Someone reaches for you. Before you know how the touch feels, you’re working out how to respond.
You want them to feel welcome. Or you want some space without making them feel rejected. Either way, their experience can become clear to you before your own.
I Want to Be Touched is a guided sensual seven day journey into that missing part of contact: what’s happening in your body while you’re being pleasant, attentive, desirable or apparently fine.
You can make a conversation intimate without saying what matters to you. You can make someone feel desired while barely noticing your own pleasure. You can care for everyone and become busy the moment care comes back.
From the outside, the contact appears to be working. Inside, you may be adjusting so quickly that your own response never quite arrives.
That’s why asking whether you like the person, or want closeness in general, doesn’t answer the whole question.
Perhaps you want the hand on your shoulder, but not the pressure. You want company, but not another conversation. You want the kiss, but not everything you expect it to lead to.
Those differences disappear inside ‘I should enjoy this’ or ‘I don’t like being touched.’ Neither sentence tells you what would make this particular contact feel right.
To discover that, you need to notice your response before improving it for somebody else.
I Want to Be Touched brings you close to the small physical details: breath, pressure, warmth, tension, the urge to lean in, the moment you go still.
Across seven days, the book explores sensation, safety, yes and no, the effort of appearing fine and the pleasure you can miss while keeping everything smooth. Reading, writing, body maps and guided audio make those questions something you experience, not just understand.
You’re learning to distinguish a preference, a boundary and a familiar protective move. So ‘slower,’ ‘stay,’ ‘not now’ or ‘yes, there’ can come from the person inside the moment, not only the one managing it.

The I Awake books are the integration of everything I’ve learned so far, lived and the raw, sensual magic of being human.
Together they map out the Sensual hero’s journey™.
It’s not just about awakening to a deeper awareness.
It’s about returning.
To the self. To the senses.
To the shared.
To enjoying ourselves together while we’re here.
I no longer choose between solitude and connection.
I live in the place where they kiss.
Camilla Wellton
Eight chapters. Seven stages to explore at your own pace. The final chapter is an integration imaginal journey, giving you space to bring the experience together.
In the recordings, I guide you through a deliberate pace, pauses and sequence designed to help your nervous system settle.

Each of the seven stages includes:
An opening guided exercise with my voice and music composed especially for the I AWAKE universe. The day’s chapter to read and explore. Three writing prompts, with space for your responses. A body map as the fourth prompt, to notice and record what you feel. A closing guided exercise with my voice and the original music.
