MYSTICS

Some of us in our daily interactions, often repeat the same stories, regurgitate the same clichés, and meet each other with the same common greetings. We tend to relate in habituated ways, unknowingly guarding ourselves, reinforcing limited identities and preventing deeper intimacy.

During normal ordinary conversations some of us tend to be more aware of the mental world within ourselves and others, which makes us less aware of our body, emotions or the felt sense of connection with others while speaking. All of this is fine and common; it is just that there is so much more possible. The best conversations with the most epic rapport happens when a genuine curiosity is allowed to a rise out of immediacy of the moment or when someone courageously shares something fresh, unprepared, or previously unknown. While we commonly greet friends and loved one with staleness of a thousand times before, but it is through meeting of each other fresh each moment, attuning to the novel aliveness of our own inner worlds with their landscapes full of sensations, emotions, thoughts, needs, desires and energies.

In Deep Relating we are practicing staying deeply embodied, centered and grounded while also open-hearted, attuned and connected to others. Not only do these more embodied ways of relating create a much richer sense of aliveness connection, they also are essential for maintaining presence during intensity, reducing conflict, enlivening attraction, creating closeness as well as being doorways to unlocking extrasensory perceptions.
