The Embodied Relationship Experience John Wineland

“ A healthy sexual polarity is when one partner relaxes their feminine and amplifies their masculine and the other partner relaxes their masculine and amplifies their feminine.” — John Wineland

“Sacred intimacy is loving each other and being physically and sexually intimate with each other from the deepest parts of you, from the infinite parts of you, from the part of you that is love eternal, from the parts of you that are infinite consciousness expanding as the cosmos. And once we start to train our bodies to love from those places, a whole new f*cking world of beauty opens up. ” — John Wineland

“As humans, there is no escaping loss. There's no amount of money that you can make. There's no amount of impact or fame you can have that is going to shield you from loss. Death is inevitable. Loss is inevitable. This is one of those really beautiful emotions that bonds us as humans, just like love does. And so, the capacity to grieve is also the capacity to be connected to humanity, to have a thread through which you can not only feel your own grief but also feel the grief of other people.” — John Wineland

“Every human being has a masculine and feminine essence. Trouble brews when people start to weap onize these terms against each other in relationships. We all have masculine and feminine aspects, and it's important to understand how to navigate these, especially in the realm of modern relationships.” — John Wineland

“Devotion to the relationship, devotion to our partner's nervous system also requires that we let them know how we tick, that we let them know where our reactivity is coming from. We let them know exactly how our nervous system is going to respond to certain stimuli, certain triggers. So just being able to identify and bring our own awareness and our own sort of ruthless honesty to the things that are going on in us is an incredibly helpful way to lay the groundwork for sacred intimacy.” — John Wineland

“The way that intimacy works is through revealing, and intimacy gets strengthened when we're able to know each other's deep desires, needs, childhood programming, know each other's deepest fears and wounds. So when we endeavor to expand and deepen our intimacy together, there are very specific practices we can do to know each other better as humans and to know each other as divine beings beneath the human. And when we practice these things pretty consistently, it creates a really beautiful, resonant hum in our love life.” — John Wineland
