When I say rope is touch, we step past knots and techniques.
It’s about how you touch them and what you communicate with that touch.
I’m not talking about casual contact. I mean deliberate, intentional contact that can:
- Give you a container to explore your shadow, your desire, your truth.
- Push against rules and norms you’ve outgrown.
- Make restriction feel like liberation.
- Create a deep bond built on trust.
- Use energy and intention to move you somewhere new.
Every pull of the rope sends a message. Choose what that message is. Change it to shift the energy—fast to demand, slow to invite. Let the rope hold them how you can’t, and don’t stop touching them yourself. Tie them the way you’d touch them without rope.
Rope is an extension of your will. It’s your hand, your voice, your energy. It tells them they are wanted, they were chosen—not by accident, but by design. Touch can be that conduit, carrying intention, devotion, and energy. You can use deliberate strokes to awaken different parts of the body—parts that may have been forgotten. Rope can do the same—wrapping, pressing, releasing—each change in tension activates a certain point.
Touch can shape your awareness and release stored emotions by placing the body in intentional positions—to stretch, to limit, to deepen, and to sink into stillness. The subtle tugs and rocking can be used to anchor attention and sensation, each shift a reminder to “be here now.” Rope can also be used to tighten on the inhale and loosen on the exhale, creating a rhythm with breathing—drawing in a breath to contain and releasing that breath to let go.
