So there was this girl. Things ended shortly for reasons outside my control but suffice to say she was very unkind to me despite profound vulnerability dedication, and loyalty on my end. I'm not under any illusions there aren't two sides to any story but its all I've been permitted to know given how she left things.

She was my sub. We had a TPE dynamic and It awakened something spiritual within me, a certain animal sensability mixed with romantic dedication. I'm more ascertive, more shameless, and more interested in this type of relationship than ever, but I also know TPE isn't something you can just go looking for and expect to find. Furthermore, I'm still healing, and my life is crazy, so I'm not sure a relationship would be mutually beneficial at this juncture.

To that end, noble subs, doms, and switches, I'm wondering if yall have inducted any spiritual practices or forms of personal development into your journeys. Stuff to feed and cultivate the more spiritual psychological end of things rather than the technical.

I figure being a healthy, self confident dom on my own is the first step to entering a relationship as one. I've already read pieces like "the heart of dominance" but I'm looking for practices I can engage in on my own in a more material sense.

Perhaps the best way to put it, I'm wondering what makes a healthy and skillful dom feel like a healthy and skillful dom when they're alone
