Developing Sacred Intimacy

Developing Sacred Intimacy

Author: Debra Graugnard February 18, 2024 Duration: 52:56

Would you like to have deeper intimacy in your relationships? The secret to deepening intimacy is presence – being deeply present and attentive to one another.  It begins by being present in your own being and allowing your heart to open to the heart of another – without losing yourself.


To have sacred intimacy means to invoke the Divine Essence, to see through the lens of the holiness within you to witness the sacred essence of another, to be in awe of the light and to bring deep honoring of the sacred beauty. 


This is a practice you can develop with your Source, yourself, and with a partner. Listen to this episode for a healing experience.  


You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT. When you join live, you can stay on after the recorded meditation for Q&A, support and discussion. https://CommunityforConsciousLiving.com


Debra Graugnard brings a unique perspective to Self-Care For The Soul, weaving together her formal theological training with a quarter-century of immersion in Sufi teachings and her practical work as an energy healing practitioner. This isn't about quick fixes or surface-level routines; it's an invitation to explore self-care as a sacred, integrated practice. Each conversation in this podcast delves into the nuanced connection between our physical presence, emotional landscape, and spiritual essence, offering tangible tools for that exploration. You'll hear discussions that gently challenge the notion that our daily needs are separate from our deeper purpose, proposing instead that honoring one is a direct path to nurturing the other. Debra's approach is both grounded and expansive, focusing on how we can move from intellectual understanding to an embodied, intimate knowing of ourselves. The aim is to cultivate a life that doesn't just look good on the outside but resonates with authentic health and a sustained sense of joy from within. Tuning in means encountering a space where practical spirituality meets daily life, encouraging a gradual awakening to the truth that your essence is always present, waiting to be engaged with compassion and intention. This is for anyone feeling the pull to move beyond conventional self-help into a more holistic and soulful dialogue with their own existence.
