Beyond Cuddle Party: How Pajamas, Human Connection, and 11 Rules Can Change Your Life

by Monique Darling

Join world renowned Cuddle Party Facilitator and authenticity and vulnerability coach; Monique Darling as she takes the "Rules of Cuddling" beyond the confines of the Cuddle Party out into her real life, where she finds unique and powerful ways to apply them to everyday situations from flirting on the highway to helping a fellow come to terms with his impending death. At it's core a cuddle party is about presence, communication and respect (both for yourself and for those you interact with) or as one of her reviewers puts it. "The word “rules” can invoke a concept of law for some. Monique’s Darling’s book is not a book of rules, it’s more a book of observations, wisdom and guidelines on her journey through very rough and tumultuous landscape called life. The backdrop is of Cuddle Parties, relationships and dealing with one’s own past. But the real treasure is in what is gained from the journey she takes us on with her, giving us permission to share these learned gifts with her. It’s a perfect companion for anyone stepping out on their journey to self discovery. Or in other words, “An epic tale of one woman’s journey deep into the heart of intimacy to find the unmarked treasure. A story full of dangerous emotion traps, navigating complicated social experiments, love found, and lost, and the magnificent boundaries created to support experiences unimaginable. It’s a heroic rise of one soul while practicing 11 Cuddle Party rules!” Who would read that?" - Shawn Roop, author Pathways to Love : 28 Days to Self Love.

I really enjoyed this book. I've been interested in going to a Cuddle Party for a while, so I picked this up. What I got was to go on a journey of discovery and some great questions to ask myself. The rules for Cuddle Party really are rules for life and I'm happy the author chose to be so open about what she has learned to guide others. I'm now fascinated by the idea of being a facilitator.

One of the best, most inspiring books I've read! I attended a cuddle party hosted by Monique for the first time. I was nervous and anxious at first, but felt a strong pull to be there. Loved all the rules, and learning how to ask for what we want, and say no to what we don't. This book has inspired me to become a cuddle practitioner!

This is a great book for opening one self to ones self. So many insights within these pages. Everyone should read at some point.
