Hey… it’s Teri.
Are you ready for part two of our series? Yay!
The deep and marvelous feeling of intimacy thrives in a
"safe place". We open up if we feel secure. We take risks if we feel
secure. The challenge is, how do we find this security and safety?
Most of the time individuals feel secure when they're with
somebody who's really accepting, loving and compassionate. The issue is that
humans aren't completely dependable when it comes to these traits. Most
individuals have bad days and might be cranky or crabby.
What happens to safety if the other person’s acceptance and
lovingness vanishes? It can feel like a mess…
Producing a safe enough environment for intimacy to thrive
means that each individual needs to take responsibility for producing safety
within themselves, as well as security inside the relationship.
How do we learn to remain connected, and non-reactive in the
face conflict?
We must learn to open our hearts.. completely and totally.
To be vulnerable and not be afraid of that. To open the heart chakra and fill
it with energy that we can connect to and can distribute throughout the body.
An amazing exercise for this is The Tantric Heart Exercise -
a simple two-part exercise to release your heart from your mind's vicious grip
and turn your dominant thoughts from fear-based to intimacy-based.
This exercise must really be demonstrated (certain breathing
etc.) as merely writing it doesn't do it justice.
You can learn that valuable exercise for free. :-)
