For the last two decades, I’ve been exploring these these three qualities of being in continually gradual degrees. I’ve had beautiful teachers and models who have taught me how to access deepening each of these expressions of my life. Sometimes I was taught through conscious guidance and sometimes through rough and rugged emotional terrain. And I have also played both polar roles as well.

Relationships is where the intimacy and communication happen. However, the true essence of relationship is not always truly present, without intimacy and communication.

For instance, in my younger years I may have had friends or even boyfriends, that I would say I was in relationships with. The with with a key factor. When viewing the past from this present awareness, I would use the word at to be more descriptive. At for me, would be not being present, not really hearing ie listening or recieving deeply what another was saying, feeling, meaning, needing. It was more about waiting to speak at, tp be heard, to get my needs met. This wasn’nt present, reciprical, true interest, care, desire to know, see, listen, and feel another. However, it was the best I could do, from not knowing there was a different way. I’d venture to say, many of us have or still do operate from this out-dates paradigm.

We go through so many developmental stages in our lives. Each level of operation are normal for those stages and phases. And then it’s time for the next level maturity to develop. But what happens when we live in a culture that hasn’t actually developed as a whole, to that next level of consciously relating?

I mention often that we have been guided to function as a society by an intellectual intelligence quotient. But what we are now recognizing is there are different kinds of intelligence.

The invitation of Conscious Relationship, Initmacy, and Communication was twenty or thirty years ago, for the ‘self-help’ population. This new consciousness is now rising as a next level we’re all being invited to explore and take strides in becoming a new norm.

It includes elevating our Emotional IQ, Spiritual IQ, and I’ll add here, a Relationtional IQ. These intelligence quotients are in the realm of the Feminine aspect of our human expression. They come with sesitivity to true connection with one another, with Life. It’s learning to be present from within the full body wisdom, not just the intellect or the thining mind.

This new paradigm enables Sacred Wellbeing and Whole Life Wellness.

We’re at this new threshold that will deepen a sense of community no matter where we go, whether it be our work place, family, romantic partners, our pets; with nature, even with innanimate objects … because it is our ability to be present and attentive to the care of all that is in our path.

Once we begin to practice the cultivation of Relationship, Intimacy, and Communication, we’ll begin to sense, that the foundation of the health & vitality of these qualities in our lives, will begin first, within.

Relationship With our own inner landscape. Self- Honesty. Self- Acceptance. Self- Love. Knowing Oneself, in the shadow and light. Embracing ourselves in the presence of our own strength and radiance, as well as our soft unerbelly and vulnerable. And honoring the sacredness of both.

From this sacred embrace, we heal, attune, grow and celebrate, the deeper truths of who we are here to be.

For me, this next phase of conscious relationship is in opening to the presence of the Sacred in all things. This is a path of the Sacred Feminine, Relational Intimacy, where Peace is always present.
