True intimacy begins with selfacceptance from "summary" of Awareness by Osho
Intimacy is often misunderstood as a mere connection with others, a dance of closeness and vulnerability. Yet, the essence of genuine intimacy lies deeper within. It is not enough to seek validation and connection externally; true depth starts from within oneself. Accepting who you are, with all your flaws and virtues, lays the foundation for any meaningful relationship. When self-acceptance flourishes, it fosters an inner tranquility that radiates outward. This inner peace allows for authentic interactions. Without this acceptance, relationships can become mere reflections of insecurities or desires for approval. One may wear masks, hiding true feelings, which leads to superficial encounters rather than profound connections. The journey inward is both liberating and challenging. It requires facing parts of oneself that may evoke discomfort. Yet, embracing these aspects is transformative. When one understands and accepts their own vulnerabilities, it becomes easier to connect with others in a genuine, unguarded manner. This authenticity invites reciprocation; others, feeling safe in your acceptance, may reveal their own true selves. Intimacy is a dance of two souls meeting at a profound level. When both individuals are anchored in self-acceptance, they create a space where love can blossom freely. This shared understanding nurtures trust and openness, allowing for deeper emotional bonds.- The essence of closeness evolves from a mere physical or emotional connection to a celebration of individuality. It becomes a harmonious blend of two beings who, having embraced their own truths, come together to share their journeys without fear or judgment. The beauty of intimacy lies in this authentic union, where the heart truly opens, and love thrives.
