Inspiring Quotes of the Week...
Create Intimacy
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.” ~ Kahlil Gibran
Trans4mind Training offers a wide range of interactive video workshops, covering each of the major life challenges we encounter in our lives. 'Create Intimacy' is the ninth workshop in the Enhancing Relationships Module of 9 workshops.
A friend of mine describes intimacy as into-me-see, which I think is a lovely way of describing what happens when we drop our defenses and meet at the level of our shared humanity. This is important because it is in totally knowing another and being totally known by another that we discover our uniqueness - for the best way to know ourselves is to share ourselves - then all that was hidden comes forth to be expressed and discovered.
What a joy it is to completely trust another human being. What healing takes place in such an open exchange. When we share our vulnerability, open and defenseless, we come, perhaps for the first time, into the reality of ourselves and into the present, where true love resides. Furthermore such into-me-see can happen between any two human beings - indeed the very word human being has the present moment built into it. This was the natural state of our ancestors and of a few untarnished native peoples still present in the world today.
As modern people we can have it all - a technically enhanced life and loving relationships. All we need to do is to see a way through all the pretense and punditry that has gathered to blur our natural state of connection. This workshop will give you the tools to let down your defenses and to know and be known. It explores ways of understanding and experiencing intimacy that can enrich relationships with the people in your life and, just as importantly, with yourself.
