Heart and Connection Exercise for Couples

This simple exercise requires only your hands, open eyes, and willing hearts to connect with each other at a deep level. The intent is to reconnect with one another any time you are feeling emotionally detached from one another.

Sit facing each other on the bed or in chairs. Each individual takes their right palm and places it over the heart of the other person. With hearts in palms look into each others eyes and hold that position for as long as possible, looking lovingly and deeply into each others eyes.
