Sacred Intimacy

Sacred Intimacy sessions consciously engage erotic energy, triggering its transformative and healing potential. In invoking Eros, we honor shame-free sexuality and pleasure as powerful modes of human expression and communion. Sacred Intimacy can be effective in dealing with wounds and blockages pertaining to sexuality and relationships.   But the practice of Sacred Intimacy may also enhance somatic literacy and emotional facility, allowing the body, heart, psyche and spirit to move towards alignment.

Sacred Intimacy sessions involve touch, talk, and breath work in which we explore an area of the Client’ s physical, emotional or spiritual life.

Body Mind Soul -Intimacy, Vulnerability and Commitment

This is an excerpt from a recent article that was published in the GLT  http://www.gaylesbiantimes.com/?issue=1116 by John R. Ballew, M.S., L.P.C. .

Sexual Behaviour in the Human Male- Alfred Kinsey
