Tap into the healing environment of intimacy

The most authentic human needs aren't materialistic. Human beings dream of finding meaning, of sensing identity and gaining insight into love. To be seen through loving eyes is to tap into a healing environment. How many people have you met who have never known what its like to feel love or compassion? Do you know?

To be truly seen as we are, that is, to be loved and appreciated with all our idiosynchrasies and imperfections, is to be healed in a setting of growing intimacy. To feel comfortable confiding in someone you care about is to make yourself vulnerable. Yet, it also opens you up to deep healing. This offers you chances to share parts of yourself that will not only transform your soul through growing faith and trust, but they can also positively enrich and heal others. Why not start fresh?

Lots of people say they seek love, but far more spend time hiding from it or dwelling on past hurts which they never permit to heal. You may know friends who dwell on stories of their emotional scars and short-lived relationships. Regardless of your past, of what you've heard from others or feared inside, deep down you realize you deserve more than superficial comfort, more than second-rate love experiences.

Real love is healing, comforting, and enables you to feel reborn. It will test you in so many ways. To sense encouragement is like an invitation to evolve into who we really are. We grow to understand a deeper sense of completeness through intimacy. This enables you to transform how you feel and what you think you know. Healing is continually expanding through you. All you have to do is catch the wave and learn.

Liara, it is so good to know that it is natural and normal to want to be seen through loving eyes.

You say "we grow to understand a deeper sense of completeness through intimacy," and this is what I have been wondering about the last while. Where is the line drawn between needing someone and being needy of someone? I am struggling with this. To be honest, I suspect my need for feeling complete through intimacy might be neediness. That seems so wrong. When I say "I don't know how to be Pippa without so-and-so in my life," then surely it is not right?

I'm truly distressed about this. I would so appreciate your insight on the matter. Perhaps you have written on this subject previously? I haven't discovered it so far.

Love & Light

Real love is healing. It is truth. There's nothing else like it.

Liara,
I agree there is nothing more healing to the soul, heart and even body than love in any of the forms it takes. Great article!

Pippa: As you learn to love and accept everything about yourself, you will grow to recognize you don't need anyone or anything to feel complete. Reaching out to people can add a new level of completeness but its part of your journey to realize you're fine as you are. How you sense self-acceptance is a good topic to explore.

Mark: I agree with you. You learn more about love and healing as you open yourself to feel its power and forgiveness beyond limits of the 5 traditional senses.

Jenny: The soul expands as you explore what love means to you. Self-love involves how you appreciate yourself. Love you express as a response to pleasure of doing, being and sensing, are like icing on the cake. The love shared by people who cherish you or feel connected to you also expands your horizons. Expand on it as much as you like. Love itself is infinite. Your potential to experience love is also limitless.

Great post Liara. Interestingly, I have been thinking on this exact point over the last couple days: That a transcendent state of unity may simply be unconditional loving of others and the environment...

Hi Brian. No such thing as coincidence[:)] Its useful to note your point(s) of reference when you feel you're "transcending." To answer the questions "from what?" and "for which reasons?" will tell you much about your evolving self-awareness.
