What Is Intimate Communion?
Nipples, lips, warmth and caress: it starts with two bodies entwined as one, moving like a sensitive snake of tongue and fire, shivering up the spine and down the belly. Then, mind gives way to flesh, and flesh gives way to love. The very surfaces of touch open out into the light of love. Mouth opens, body opens, mind opens, so wide and bright that you are gone in love, your partner ís gone in love, and love ís all that remains. Asa woman, you have become the all of his desire. As a man, you have become the spine of her surrender. Grateful for your demise in light, the Divine is alive in every lovers smile, This book is for men and women who are turned on by sex, love and true spiritual ecstasy. It is for people who enjoy tangled bodies, open hearts and enlightened minds. If you are not delighted by a style af intimacy involving deep passion, deep devotion and deep understanding —-all three—then thís book ís not for you. When a man and woman embrace one another without guarding themselves, without protecting themselves or holding back, then they naturally transmit to one another an ecstatic force of sexual energy. love and oneness. At the beginning of many intimacíies, thís transmission is often body-blissing. heart-rending and mind-blowing. But after several years, many intimacies become, at best, loving friendships between two people who, ín truth, desire something much deeper — deeper sexual union, deeper devotion, deeper understanding. Many of us have experienced “old-style” intimacíies based on roles of male control and female giving, and have found such relationships to result in unhealthy dependence and pain. Many have then grown into “modern-style" intimacíies based on independence and fairness. W hat has been the result ? Have our well-intentioned efforts toward internal balance and selfresponsibility inadvertently eroded the attractive power in our intimate relationships? Is there actually another step to take, beyond even personal independence and healthy self-esteem, by which we can finally let down our guard in intimate love and relax deeply into our natural sexual core? How do we take thís next step toward heartfelt passion and spiritual vitality in modern intimacybeyond male domination, beyond idealistic feminíism, and beyond safe but lukewarm “so5o partnerships"without losing the ground we have gained ? After years of counseling and conducting relationship workshops across the United States, it seerns obvious to me that it ís time for men and women to take the next step in their style of intimate relationship. This new style of intimacy would extend beyond old sex roles for men and women. It would also extend beyond the guarded sense of independence that often holds passionate sexual surrender at arms length
