Date : sometime a few weeks ago….
Date nights for me is usually having dinner or watching a
movie. Last night we did something different. We stayed home. No movie. Just
music and each other for company. Very
little conversation too. Just being with
each other, listening to music we like, stroking my hair, my face, my arms, light
kisses on my forehead, hugging me tight … heaven! Didn’t realise how much I missed the simple
intimacy of being together. I melted in my husband’s arms.
Wait there was learning in it too. Little did I realise that
all my senses were engaged at the moment …. Sense of touch [hugging and
caressing], taste [kissing] , smell [mmmm he smelled really nice], hearing [the
soothing music] and sight [mmmm… he was really cute] and last but most importantly
the conversation was making me think. The
thinking sense sets the direction for the other senses to follow!
Last night we were talking about my thoughts, how most times
we have selfish agenda and what it means to be selfless and have compassionate
love for others. Little did I know the conversation was driving my senses inward
… getting the heightened other senses interested in knowing me better.
When we went to bed and did it ..… it was different … not so
much of the sexual act but more an enchanting high that went up to my head and
lasted a long time. I later learned that the high feeling and dizziness was
because the senses was going within but since the experience was new it could
not make sense of it yet, hence the dizzy and high feeling. He hugged me and I
slept with a smile, high, happy and at peace.
Then I learned that this is called a spiritual experience of
intimacy … just at the beginning stage and much more to experience. The high
feeling I experience during intimacy was as a result of the clean-up I have
been going through over the past 2 years …. First following Natures’ Laws, then
man-made laws… that is the foundation. This will in turn fine-tune the body and
lead to management of the breath. Then the senses start looking within. Only
after all this is done well, can one attempt concentration which over time will
lead to meditation.
The tools to do this? Constant practise of SIEP! Focus and
work towards your goals!
Word of caution though, spiritual intimacy can be achieved
only when it is guided by one who knows at what stage of evolution you are in.
If not, the senses would become wild and seek more sense pleasure in the
external world.
