0:00.0	Okay, here we are at episode two of the 10 ideas for intentional intimacy this summer.
0:10.9	Today we're just talking about body awareness.
0:13.8	And by that, I'm talking about actually embodying your femininity on purpose.
0:19.8	And I'm just going to share a bite-sized snippet of what that's been
0:23.0	for me. I share a lot about that personally in the circle group mentorship I lead. But I wanted to
0:28.1	give you a little overview of that idea so that you could start implementing a few practicalities
0:33.1	on your own now and hopefully open up a broader conversation with time. So let's pray God,

1:28.2	not because I'm on a diet just because I'm running from place to place. And those cues to me are

1:38.4	this gift that I've been given to care for and to enjoy and appreciate and share in marriage.
1:44.0	And if I'm disconnected from that, I'm definitely going to feel disconnected for my sexuality.
1:49.1	And so I take body awareness breaks throughout the day because I have lived for so long,
