Intimacy - "into me see"

the dictionary defines it as -
1: close or warm friendship; [syn: {familiarity}, {closeness}]

2: a usually secretive or illicit sexual relationship [syn: {affair}, {affaire}, {liaison}, {involvement}, {amour}]

3: a feeling of being intimate and belonging together; [syn: {closeness}]

Wikipedia: Intimacy generally refers to the feeling of being in a close personal association and belonging together. It is a familiar and very close affective connection with another as a result of entering deeply or closely into relationship through knowledge and experience of the other. Genuine intimacy in human relationships requires dialogue, transparency, vulnerability and reciprocity.

As a verb intimate means to state or make known. The activity of intimating (making known) underpins the meanings of intimate when used as a noun and adjective. As a noun, an intimate is a person with whom we have a particularly close relationship.

Exercise: The fingers are big helpers for emotional balancing. When our emotions are harmonized, there is nothing going on except clear space and the breath.

Intructions:
1. Hold each finger for at least a minute or two while calling on YCReiki. This is done to harmonize & ground you.
2. Have pen & paper available & briefly record any sensations or insights you get as you hold each finger.
3. We will share this findings in session on Saturday. : )
