The intimacy that arises in listening and speaking truth is only possible if we can open to the vulnerability of our own hearts. Breathing in, contacting the life that is right here, is our first step. Once we have held ourselves with kindness, we can touch others in a vital and healing way.
We want to be in open, loving communion with each other and our greatest fear is intimacy. That it won't work and we'll be rejected.
The main thing going on around intimacy is that we've developed a lot of strategies so we'll be a desirable package.
Even going through the motions is a way of establishing a new relationship with our inner life that is caring and tender, versus one that is judging, distancing or ignoring. This is the beginning of being capable of intimacy with others.
