What strategy could you offer for cultivating more authentic interaction between people in intimate relationships?
Why is this important? What behaviors could you suggest that would help cultivate this? How does it feel to be able to communicate more authentically with those you love?
Just a quick brainstorm, open to refinement of presentation...
Suggestions:
A practice of showing up in the relationship fully present, and without expectations.
A willingness to meet as if for the first time, every time.
For each individual to fully embody the essence of how they are in the moment, and to respond from there, rather than from a set of preconditioned behaviours.
A willingness to explore openly and in trust areas that may be unusual or even 'taboo'.
The commitment to remain present and focussed for each other no matter what material comes up, and to support each others process of integrating this material in a detached and loving manner.
Enough 'space' or alone time to process the material arising from the interactions in an authentic way as individuals.
The support of a nurturing community including professionals ie. massuer, psychotherapist, counsellor, spiritual teacher etc.
