This month highlights the theme of communication and how being more intimate with ourselves and each other can dissolve so many barriers and create more vulnerability in all of life.
Intimacy is not just a place we get to by engaging with our partners between the sheets. It's much more than that. It's where we allow ourselves to truly know who we are - how we function, what's true and correct for us - and that's a constantly evolving universe that requires constant reviewing of ourselves and our lives! It's where we know we can be vulnerable with people, business and money, allowing them 'in' to our worlds so they truly know who we are.
In my business, most relationship issues surface from misunderstanding and miscommunication, where words have been misapplied and misidentified. This can create massive conflict and judgment which is what gets between us having intimacy with each other. Simply put, it creates separation.
Often times in seminars, where courageous participants are willing to grow in this area with relationship to partners, we'll go through or process all of their concerns, doubts, hurts and I'll ask - 'have you had this conversation with your partner?' and it's always a 'no!' While it is not always comfortable to have these honest conversations with each other, it is a massive step toward honouring yourself and your partner, creating a platform to grow with each other and you get to co-create the relationship that works for you!
Imagine a relationship that goes beyond what your idea of intimacy is and into something greater than you knew was possible? What would you choose if you could create the intimacy in relationship you truly desire?
