In the morning, Vera woke up and raised her head. Ira was already gone, and Deniska was still asleep. She quickly tidied up her sleeping place and went to the house. Ira was standing at the table, ironing something. They greeted each other.
-I'm making covers for our shoes out of oilcloth. In the morning, the grass is usually covered with dew, and if we go for a run, our feet will be wet in five minutes.
-Yes, you're smart. I didn't think of that. I think it will be very good.
Vera joined in, and soon they were able to try on the results of their work. After walking around the room, they took them off again and decided to make more ties so they wouldn't fall off.
-Great. I'll go get Deniska.
Ira stayed behind to get dressed. A few minutes later, Vera and Deniska came in. Vera helped the sleepy Deniska get dressed in a tracksuit, and they all went outside.
-I suggest we all run separately. Everyone adjusts to their own pace and breathing rhythm. I'll go first and wait for you on the shore, opposite the edge of the forest. My advice is to run slowly so that your breathing doesn't get out of sync. When running, we don't expend energy, but absorb it from the air and the sun's rays. Breathe only through your nose. Run at a pace that allows you to breathe slowly and evenly. With regular exercise, your running speed will automatically increase.
As we inhale, we draw in the Earth's energy through the coccyx, conducting it from the bottom, up the back, and to the crown of the head. As we exhale, we lower it through the front line of the nose, stomach, and the point below the navel. We gather energy there. This is the lower cauldron or lower Dan Tian or Hara point. This point is located 3-4 cm below the navel and is a reservoir of vital energy in the human body. It is also permissible to draw in the energy of the sun through the crown of the head as you inhale and immediately place it in the lower cauldron as you exhale. This running technique is used in the East. This is the secret of the running of the Tibetan lamas lun-gom-pa and the Japanese practice of Kaikogyo. Having learned to absorb energy, a person can easily cover long distances with health benefits.
-Everything is clear. We will try. Son, don't catch up with Ira.
-Yes, I understand. I won't interfere.
Ira ran off. Vera and Deniska counted to 60, and then Deniska ran. Vera tried to keep the same interval and started running. Already on the shore, they all saw each other. Ira stopped and waited for them. They gathered together.
-How are you? Did it work? Are you out of breath?
-No, it's fine. I woke up right away.
-Yes, it worked for me. The main thing is not to rush and to breathe comfortably.
-That's right, Vera. Comfortably is the key." We've warmed up, now let's stretch our muscles and head back.
Under Ira's guidance, they did exercises to stretch the muscle groups in different parts of the body. The shoe covers that Ira and Vera had sewn came in very handy. Their feet were completely dry, and it even got a little hot. After the warm-up, they easily ran back.
-Wow. That feels good!
Vera took a deep breath, leaned forward, lowered her arms, and exhaled.
-Son, help me.
Deniska approached his mother. Vera turned her back to him, exposing the strap of her bra.
-Unhook it for me, I want to take it off, it's restricting my movement.
-How?
-Put your hands under my T-shirt, there are regular hooks on my back. Connect the two halves, it should unhook.
Deniska tried to do as she said. It worked.
-Thanks, son. I'll do the rest myself.
Without taking off her T-shirt, Vera pulled out her bra.
-Honey, do the same for me.
Deniska turned to Ira and helped her get rid of her constricting garment as well.
-Why did you wear them? It's hot right now.
-Thank you, honey. We're going for a run.
-Oh. I see.
Deniska shook his head, but didn't understand. "Why wear them for running? They're restrictive, and it's easier to breathe without them." Ira also freed herself from her bra under her T-shirt.
-Ira, can I do muscle strengthening exercises now? There's nowhere to do pull-ups yet, but I'll do push-ups.
-Of course. Definitely.
Vera also turned to Vera.
-Vera, remember you said that Dulma did exercises that helped her stay young? Can you show them to me?
-Yes, I can. You can do them in the morning or in the evening, that's enough.
Meanwhile, Deniska was already doing push-ups on the bench. He decided that he would alternate push-ups with squats. He decided not to put too much strain on himself at first, so as not to get muscle soreness. He decided to use his past experience when he had done a little swimming in a sports club.
-Will I be able to learn them? Are they difficult?
-You can, Vera. They're not difficult at all. They're exercises from Hatha yoga. She also gave massages. They're special. That's where the main meaning lies. To feel and get the effect from them, you need to accumulate energy in your body.
They went into the house. Ira took her beach blanket and spread it on the floor. Sitting on it, she showed Vera the exercises that Dulma had shown her mother. Vera tried to repeat Ira's movements exactly.
-Overall, you're doing it right. I'll show you another one in the evening. It's also essential. And breathing. Whenever you have a chance, during the day, when you are at rest, you need to breathe and hold your breath. I'll also tell you about the ratio between inhalation, breath holding, and exhalation.
-And when will it be visible? I mean, when will I become younger?
-There will be changes in your body. Only after that will time run backwards. Look closely in the mirror. It will show up on your face first. The wrinkles on your skin will smooth out. Your face will become softer and rosier.
-Irish, do you do them yourself?
-Yes. As soon as I got my own place, I started doing them. How old do you think I am?
-I always thought we were about the same age, or that you were five years younger than me.
-So, the exercises are working. I'm a little older.
-No way! That's great. You're so talented. Starting today, I'm going to do them too. It's amazing.
-Yes, I'm surprised myself that it's possible. What's more, these exercises work even after the age of 60. When Dulma lost all her loved ones in the military conflict between Tibet and British troops, she fled her village. For several years, she wandered and begged for alms. Hunger led her to a remote monastery, far from the pedestrian trade routes. She stayed there. The nuns introduced her to life in the monastery.

-So gradually she mastered the practices and took their teachings to heart. As my mother recounted, after a year of daily practice, her monthly cycle returned, but then stopped. After that, changes began to occur in her body, and her internal clock began to run backwards.
Deniska had already finished his strength exercises. Going into the house, he saw his mother and Ira sitting on the blanket. Apparently, they were talking about something. Deniska walked past them so as not to disturb them and sat down on his bed.
-Irisha, thank you for teaching me. I'll make breakfast.
-And I'll do a little cleaning.
Deniska quickly washed up and finished attaching the crossbar before breakfast. At breakfast, they decided it would be nice to go to the second lake. They got ready quickly. Vera checked the bags again.
-I think we've got everything. Son, where are our sticks?
-Yes, right now.
The weather was kind to them. The warm summer sun warmed the earth and a light breeze blew on their faces. They crossed the river and climbed the familiar path up the edge of the forest. The tops of the birch trees were already visible. The singing of the birds was joined by the cuckooing of a cuckoo in the distance. The first lake appeared unnoticed. They went around it and approached the place where they had been yesterday. Walking to the end of the lake, they followed the stream that flowed into it. Ira walked ahead, followed by Deniska, with Vera bringing up the rear. Here, there was shade from the trees. As they navigated around obstacles made of branches, it was clear that no one had been here for a long time.
-When will it end? We've been walking and walking, and there's no second lake.
-Vera, can you hear the water rushing ahead? There must be a path up to the lake somewhere.
Vera listened.
-Yes, something is making noise.
They approached the place where the stream flowed over branches and small bumps, falling down into its bed like a small waterfall. They climbed this hill, and a fairy-tale beauty opened up before them. It was the second lake. It was a secluded corner of nature, imbued with tranquility and beauty. White birch trunks rose around the lake, creating a kind of natural barrier around the water's surface. The thin branches of the birches bent down, barely touching the water, as if trying to envelop it with their light shade. Lilies floated on the water's surface, creating an amazing sight. Snow-white water lilies with graceful yellow and white petals revealed their beauty on the surface of the lake. Sometimes their dense buds rose above the water, like little fairies covering the water's surface with their magic. The sun's rays broke through the branches and illuminated their colorful attire. In this forest corner, the quiet harmony of nature lingered: birds singing in the foliage of the trees, the rustle of the wind in the birch leaves, the gentle murmur of water flowing into the stream. Nature revealed its beauty in the most delicate and peaceful form, inviting everyone to enjoy moments of tranquility and admiration. They froze.
-This is the first time I've seen such beauty. We have a lot of coniferous trees on the Zeya, but here, on the contrary, there are more deciduous trees.
Deniska approached the water, dipped his hand in it, and splashed around.
-It's warm. Warmer than the first lake. Where shall we settle down?
-Let's walk around and take a look.
They wandered along the shore and chose a spot. They chose a small, open, flat clearing where there was more sun. If you sat down and stretched your head out, you could see the surface of the lake. If you lay down, the grass covered you. They spread out a blanket. Vera and Ira took off their clothes. There was no need to change; they were already wearing their swimsuits. They tied their hair back and were ready to go to the water. Deniska undressed in a second and was already looking for his swimming goggles in his bag. They approached the shore. There was a convenient place nearby to get into the water. Vera looked around.
-Ira, maybe we should do it without him?
Vera pointed to her swimsuit top.
-There doesn't seem to be anyone here. Let's put them on the shore nearby. If someone comes, Deniska will bring them to us in the water, and we'll get dressed.
-Let's do it. Deniska, can you bring them to us?
-Yes, I can. They're not heavy.
Vera and Ira took off their bras and handed them to Deniska. Ira was closer to him, so Vera handed them to Ira, and Ira handed both items to Deniska. He stared at their breasts and froze. Ira ruffled his hair. Deniska moved away from the shore and, where the grass began, put them down in plain sight. Hearing a splash, he looked back.
-How nice! What beautiful water! Son, if you want, you can take off your swimming trunks. There's no one here.
Vera turned away from the shore and swam to the nearest water lily. Ira dived in and went underwater. "Mom's right. Then there's the hassle of drying them, wringing them out, hanging them up." Deniska quickly pulled them off and went into the water. He waded in up to his waist and put on his goggles. "Yes, the water is noticeably warmer here. Or maybe it's just warmed up better. The underwater springs are the same everywhere." Deniska swam to the middle. He swam and tried not to touch the water lilies with his hand. "They were even more beautiful up close." After swimming for a while, he swam over to Ira and his mother. They were swimming along the shore. He dived nearby, looked at the outlines of their breasts under the water, and admired them. Ira suggested playing a game of "tag in the water with diving." In this game, the tagger dives and must touch, tag, and catch the player in the water. As soon as the tagger dives underwater, the player does not dive and can move no more than two meters away from that spot and freeze. The tagger must swim underwater and guess where the player will move.
-Just don't go too far, or it will be difficult to tag the player. Let me catch you first. Ready?
They moved away from each other.
-Ready. I'm diving.
Mom and Deniska moved two meters to the side and froze. The first time, Ira didn't catch anyone. The second time, Vera was the catcher. Then it was Deniska's turn. Mom caught him underwater with her hands. She caught him with both hands from the side, covering his buddy with one hand and grabbing his butt with the other. He was small and shrank from the water.
-Oh, you're not wearing swimming trunks. Well done.
It was Deniska's turn. He dived in and swam towards Ira to catch her. Underwater, he realized the advantage his goggles gave him. Even from a distance of three meters, he could see the blurry outline of a human body under the water. He dove, swam a little forward, saw Ira, and headed toward her underwater. He hugged her around the hips and surfaced right in front of her. He liked it. Close underwater, he could see Ira's body and her nipples.
-Mom, I have an advantage over you. My glasses allow me to see a little underwater. Let me catch you all the time. And when I get tired, we'll switch.
Everyone agreed, and Deniska began to dive and look for Vera and Ira. He liked it; he loved diving. Here he swam underwater to the blurry outline of a person. He could make out the color of her swimsuit bottoms. It was Mom. He swam toward her. Her panties were right in front of his eyes. He raised his head and saw her breasts swaying in the water. He slowly began to float to the surface and, on some kind of reflex, took her nipple between his lips and sucked it in. He paused. He was running out of breath, so he let go and surfaced.
-Son, what's wrong? Did you swallow some water?
-No, Mom. Are you okay? It just happened. I didn't expect it.
He seemed to be apologizing to his mother, even though there was no anger in her tone.
-Okay. Since it worked out, let it be. Just don't accidentally drink the water.
They returned to their starting positions, and Deniska dove toward Ira. After swimming underwater to the spot where Ira was supposed to be, he didn't see her. He turned his head underwater. He was running out of air. He surfaced. Ira was standing neck-deep in the water and smiling at him.
-I didn't catch you, I didn't catch you.
-Yes, I didn't see you. I assumed you were somewhere nearby.
Next in line was his mother. He saw her again underwater and kissed her nipple as he surfaced. He tried to linger in that moment as long as his air would last. Then he dove again toward Ira. This time he saw her outline in the distance right away and swam straight to her. She was up to her neck in water. He looked up. Her breasts were clearly visible against the light background of the water's surface. He slowly stretched out both arms and covered them with his palms. As he surfaced, he helped himself and took her nipple between his lips, squeezing it tightly and pulling it into his mouth. His buddy grew larger and pressed against Ira's legs somewhere around her thighs. In order not to float up and stay underwater, he wrapped his legs around Irina's legs and pressed himself against them with his buddy. He held the nipple as long as he had enough air to hold his breath. He surfaced and took a quick breath. As if apologizing, he said.
-Ira, I couldn't help myself, I wanted to kiss you so much.
-It's okay, honey. That was really nice.
Ira kissed him on the lips and hugged him. Vera was close by and understood everything. Deniska swam away from them again.
-Ready? I'm diving.
-Yes, dive.
Vera waved to Ira, beckoning her over. Ira dove down to Vera and was right beside her in an instant.
-Ira, does he kiss you underwater too?
-Yes, he just kissed me for the first time.
-He's kissed me several times already. What should we do?
-I don't think anything. We're naked in front of him. It's normal." Boys are mostly visual creatures. Let him learn to control himself. I think he's not wearing any underwear. How do you think he'll feel if you forbid him now?
-He'll probably feel guilty for what he did. But it's not his fault that we're in front of him like this, and it's a healthy natural reaction. You know, I was thinking, he saved us from ticks, he gives us pleasant moments when he massages us there, kisses our breasts, and we just teach him and teach him, we haven't even done anything pleasant, I mean, like a woman can.
-Yes, you're right. It's normal for him to react to bare breasts. As for pleasure, you can kiss his mate, but very carefully and not for long. Gradually, you can increase the time. You can massage it with your hand, but also carefully.
-Let's take our goggles and kiss his buddy underwater? That will be our answer. Irish, maybe I'm being silly suggesting this? I want to thank him somehow and caress him. Won't that be going too far on my part?
-I don't think so. You're right, the honey brings us so much joy. He has magic hands. We should caress his soldier tonight, but under control. He is very gentle and sensitive, and we need to be extremely careful. And now, yes. You are absolutely normal. You love him, and those are your feelings. You can kiss him underwater. It won't last long, and he won't have time to get too excited.
Deniska surfaced and found no one there. He looked around and saw his mother and Ira standing in the water to the side, talking quietly about something. His mother waved at him. He swam over to them.
-Son, can you give Ira and me your goggles? We want to try diving and finding you too.
-Yes, of course. Take them.
He took off his goggles and handed them to his mother. Vera took them and tried them on. Deniska helped her. He stretched the elastic band and centered them over her eyes.
-Sit down with your head under water and open your eyes.
Vera submerged her head under water and began to turn her head from side to side. She surfaced.
-I can see well. The water is a little murky. We stirred it up with our feet. I'm ready, the water doesn't leak in. Move away from us, and I'll try to find you with the goggles on.
Deniska moved away so that his mother would have enough air.
-Mom, I'm standing here, I won't go far. Dive in.
Vera dove in and swam toward Deniska. At first, she couldn't see anything but the bottom. Then she saw a blurry outline—it was Deniska standing there. His buddy swayed with the movement of the water and was small. She swam up to him and wrapped her legs around his. She took his buddy in her hands and covered it with her lips. Deniska, taken by surprise, put his hand on his mother's head. She pulled back the top layer of flesh and plunged him as deep as she could into herself. Deniska felt a strong impulse that pierced his buddy, and he instantly became hard. She was afraid that her movements would cause ejaculation, so gently, enveloping him with her tongue several times in a circle, she released him and put the skin back on. Her air supply was running out. She surfaced, took off her glasses, and looked at Deniska.
-Mom, I didn't expect that.
-Son, I kissed you. I wanted to thank you. You are very good. Did I scare you?
-No. It was nice. Did you force yourself?
-No, what are you talking about? Can I give the goggles to Ira? She wants to thank you too.
-Yes.
Vera swam over to Ira. She helped her put on the goggles. Her hair got in the way, just like it did for her.
-Try diving.
Ira crouched down and submerged her head underwater. Her goggles didn't leak, and without surfacing, she swam underwater toward Deniska. She saw him immediately. His mate was still erect and pointing upward. She swam up and immediately latched onto Deniska, wrapping her legs around him from below. With her right hand, she wrapped around him from behind and pressed the Xuan Guan area. With her left hand, she took his penis and gently opened the head. From this distance, everything was clearly visible through her goggles. She covered it with her lips and gradually took it deeper and deeper into herself. She herself was experiencing new sensations. She had never done this before. "Well, now you're not a nun." Ira was good at holding her breath, so she began to make various movements with her tongue in her mouth and did not rush to surface. With her right hand, she pressed his point. Denis was overcome with a feeling of euphoria. "I can't do this for long. He won't be able to take it." Ira plunged him deep inside her once more and touched the back of her throat with him. Releasing him, she put the skin of the upper flesh back on, covered him with her lips again, and teased the tip frequently with her tongue. Still, she surfaced, her air supply running low.
-Thank you, Irisha. I almost fell. It was very good.
-Thank you too. You saved me, and you caress me with your hands and kiss me all the time.
They hugged and kissed on the lips. Their tongues joined.
-Well, that's it, honey. Let's get out. Let's go sunbathe.
Vera, watching Deniska, began to worry a little. Ira had been underwater for so long. "Oh well. It's probably her first time. That's how different people's destinies can be. Everyone's life is different." She was calm about one thing: Deniska wouldn't do anything bad to Ira. Ira emerged from the water. "Well, everything's fine. We should get out now." She waited until they turned toward her.
-How are you? Maybe we should go sunbathe? We've been in the water longer than ever today.
-Yes, Verchik. I was going to suggest the same thing.
They went to the shore. On the way, they tilted their heads to the side and squeezed their hair with their hands. Their breasts swayed so gracefully that Deniska forced himself to look away so as not to stare at them.
-Son, will you get our clothes? We'll go ahead, and you can catch up with us.
-Yes, I'll be right there. She's right here.
Deniska quickly found the tops of their swimsuits in the grass and quickly caught up with his mother and Ira. They were walking ahead of him. His mother turned and looked up at him. He didn't notice how she looked at his buddy.
-Well, did you swim enough?
She hugged him by the shoulders.
-Give me everything. Free your hands.
-Yes, I've had enough swimming. I really liked the water. And I liked diving.
-Well, that's good. Now let's warm up and sunbathe.
They approached the blanket. Vera and Ira immediately took off their wet panties. After wringing them out, they hung everything on the nearest rowan branch. Deniska expected to be asked to turn away, but his mother said nothing and felt at ease, as did Ira. Deniska took off his glasses and lay down on his back on the blanket. Covering his buddy with a towel, he watched his mother and Ira from below. The lower folds of their buttocks were especially beautiful, and he admired the smooth transitions of their lines. They dried their hair with a towel and began to settle down on the blanket. Vera and Ira sat down on the edge of the blanket.
-Let's lie on our backs for a bit and warm up, then we'll rub our backs and start sunbathing.
They lay down next to Deniska.
-Oh, I've had enough swimming. That's nice. Ira, how can you stay underwater for so long?
-I'm training to hold my breath. I try to breathe and hold my breath every day. If I can't do it during the day, then before bed.
-What for? Does it help you stay young too?
-Yes, but not only that. As they write in the Vedic books, this kind of breathing helps keep your immunity at a very high level.
-How do you hold your breath?
-Slow inhale, hold, and slow exhale. The ratio is 1-4-2.
-How does that work?
-For example, you can hold your breath for 32 seconds without straining too much. Divide 32 by 4 to get the inhalation time. Divide 32 by 2 to get the exhalation time.
-I see. 8 seconds to inhale, 32 seconds to hold, and 16 seconds to exhale.
-Yes. It is strictly individual for each person. Increase very gradually, one or two seconds at a time, no more than once a week. You need to bring the delay to 64 seconds. If you feel discomfort, stop the exercises and start again in a week. If you do everything correctly, your health will become perfect, so to speak.
-I also like to hold my breath. It's so interesting when you swim underwater for a long time and see the bottom, and there's a whole living world there — algae, fish.
-Irisha, sorry to interrupt you.
She turned to Deniska.
-So, fish, let me rub your back so you can sunbathe, and then you can rub ours.
Vera took her bag and took out the sunscreen. Deniska lay on his stomach, and Vera rubbed all the parts of his body she could reach, his back and legs.
-Yes, thank you, Mom. I'll turn my back to the sun. Shall I rub you now?
-Yes, we'll turn over onto our stomachs. Here, hold this.
Mom handed him the bag with the cream. He opened it to take the sunscreen and found a second tube, which was hand cream, lying next to the sunscreen. He squeezed two portions of sunscreen onto his palm, rubbed it between his hands, and began to apply it to his shoulders and forearms in circular motions. Alternating between rubbing with both hands and one hand, he quickly finished his mother's and Ira's backs and moved on to their bottoms, thighs, and legs.
After finishing rubbing her calves, he returned to her thighs and began rubbing them in the hollows. He stroked her gently. The cream was quickly absorbed. For the next portion, he took hand cream, which retained moisture for a long time and allowed for gentle body rubbing. He touched her buttocks and tried to get deeper. Mom and Ira were waiting for this moment. They spread their legs, and his hand slid deep inside. Since Deniska was sitting between their legs, he did not prevent them from spreading. He raised himself on his knees and pushed their hips together with his hands, and they easily yielded to him and closed together. They moved closer and began to touch shoulders. Now Mom and Ira's hips were close together, and he sat on their hips. His knees pressed against the blanket between their legs.
-Mom, am I heavy? It's just more comfortable for me this way.
-You're not heavy. Sit there.
Deniska slipped his palms in and completely covered the mounds with them. Now nothing was in his way, and he began to rub there. Mom and Ira lifted their asses a little, and he could see everything very well. He really liked the sight. Such perfect lines. And the skin was so smooth and soft. Just from looking at it, he felt a strong tension in his groin. His soldier was looking up and was hard. He shifted his attention to himself and began to do lower locks and pull up his lower abdomen. He didn't stop rubbing, he just slowed down.
His fingers were already inside her. Now he knew how everything worked inside and understood which part of the mound his fingers were touching. Mom and Ira responded to his movements and rocked their hips sideways and upward. At times he heard a "Mm" sound. But it stopped immediately. His knees were spread apart, and he gently squeezed Mom and Ira's thighs with them. He felt very pleased with the awareness and perception of what he was doing. Sometimes he closed his eyes and saw light before his eyes. He couldn't determine the color. It was a very bright spot. He felt that as soon as he relaxed his lower abdomen, his buddy became like a stone and he became heavy with tension. "No, I can't relax my lower abdomen." He sucked in hard again and tightened his lower abdomen. After a while, he still felt that he needed to press the spot, as the tension had reached almost the pain threshold and he needed to relax. He got up on his knees and lay down on his mother and Ira. His fighter was positioned right between their thighs. His knees still squeezed their thighs, but only from above. He did not remove his hands, and they continued to move back and forth. His head rested on the blanket. Mom and Ira moved slightly apart, letting him in, and immediately turned their heads toward him.
-Mom, press the spot for me. I can't do it myself.
He pressed his fighter between his thighs and pushed him deeper, then relaxed, and pushed again. These movements came naturally to him because of the general tension.
-Yes, son, now.
-Honey, now. Breathe deeper through your nose.
They said it almost simultaneously. Mom and Ira each covered his butt with their nearest hand and found his point. Her two hands pressed down so that one hand was higher and the other shifted lower and pressed the point closer to his butt. He immediately felt better. He turned his head toward his mom.
-Thank y...
He didn't have time to say thank you. Mom kissed him on the lips. He felt her tongue and touched it with his own tongue. Ira breathed behind his ear and then kissed his ear. The kiss echoed pleasantly. Mom was already kissing his eyelids. It was a kiss from the heart, filled with a mother's love for her son.
-Thank you, dear. Kiss Ira.
Deniska turned his head toward Ira, and they kissed immediately. Ira touched him with the tip of her tongue as gently and tenderly as she could. Deniska clumsily repeated her movements. For them, he was the Sun, and they were the Moons for him. His hot, nascent Yang energy, golden and insatiable, tried to illuminate every curve of their bodies with its rays. Their Moons, silvery and deep, absorbed his light and returned it, softening it with their breath. Yin and Yang intertwined, completing a circle with no beginning and no end.
Unconsciously, Ira felt the energy emanating from Deniska, which, like rays of light, transformed the morning dew in her heart into pearls, changing her perception of the world. Their souls spoke to each other in a language only they understood. Only the wind of the birch forest heard them and carried their conversation throughout the world, breathing images of life into it, filling it with meaning and light. Their lips touched timidly, like the first rays of the rising sun gliding across the horizon. At this moment, white and black, light and darkness recognize each other, warming and cooling at the same time in the nascent balance of the echo of distant stars. And only the universe, holding its breath, watches this miracle of the merging of the energies of Yin and Yang, which for a moment become one, without ceasing to be themselves. Denis did not feel his hands. The centers of his palms felt the energy of Shakti with an inner tremor throughout his body. Ira's words brought him out of his state of euphoria.
-Honey, move your fingers, press my point. It feels really good.
Denis did as Ira asked.
-Press harder.
He felt Ira herself squeezing his hand with her buttocks, pushing them together. He pressed harder. Almost immediately after Ira's request, his mother turned to him.
-Son, press my point too, just like Ira's.
Deniska moved his hand and pressed his mother's point with three fingers. At that moment, his mother and Ira kissed him on the cheeks and ears. He responded by turning his head from side to side. At that moment, they tried to kiss him on the lips. He responded as best he could. Their hands intertwined behind his back. He managed to hold his mother and Ira's points, while his mother and Ira pressed his point together. After a while, they all felt relief. The strong arousal of sexual energy began to subside. As far as Deniska understood, it was redirected upward.
-Son, how are you?
-I'm fine. Can I lie like this some more?
-Son, lie down in the center.
They moved over, and Deniska lay down on his stomach on the blanket between them.
-Rest.
Vera raised her head above the grass and looked into the distance and around.
-No one is in sight. Only the birds are singing.
They lay down and relaxed in the sun. Vera fell asleep almost immediately. Deniska tossed and turned. Ira opened her eyes and mouthed, "Sleep." Deniska nodded and mouthed, "Yes." Sleep did not come. He remembered Ira's story yesterday about the Dakini dancers. "Divine beings dance." He tried to imagine a dancer. It turned out to be incredibly difficult. He repeated Ira's words in his mind, "with weapons in their hands, with decorations." Still, he couldn't do it.
He turned his head toward Ira, hoping she wasn't asleep. Her eyes were closed. "Too bad Ira's asleep." Suddenly, Ira opened her eyes and looked at him, as if asking, "honey, what do you want?" Deniska asked quietly so as not to wake his mother.
-How are they dressed?
-Who?
-The Dakini?
-They are naked.
Ira described what the Dakini looked like on the tanks. Many Dakini served to transmit hidden teachings called terma. She must be depicted as beautiful, seductive, and attractive to people. As a rule, she is naked. In many images, Dakini has four arms, which signify her four states of mind: joy, love, impartiality, and compassion. It is believed that Dakini are capable of creating sexual desires in people, because with these desires, a person can attain universal wisdom by directing them toward the improvement of their body and mind.
Deniska nodded his head in understanding of this question, which was so important to him. He closed his eyes. Now the image of Dakini became much easier to visualize. Gradually, the sabers, arrows, and knives disappeared on their own, and only a vague image of a naked girl dancing remained in his mind. Deniska fell asleep.
Time flew by unnoticed. Ira woke up first. "It feels like an hour and a half has passed. We need to wake everyone up."
-Verc-h-i- i-k, wake up.
She whispered her name and touched her shoulder. Vera raised her head. There was a dent on her cheek from the fold of the blanket.
-Oh, how much time has passed?
-Now.
Ira took a watch out of her bag.
-It's already half past four. How quickly time has flown by. I thought we slept for a little over an hour, but in fact, it was two and a half.
-Yes, time flew by unnoticed in our sleep. Now the sun is warming us, so let's hope we don't get sunburned.
-Don't worry, look, you can see the branches bending in the wind. They're protecting us.
-Yes, I see. That's good. I don't like getting sunburned. Irisha, do you need to go to the bushes?
-Actually, I wouldn't mind. Let's go over there, see. We'll settle down behind them. Take a stick.
-A stick? Why?
-In case there's a rabbit there. We'll ask it to leave so it doesn't peek at us.
-Irisha, you know I'm afraid. What if there really is a rabbit? What if it jumps on me?
-I'll cover you then. Let's put on our tracksuits and go. I'll go first, you follow me.
They quickly got dressed and walked in single file in the direction indicated by Ira. Deniska was asleep and didn't hear that his mother and Ira had left. They expected to return quickly, but the beauty of the forest distracted them and they lost track of time. The bushes turned out to be young hazel trees. They looked at the green forest nuts still on the branches. For city dwellers, this was a novelty.
-Irisha, let's look for strawberries on the way back.
-We definitely will.
Deniska didn't hear that he was alone. He was having a dream that he didn't want to wake up from. The dancing girl touched the ground only with her toes stretched downward. At times, it seemed as if she were floating in the air. A thin loincloth barely covered her beauty. She spun like a ballerina. Each of her movements was carefully thought out and performed with grace. Her body bent and twisted, creating waves of light from the sun's reflections off her jewelry, which emphasized every line and curve of her body. She moved dynamically and passionately, raising and lowering her arms up and down like a bird soaring freely in the sky. Her face became clearer, and Deniska thought happily that now she would turn to him, and he would be able to see her better. At that moment, he looked closely at her face. The dancing girl was Ira.
-Ira? So you're Dakini?

Ira froze and fixed her gaze on him. Her wide-open, clear eyes looked at him and penetrated so deeply that he instantly woke up and opened his eyes. His heart was beating fast and hard. He took a deep breath and calmed down. It was a dream. "What a beautiful and vivid dream." There was no one around. "They're somewhere nearby. I have to wait," thought Deniska.
Vera and Ira wandered around a little longer, enjoying the beauty of the forest, and then headed back to their campsite, intending to get dressed and go home. When they returned, they saw Deniska standing on the blanket. He was dressed and looking at the lake, apparently searching for them.
-Mom, where have you been? I thought you had gone somewhere.
-Son, don't worry, we were right here. We didn't want to wake you up. How are you? Do your shoulders hurt?
Deniska shook his head, touching his shoulders.
-Not really.
-We'll see tonight. But if it doesn't hurt, that's good. We slept for more than two hours.
-Mom, I'm already dressed. I think it's late. We need to go home.
-Yes, let's get ready and go home.
They quickly got ready and walked back the way they came. They stopped near the first lake and ate strawberries. There were already many more berries.
-They'll ripen quickly. Next time I'll bring a basket for them.
-Two baskets or even three. Right, honey?
-Sure. I'll pick some too.
-If we fill one basket, that'll be good. They're small.
After the strawberries, without stopping anywhere, they walked quickly home. In the evening, Vera and Ira were cooking in the kitchen. Deniska was attaching a bar for pull-ups. He managed to secure it firmly. He checked it. The bar did not move where it was attached, and the pipe was thick. It should easily support the weight of two people. He tried doing pull-ups on it. He already liked the fact that he could hang from it. He hung there for a long time, relaxed, as long as his arms could hold him.
-Deniska, son, where are you?
-Mom, I'm here. I'm training.
Hearing his voice behind the house, she approached him. She examined his homemade "horizontal bar."
-You did a good job. It doesn't get in the way. Is it sturdy? Will it hold me?
-Yes, it will. Try it.
Vera approached and stood under the bar. She raised her arms, squatted down, and prepared to jump up. Deniska was nearby, waiting. Vera jumped, but couldn't reach the bar; she couldn't get there.
-Maybe I have a big butt, it doesn't let me jump high enough.
-Come on, Mom. You have a very nice butt. I love it very much. I'll go get a chair.
Deniska ran off to get a chair. Vera heard the door slam and Ira's voice from the house. Ira, realizing what the chair was for, also came out with Deniska. The chair was necessary. The ladder Deniska used to climb up was not suitable for Vera. Ira held the door, and Deniska carried the chair through. Vera laughed when she saw everyone rushing towards her.
-Well, Auntie's childhood is playing out somewhere, and everyone is suffering.
-Mom, we're helping.
He placed the chair in the center of the crossbar. Ira held the chair by its back, Vera lifted her leg onto it and stood on the chair. Deniska stood nearby, and she held onto his shoulders with her hands at the beginning of the climb. Climbing up, she grabbed the bar with both hands. She took a small step toward the edge of the chair, but it immediately tilted. Its leg sank slightly into the ground.
-Ouch, hold me.
Vera cried out. Ira grabbed the chair, trying to straighten it. Deniska raised his arms from below, wrapped them around his mother, and kept her from losing her balance. His hand slipped under his mother's robe and stopped on her buttocks. He stood in front of her so that she wouldn't fall forward, as he thought she would. "Mom isn't wearing any panties."
His palm rested on her bare body, and his hand touched her thigh. "How wonderful it is to support her like this." Vera began to move toward the edge of the chair in small steps and grabbed the crossbar with her hands.
-Okay, I'm going to try hanging now.
Holding on with her hands, she lowered her legs behind the chair and hung.
-Move the chair away.
She began to hang and twitch a little, up and down.
-Catch me, I'm going to jump.
Ira and Deniska stood on either side and held her by the waist.
-Hold on, Verchik, jump off.
Vera immediately let go of her hands and landed safely on the ground.
-My arms are weak. They can't hold my weight at all. But I felt that the crossbar was strong. It can hold two people like me. Well done, son. I'll worry less about you. Keep at it." Just add some soil in the center at the bottom, level it, and tamp it down.
-Can I try?
Ira also wanted to jump up and hang. They removed the chair, she stood in the center, crouched down, and jumped up. She almost made it.
-My fingers touched the metal, but she couldn't grab it. Can you help me?
-How? Irisha, tell us what to do.
-On both sides, hold me by the waist, and when I sit down and push myself up, push me up from both sides. On the count of three. Ready? One, two, thr-e-e.
Ira stretched her arms up to the bar and jumped. Deniska and Vera held her on both sides and pushed her up. Ira grabbed the bar and hung there.
-Oh, that feels good. I can feel everything stretching.
She began to swing her legs back and forth. Her flexible body bent at the waist. After hanging for a while and bending in different directions, she jumped down on her own.
-Great. The last time I hung on a horizontal bar was in college. My back has been asking to hang and stretch for a long time." Thank you, honey.
-You're welcome. Come hang out anytime.
-Son, we got a little distracted. The food will get cold. I came out to call you to eat. Let's go. We'll hang out on the horizontal bar every day.
They went into the house. Over dinner, Ira explained that the horizontal bar is, within reason, a very useful piece of gymnastic equipment and that the Old Believers, where her mother and grandmother lived, had both a horizontal bar and a "Pravilo" exercise machine. The basis of the exercises on them is the natural stretching of the human body. The "Pravilo" was always used in the fall, when the harvest was over. Both men and women used it. It restored health and healed injuries. The horizontal bar was used every day.
-So that's why I climbed onto the horizontal bar. My subconscious gave me a hint. Suddenly, I wanted to hang there so badly that I couldn't resist.
-I wanted to do it too. My body was just begging me to 'hang there, hang there'.
-Ira, why was the horizontal bar used every day?
-To stretch the spine. This increases the space between the vertebrae and enriches them with blood. After a hard day's work in the fields, stretching on the horizontal bar allowed us to fully rest and recover for the next day.
Over dinner and tea, they planned their morning exercises for the next day.
We watched the news on TV and a series. We made a list of groceries to buy for tomorrow. Time flew by. Soon they were getting ready for bed.
-Son, are you going to take a shower first, or do you have something to do, then we'll be first in line?
-Mom, you can go ahead." I wanted to hang on the horizontal bar. I just want to relax and stretch.
-All right, then. Just don't take too long and don't overdo it.
Deniska went outside. He approached the bar and looked at what he could do. He decided on the ground. "I'll pour it here and here, then level it out. It will be higher. If it's still too high and I can't jump up, I'll make a platform out of boards so I can jump up and reach it."
Ira went into the shower first. When she approached her bed, Vera was already there with a towel and immediately got ready to take a shower.
-Irisha, wait for me, I won't be long. Remember, you said you would show me another exercise that Dulma did.
-I'll wait, I'm not tired at all. Of course, I'll show you the exercise. It's not difficult, but it's important. Actually, there are other exercises, and they are all important. I'll gradually teach you.
-Irisha, thank you. I'll try very hard.
When Vera came out of the shower, Ira was sitting on the bed reading a magazine. Her sweater was lying on the nightstand.
-Iri, I'm ready.
-Yes, me too. Lie down here, with your head on your sweater.
She sat down close to the headboard and spread her legs wider. She placed her sweater on her lower abdomen. Vera settled down and lay down, as she said, resting her head on the sweater.
-Now I'll tell you a little bit about the theory. So, the physical exercises I showed you this morning are the first and main part of the exercises. If you don't do the second and third parts of the exercises, you will simply be a healthy person if you do the first part regularly. The second part is chest massage and special breathing. It is not advisable to do the second part if you do not do the first part of the exercises. The third part is breathing in a 1-4-2 ratio, as I mentioned earlier. The third part is both an independent practice, described in many ancient treatises, and a mandatory part for those who do breast massage. There is also a special breathing technique for women and embryonic breathing for men, which is partially present in all breathing practices.
-Is the massage unusual?
-It resembles a regular massage, which is very beneficial for women, but it is supplemented with special breathing and several rules for energy management. Can I show you?
-Yes, I'm ready.
-Okay, lie down flat and relax your body. I will massage you and explain a little. The exercises take about 15 minutes. Circular movements are performed below and above the mammary glands. This is just a guideline. At the beginning of the session, it may take longer. Like this. Do not touch the nipples.
You should feel the energy. Feel this energy between your breasts, just above your solar plexus. Here, I'm touching it.
-How do I feel it? I just feel good right now.
-Concentrate on it mentally. Breathe slowly and calmly, and as you exhale, redirect this energy to this point. Are you getting it?
Meanwhile, Deniska took out a ladder and leaned it against the wall of the house. On the second step, he stretched out and hung on the crossbar. He tried to pull himself up. With difficulty, he managed to do it twice. In his mind, he made a rough plan of exercises for each day. He firmly decided that he needed to work on gaining strength. "I'll have to ask Ira about the techniques again." After doing a few sets, he decided it was time to go to bed. When he entered the room, he saw his mother lying on Ira's bed. Her head was resting on a sweater between Ira's legs, and she was stroking her chest. He heard Ira ask his mother, "Is it working?" His mother did not have time to answer, as she raised her head toward Deniska.
-Oh, Mom. Did I interrupt you?
-No, dear. How could you interrupt? Ira is showing me exercises for women.
-Okay. I'll go take a shower then.
To be continued.
