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. :-)
