Intimacy

Is intimacy a physical/emotional or spiritual thing? Is it a combination of all three? I have been thinking long and hard about this term. If we equate sex with intimacy does it mean we are not intimate people if we do not have sex? I find that I can be a very intimate person without any physical contact with another person. I feel that I am intimate in how I relate to others on a soul to soul basis. I also feel that on a spiritual level I am very intimate with myself. My relationship to myself defines how intimate I am with who I am as an overall person. Intimacy can be created in many situations and in all languages. Sometimes what blocks us being intimate is we fear being vulnerable or getting hurt = but all those things are a part of life. People come and go from out lives and it is up to us how close we choose to get to those people. My challenge for you today is to evaluate your level of intimacy at home, work, with your friends and with your peers. Do you have the level of intimacy you would like to have? How can you increase your level of intimacy?
