Showing up for something new where you know you’re going to be invited into your authentic self takes courage.
Unlock Step #1: Create Sacred Space in Your Home Tonight
Twenty-five years ago I started spending a fair amount of time at a yoga retreat center. The healing I did there was profound but when I came home, it got lost in the shuffle…until I create a sacred space for myself.
At the time I was living in a tiny apartment in the city and did not have any extra rooms to light candles in or meditate in. What did I do? I set up a small table in the corner of the dining room (of all places!) and every single morning I sat down at that table, lit a candle, and meditated.
You can create a sacred space just for you (or for you and your beloved) anywhere in your home. This is now your space to breathe, meditate, do yoga, journal; connect with yourself, your partner and the Universe. Give yourself the gift of 5-10 minutes (more is better but even a few minutes is fabulous) to come back to your heart.
Unlock Step #2: Speak Your Truth
Speaking your truth is harder than it sounds, right?
Most of us grow up taught to hide the truth. Not to be so bold and honest for fear of hurting someone else’s feelings, right? Not speaking the truth after years and years erodes at our very own core; our sense of self and our confidence. Suddenly we don’t know who we are anymore.
Speak your truth – share your true opinions, your clear desires, your discerning needs, your thoughts, feelings…all of it. Start small – choose someone close to you who is also on a personal growth path. Practice, get feedback and get good at it. Then try with others.
Unlock Step #3: Assume Everyone Is Doing Their Best
How often do you hear people taking something personally? The doctor was late and it was an affront to you; the guy speeding on the highway is “out to get me” — even the weather can be a perpetrator!
My experience is that most people feel this way. They grow up wondering why the world is against them and take most things that happen personally. Making a shift to assuming everyone is doing their best and not out to get you brings you to a deep place of love, acceptance, and forgiveness.
In some ways, this is not an easy task. You will need to find a way to remind yourself but believe me the practice is well worth it! The next time you find yourself wondering why the traffic light at the corner hates you, or the impending storm has your number, take a breath, remind yourself that the Universe is good and actually has your back (whether you believe that or not) and assume everyone around you is doing their best, that none of these things are personal to you (the world doesn’t revolve around us which is the good news!)
If you truly believe this, you will create more love, joy, and abundance in your life than you ever thought possible. These three steps to unlock your path to intimacy are not easy but they are life-changing.
Being seen and known for who you truly are is one of our deepest human needs. Join me in opening your heart to the constant state of love that is possible and unlock the path to true intimacy in your life.
