The Intimate Life: Awakening to the Spiritual Essence in Yourself and Others

April 12, 2012

Book review

This is a transformational guide to becoming “lovers of life” and experiencing the full potential of our intimate relationships.

by Judith Blackstone, Ph.D.

This is a book about making contact—with yourself, your partner and everything around you — at the deepest level possible. The basis for this connection is what Blackstone calls fundamental consciousness, or what we all are in our essence.

She shares 17 relational practices from her unique approach to embodied spiritual awakening, known as the Realization Process. Offered to help us relate “core to core” with compassion, understanding and joy, the book explores: how to let go of our conditioned perceptions and behaviors to foster spiritual maturation; how to embrace the paradox of oneness and separateness; the three main pathways of interpersonal connection; and spiritual exercises that apply unified consciousness to sexuality to enhance pleasure, liberate the body’s subtle energy and more.

To genuinely love other people is one of the central ideals in every spiritual tradition and is also one of our greatest challenges.

This is a transformational guide to becoming “lovers of life” and experiencing the full potential of our intimate relationships.
