The need for physical intimacy arises from the fact that the access point for our body wisdom and intuitive guidance is the feelings within the body. It is to step out of mind and be fully open to what we feeling at each and every level of our being and developing the ability to discern the subtle difference in what we feel. The feelings and the ability to feel are accessible through a deep physical intimacy with the body and an awareness of what the body is sensing and perceiving. There is the need for a physical intimacy with the body to understand what I feels, how it feels, and why it feels what it does when it feels.

The problem we face in achieving the desired level of physical intimacy is that Creation is not done alone. We need another to give us the experience we desire to have for any experience we desire. There is the need for that other go give us the physical intimacy required. On this point, sexuality is the natural doorway to physical intimacy. However it is not the only away and form may the baggage around sexuality prevents the desired physical intimacy to be obtained. In this regard, there is great confusion about sexuality in its relation to physical intimacy and the fact there is a great need for physical intimacy more than sexuality. We can survive without being sexual. But we will be unable to awaken our body consciousness without it. When not understood, sexuality tends to block physical intimacy and most individuals get stuck, trapped, divert by and/or addicted to the sexuality and never discover the importance of physical intimacy.

The physical intimacy discussed here is reflective of that closeness to the body that is present when a mother breast feeding their infant and/or holding their child when it is hurt. One’s sexuality and sex organs are only a part of one’s being that gets infused with one’s creative life energy. But physical intimacy is something else and has little to do with sexuality as such other than the fact sexuality is part of the body and needs to be honor, respected and used just as any other part of the body. Although sexuality is closely related to physical intimacy and natural door way to it, sexuality usually ends up actually blocking physical intimacy in most cases.

Intimacy is the state of being intimate. Intimate it is characterized by pronounced closeness of friendship, relationship or association. It is deeply personal and private and the state of intimacy results from a close study of, or familiarity with, something or someone. Being intimate pertains to the innermost nature or being of what is studies and deals with that which is essential or intrinsic to that something. To be intimate with someone or something means we know its inner and outer workings. We know is likes and dislikes. We know its sensitivities and what gives it pleasure and pain. We know its unique aspects which normally remains hidden and veiled to the general public. Intimacy is about a level of knowing that cannot be described but only experienced and it is in the experience that one knows.

Each of us need to become physically intimate with our bodies as described in the past paragraph. It must be remembered, since all is energy consciousness, the body has a unique consciousness and as consciousness it has the need to express itself, share itself and creatively express itself. On this note it needs to be remembered, creativity is the language of consciousness. The only way the body is going to be free to be able to do this is if one is intimate with it both internally and externally. Only we can be intimate with our body internally but we will need another to be intimate with our body externally and intimacy does not necessarily mean sex although it may as appropriate to our body.

We need another externally for the body is designed to be a vehicle for the human physical experience. The human physical experience is about interacting with the physical world. So we will needs someone to interact intimately externally with our body if we are going to understand our body intimately. There is a part of our body that can only be known in an experience with another.

Consciousness desires to share itself at any and all levels of being. It is why children are so enthusiastic about sharing their discoveries of the reality they experience. Our body consciousness similarly desires to share itself and it will need another do with whom to share itself. Here again, this does not mean sex although it may. If one cannot understand why this point is continually being emphasized then one has not move past sexuality and one will need to set the intention to do so if one is ever going to understand the power of physical intimacy.

Because of the importance of physical intimacy as separate from sexuality, it is recommended the following definitions be used for sex, sexuality, sexual intimacy and physical intimacy. Sex as used here in this writing has both a physical and non physical aspect. It refers to the division of masculine and feminine, or as male and female when referring to the body itself and/or Physical Creation, as they function in the reproductive/creative process. Sex refers to the desire one has and that can only be fulfilled with the annihilation of the desire in mating with its complement as one would mate physically. As used here, the focus of sex on a purely physical level is toward coming together to mate and to have intercourse whether or not one ever gets close to completing the act. However, it is also possible to have sex each and every level of being both internally and externally and annihilate a part of one’s self at any of these other levels while engaged in sex. It only needs to be remember how Creation occur in the formation and subsequent annihilation of an observer - observed pair within a context of observation. In this regard, sex refers to the coming together of the observer - observed pair to annihilate each other to return to the Source whether or not the annihilation every occurs.

As used in this writing, sexual is the excitement or the arousal of feelings in one’s being, that is, the arousal of their masculine or feminine identity such that one wants or desires the accompaniment of the opposite. It refers to the longing for a partner in any way whether or not there is the intent of physical sex or annihilation of an existing created form. For example the longing for a beloved is a sexual longing as is the longing for a muse. Sexually intimate is to be intimate with the body in such a way as to cause arousal of the feelings of one’s sexuality. The focus may or may not be towards mating and the sexuality may arise simply because the flow of one’s creative life energy is enthusing all aspects of one’s being. Nevertheless sexual intimacy is about arousing the masculine or feminine aspects of one’s being.

Physically intimate is intimacy with the body in such a way that all one’s sensitive spots, pleasurable or not pleasurable are known or being identified. Additionally physical intimacy is about being able to feel and sense with each part of one’s body. To be physically intimate would most probably include sexuality for sexuality is a part of one’s being. But the intent of physical intimacy is not sex but rather only allowing the sexuality to function as one pursues a deeper awareness of the body and the energy that sustains it. Physical intimacy is beyond sexuality for reason that will come clear as one moves past sexuality and sex such as to explore the deep feeling beyond sex. Physical intimacy is about the awareness of the body as a energy sensing device able to sense the flow of energy within its being and what it perceives externally. It is to be noted that the only safe way to explore sexuality and physical intimacy and their relationship is in the spontaneous and innocent childlike play of discovery and exploration as to how the universe works. Otherwise we will get stuck in the sex. For most of us, we must first relearn to play and deal with the reason we lost the ability to be in that childlike play.

When one is physically intimate with the body, they will find it is a remarkable sensing device and there is an wisdom and awareness that arises within one’s being that can only be call the body wisdom. That wisdom is accessible thought the feelings of the body and the intuitive guidance. Many can use the body wisdom and get a glimpse of its power without becoming physically intimate with the body. However to use the body wisdom and intuitive guidance effectively and with it true depth and breath of perception it has available to it, one will need to become physically intimate with their body. Here again for most of us, to become physical intimate means that we will have to opening ourselves to our feeling and that means removing many of the habits and addictions we have developed in life that we use to numb or suppress our feelings.

How to become intimate with our body

Our problem is each of our bodies are unique. They are all the same in many ways but yet each is uniquely different. What one will need to do is not necessary what another will need to do. The recommendation is to set the intention to become intimate with our body and honor the intuitive guidance we get as to how to do it.

If we are lead to use sex, it is recommended one review the discussion on moving past sex and what moving past sex looks like. We need to remember we can use the advice of another, the lessons learned of others and even follow their lead But our journey is unique. We need to eat and digest all that is given to us similar to the way we eat and digest any food we eat. Our body absorbs that which nourishes us and is useful and discards the remainder. Use what is given to us by another in whatever form it is given but allow effectiveness to be our measure of truth and use it only if it helps us to create what we desire and allows us to experience a fullness of being and/or an expansion within our being such that we grow into the infinity of our being.
