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.

    This is a similar practice in Japanese martial arts although the reflection is based rather on submission to a Sensei’s teaching and spiritual philosophy.

    Therefore are you suggesting that the FemDom becomes responsible for the emotional and spiritual aspects of the relationship?

    With my guy I have a rule:When you are on the computer with me, it will be on your knees(unless of course family is there).I agree it does re enforce his submission in a simple way.
    There are four thousand long miles seperating us at present so it can be challenging for both of us.The contemplative kneeling I do like,focus is important.
    Thank you for starting this blog btw.It took me forever to find blogs and sites that did not begin in a vulgar or unladylike way.Kudos to those of us that realize a dominant woman isn’t a domineering witch.

    So happy to have you as a reader, Laura. I know exactly how long 4,000 miles can be so I appreciate your challeng. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

    Nigel,

    I wasn’t inferring anything similar to what you suggested, however I will remark on the question in general. Since my partner is an adult male with a mind of his own, I believe he is responsible for his emotional and spiritual well-being. I as the dominant am responsible for making certain nothing I do harms his emotional or spiritual well-being. We all have to be accountable for our actions (smiles).
