Embodiment Training focuses on the following nine practices. All practitioners explore the first six of these practices. The last three depend on circumstances and personal inclinations.

The embodied state is permeated with a feeling tone of love. Because the practice of Gazing at the Beloved takes the two practitioners into a shared awareness of love, partners in the practice may sometimes become sexual lovers as well as spiritual friends. If this occurs, partners are encouraged to extend the practices into their love play. The Tibetan consorts Samantabhadra and Samantabhadri are our guides for this practice. Samantabhadra is a primordial Buddha who sits naked in full meditation posture. His consort Samantabhadri sits naked astride him in full sexual union. While the man's penis is inside the woman's vagina, stay equally connected through your gaze. Even during those moments when it's natural to close your eyes, stay connected with your partner through the energies at your eye center. In general, men will want to learn to forego their mechanical urgency to ejaculate while women will want to orgasm freely. After an extended session of love play, the man and woman will want to lie on their sides, connecting deeply through the gaze.
