Intimacy with Self & Others

Hello. First things first; many apologies for the big lump of time between blog posts, I disappeared for awhile to jump on a vertical yoga teacher learning curve. Back now :)

Now then, what do I mean by intimacy? I once heard Dossie Easton, matriarch of the modern conscious kink community, describe intimacy as ‘shared vulnerability’. This feels true for me, that the more vulnerable I make myself to another, the more deeply I risk and open up to another person (or myself - more on this later), then the greater the possibility of being accepted by that person and the more intimately connected we can be. Therefore intimacy for me has a quality of ‘closing the space’ between two people, if scape is defined as things that create emotional distance such as secrets, falsehoods, rigid boundaries, lack of emotional sharing etc. We close the space by being real, authentic with our feelings and emotions, real with our boundaries, honest about who we are, not willing to compromise or hide ourselves or falsely advertise ourselves in order to win approval from another person.
