Kneeling: The Contemplative Kneel

  • Posted on January 9, 2010 at 11:34 am

The act of kneeling is very powerful for a submissive man. For many it demonstrates respect, devotion, and the symbolic surrendering of control.

There are a variety of ways for someone to kneel, so I make certain I offer instructions on how I want him to kneel for specific activities.

Whenever I want him to take a few moments to center himself by thinking about his submission and my control, I instruct him to assume what I refer to as the Contemplative Kneel.  He is to kneel sitting back on his shins, his legs together, palms flat on his thighs.  His head is bowed and his eyes closed. He maintains this position for a few moments while he clears his mind of all thoughts other than what I’ve asked him to reflect upon.

Instructing him to kneel each morning upon awakening and every evening before climbing into bed, centering himself by thinking of his commitment to submit, is a very powerful, relationship-strengthening ritual.
