious slowness?

Choose Your Savoring Style:

• Option 1: Morning Ritual
  • Take 20 minutes with morning coffee/tea
  • Make obscene pleasure sounds
  • Let the honey drip slow, the cream swirl ceremoniously, the steam dance in the light
• Option 2: Public Play
  • Order something deliciously messy
  • Let ice cream drip
  • Lick fingers shamelessly
• Option 3: Kitchen Artist
  • Cook something just for the sensuality
  • Taste everything three times (with your eyes, your nose, your mouth)
  • Make a mess on purpose
• Option 4: Partner Feed
  • Take turns offering mystery bites
  • Cloak eyes to enhance experience 
  • Make it outrageously sensual
