Self intimacy - We tend to project our thoughts and feelings onto others.
We tend to abandon ourselves in something that sets us off, and also we project that on to our partners as well.
Problems in a relationship start with us abandoning ourselves, not feeling ourselves, not honoring the "bitter, tender, anxious one etc" We try to stuff it and spiritually bypass that one.
The best thing you can do is to be loving and intimate with the part of ourselves that is scared, angry etc. (Any tender feelings that we experience as humans)
1. Energetic Intimacy - starting with breath, energetic pulse within us, life beneath the sensations. There is something living in us and when we feel the energetic pulse of that we are intimate with ourselves. Feeling the emotional experience we are having.
Take a moment to be with the experience we are in, and make a pattern of making them happy.
ie. Give our power away by not maintaining the space of self intimacy and practicing that beat and the experience of being lived in this moment and living for the divine.
We often skip being with our hearts.
1. Follow up discussion on Polyamory. Using the feminine (experience) to feel self and avoid self intimacy. (There are healthy and unhealthy ways to do this). Interest in a Feminine Cleanse.
2. Motivated to be open to dating again - Has been a teacher for 20 years. Feels "Superior". Difficult for practiced women to date. In the relational space women are way ahead of the men. Get clear on the one thing that matters more than anything else. What can you work with and build on through the giving of your gifts.
3. Together then apart - Recently met up and their connection was magnetic. How do they move forward with love and reconciliation? Get in relationship with She and she. (Little and big S)
4. Biggest Wound is being chosen - Fallen in love with a man who is in partnership. He has chosen her and is uncoupling so they can be together and her wound is being activated. Need for constant reassurance. What if the part of you that needs constant reassurance is perfect and beautiful and you don't need to shut her down or hide her away. You just get to be with her. Ground her as the adult woman through your hand on her heart - ground her heart.
5. Reflecting on a past relationship - There was a projection sent his way during a reconciliation process. Didn't feel a willingness to share her stuff. What does he need and what capacity is he needing from a partner?
6. Trigger/Shadow or is she gaslighting herself/is it a boundary? Don't abandon yourself in your truth.
7. Questions about uncoupling - is it best to stay in connection or to take lots of space and have no contact. Relationships are a flow of energy - how does it want to move you? You don't need to force anything - it's just happening. Work with it rather than trying to control it. What is kind and compassionate for both of you.
8. How to navigate with a partner who is neurodivergent? In situations of overwhelm, soothe yourself and then soothe your partner.
