In this episode, Hilary and I continue the journey through what intimacy means, from safe body, attunement with self, then attunement with others and now into the bedroom where most people place the idea of where intimacy exists. We talk all about those foundations we’ve built upon in the previous episodes and when they are applied in intimacy through sex, that connection reaches new depths and new heights. We talk through the 4 sex narratives that permeate our culture. Where do you land within those narratives, then get curious, ask questions about why you’re there; have you ever challenged that narrative; is it a narrative you do agree with? We chat about triggering topics y’all. AS with all the episodes, Hilary and I encourage you to approach the information in this episode with compassion and curiosity. IF you find yourself in discussion alongside us where you’re defending a position, or in high energy disagreement, ask… -Where are my limiting beliefs? -Where are my judgements, my projections? -Where are my insecurities? Basically, where is my conditioning showing up. Vs. how might this be a doorway to something that leads me into a deeper experience with intimacy than I could have ever imagined? It’s totally okay to disagree, it’s super healthy, and I encourage you to be where you are at. There is no perfect place to be. AND, there is no ‘right’ place to be. We simply want you to challenge where you are. And if you land in the same place, super good. You have consciously chosen your position. That I absolutely can get behind! Within the exploration and questioning of this subject, Hilary and I know there is abuse, it is so real, we do validate that, know its legitimacy. There is so much nuance to relationships, we would have to dissect so much from the individual story before we even approach challenging our narratives within the relationship with ‘who you want to be intimate with.’ I considered this for a while, the place I was brought back to is the start of this series…safe body and attunement. I really feel when these foundations are present, we can approach the experiences of ‘disharmony, or un met needs/expectations’ and how our personal narratives/conditionsings contribute to that within a relationship in a much more grounded and clear way. ✨ If you’re looking for support in reconnecting to your body, you can reach out to Hilary or myself, we both have different styles, but share core foundations of personal intimacy and attunement.
