The ouroboric embrace: The physical aspects of the nurturing embracing are, themselves, symbolic. It is not necessary to be flexible, pliable and elastic to achieve the nurturing embrace. Rather, it is a matter of sensuality, not just sensation.

For many Earthfolk, the presence of themselves to their beloved is made by simply pressing forehead to forehead and touching however and wherever else they can. It is a sensually nurturing embrace when any given sense keys an immersion into the emotion of belovedness. At times, it takes just the simple sense of sight for two beloveds to be sensually linked and so make present themselves through a nurturing embrace.

One symbol of sensual preciousness’ nurturing embrace is that of the Ouroboros which has been imaged as a snake biting its own tail. This a symbol of Eternal Recurrence because the snake was considered the animal which never dies. This was concluded from the fact that it sheds its skin. In time, animal images were vanquished from religious art, and the Ouroboros was translated into the circle. In Western religious art, the circle becomes the halo, and it appears as encircling the Cross.

Sensual preciousness reclaims the Ouroboros with all its snaky, sensual, powerful, "Serpent in the Garden of Eden," and dragonish fire as you imagine you and your beloved coupled. As beloveds you make manifest and present the Living Earth's eternal recurrence as Forever-Family.
