The alchemy of intimacy

One of my favorite gifts from this last year is how we learned to alchemize all of our experiences and emotions into greater opening and intimacy between us.

We have walked through some extremely difficult challenges, which activated deep trauma within me and fear in both of us.

It was unexpected and excruciating but we have learned to trust that when another layer of healing and transformation wants to arise in our lives to let it.

To embrace the process no matter how messy or uncomfortable it may be.

And we bring it all to each other.

Not holding anything back.

Rage. Anger. Fear. Grief. Confusion. Sadness. Disappointment.

We have learned to witness, hold, and love each other in every expression of our humanness.

The oneness, freedom, and bliss that follow have been the most liberating experience in our union yet.

The very parts of ourselves that knew shame for X, Y or Z have been fully redeemed in this practice.
