Intimacy - a spiritual experience?

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.
