Understanding Sacred Intimacy
The concept of sacred intimacy revolves around three foundational pillars: intimacy practice, devotion to love, and sexual polarity. The first pillar emphasizes creating a sense of sameness, which transcends physical and sexual boundaries, enabling a connection that can occur between individuals, nature, or even spaces. This practice encourages individuals to recognize their similarities with one another, fostering closeness and reducing emotional distance. By engaging in this practice, participants can achieve a profound understanding of both their own and others' experiences, allowing for a deeper emotional connection.
Practicing Energetic Intimacy
Energetic intimacy focuses on attuning oneself to the subtle life forces that flow within both oneself and others. This practice involves deep, conscious breathing and mindfulness to become sensitive to the ‘hum’ of life that exists in every being, including oneself and one’s intimate partner. By matching breath rhythms and gazing into each other's eyes, partners can deepen their mutual understanding and emotional resonance, creating a shared energetic experience. This technique can be practiced solo or partnered, inviting a nourishing connection that prepares the ground for deeper physical intimacy.
Exploring Human Recognition
Human to human recognition serves as a vital intimacy practice by acknowledging and sharing emotional experiences, fears, desires, and expectations. Partners begin by understanding their own emotional states and then create a safe space for one another to reveal their vulnerabilities, nurturing trust and openness. This exchange not only validates each partner's feelings but also enhances the emotional bond by recognizing shared human struggles. By facilitating honest communication, this practice allows partners to navigate their relationship dynamics with greater empathy and understanding.
"I'm having an experience of being human here. I've got a heart. I've got feelings. I've got sensations. I'm living life. I'm dealing with joys and disappointments and fears and my own brand of neurosis and you're probably doing the same. And so when we start to reveal our shared humanity to another and we start to really tune in to each other's fears, each other's desires, each other's experience of being human, we begin to recognize our own experience of being human through another, that is another beautiful form of intimacy."-John Wineland
