Tonight’s Play Party
July 6th, 2008 (12 months ago)Tonight was a very interesting evening. The NLA-CFL group got together tonight at a member’s home for some classes and play. It was really fun to get together with everyone and have some fun together.
I got to experience needles for the first time tonight. That was a very fun experience. It happened very suddenly, however it was a great time…after I digested everything and processed what went on.
At first, fear completely encompassed my field of vision. I couldn’t maintain eye contact with Noelle. I had to suppress my fear of needles built up from all the past experiences I have had with them (from having blood drawn…to a horrid experience with an anesthesiologist) and try to make it a new experience. I was successful in the creation of the new experience, however once I was done (and I only got two needles in me before I was done…pics to come!!) I had to go in a bedroom just with Noelle and cry out the fear I had suppressed so that I could get rid of it.
I talked about what happened with Noelle. I think She was concerned about my crying being a negative reaction to what had happened, but then I further explained that it was purging the fear from my emotions so that I could begin processing the new experience.
After I settled down and talked, we moved into some more play. Noelle did some great blood play with knives on me a few nights ago. She made some nice cut marks on my chest and then carved an “N” into the middle of my chest right above my xyphoid process. It has also been bruised up a bit from her hitting it with her fist. It’s turned into the “Easy Button” for getting my attention…heh.
Noelle began doing some more rubbing on this spot and also some other chest work. This very nicely brought me to a great break. I cried when I broke, and was able to feel a great sense of relief as some of my burden was taken from me. Very soon after I broke, it happened again, and yet another break with tears came, taking more away from me.
I fell limp on the bed we were playing on and contemplated the time. I was very happy that I was able to break, and Noelle was as well. She asked if I had one more in me, and then began to work on me again after I didn’t say anything in reply. This build up was new, and it took even more energy and strength to work through as She hammered on my chest, pinching and pushing against the few tender spots She had made on my chest.
I suddenly realized through this that my hands were up in the air under Hers, palms facing upward…in a worship/reverence way. I just let myself go and started to invoke the presence of God by repeating “Hallelujah” over and over. I opened my eyes briefly only to see the face of God staring down at me. I closed my eyes again to capture the sight and just laid there as a shower of Grace and Mercy flooded my body, penetrating me to my soul. I grabbed at the feeling with my raised arms, keeping them open to fully receive God’s energy until the wave passed.
It was such an awesome experience…one that I had not had with God for a very long time. Afterward, I explained to Noelle what happened, and She asked some very good questions that helped me understand more deeply what had happened.
I got to explain how Grace and Mercy are two things given to us by God without merit. God gives us Grace because he knows that we are not good enough for Him without accepting Jesus as our Saviour. He also gives us Mercy without merit because we are all in need of forgiveness at one point or another in our Walk. It is a very humbling experience to receive these gifts from God…and it takes me a lot to get me in that humble of a state where I can openly receive it. This has only been the second time in my BDSM walk with God that such a strong outpour of Grace and Mercy was given to me. There are many times where I break and feel an Angel of the Lord coming to me to take away my transgressions and pain, but this is direct from The Source…and is so much more powerful.
I lay there on the bed just staring up at His face with my eyes still shut solid. I finally opened my eyes and tears showered from them onto my face. Noelle wiped them away and we continued to hold each other while I calmed down. As I was talking about the whole process with Noelle, I felt a fifth wave coming through me, and I enjoyed yet another break in my scene. I was quite surprised to have broken that many times (and for those who don’t know, a break can be equated to a climax in a sexual scene…however this one has a completely different meaning and physical reaction) as the most number of breaks I’ve had in a scene was two until this point.
Noelle and I got up from the bed and She helped me center myself and get my thoughts and emotions back together. We exited the room and went back to the patio where we had left. I’m very excited about getting comfortable with needles…and I am very interested in seeing where it leads me (I can just see myself covered in them…but will go one step at a time!). I am also seeking to grow a spiritual connection with this new BDSM venture. I have initially connected it with the passage in scripture that speaks of Jesus’ side being pierced by one of the soldiers to verify His death (John 19:33-35)…we will see if that continues to ring true.
I have re-read the beginning of The DaVinci Code where it talks about Silas…the one who murdered the curator of the museum in the beginning of the book. I read a passage again when it was explaining the idea of his faith…and it was boldfaced: “The test of your faith is how much pain you can endure.”
It was a very striking passage…and I can see how that fits very well with me. I enjoy that my faith is tested in that form…and it also gives me opportunities to commune with the Holy Spirit in a serene, tranquil place (my sub space). It is so nice to be this closely connected with my spiritual side and to know that I can incorporate things I learned in the Assembly of God church when I was very young with some of the ritual and practice done in the BDSM world. It makes me happy to know that I can still commune with God while being tested by His standards.
Now to continue reading the Bible to see what else I can find BDSM-related…I’m sure there’s something ![]()
