Before we dive in, I would like to ask you a question:

What comes to mind when you think of the colour black and the word intimacy?

I asked this to a few people and some of their answers were - black leather, latex, bondage, and having sex in the dark, just to name a few. It became noticeably clear that intimacy means different things to different people and when you add an exciting colour like black to the mix, it really adds spice to the word. Just to be clear intimacy is not sex – it is possible to have sex without intimacy as well as intimacy without sex.

Your sexuality is directly connected to your creativity. The easier it is to express yourself sexually, the easier it is to share your creative gifts with the world and vice versa. Your sacral chakra controls both aspects. It is of great importance for creatives, such as yourself, to keep this energy centre open and balanced. If there are any types of blocks here, both your sexuality and creativity will be affected. You may also experience issues with intimacy and connection to others as a result.

In this column, we will be focusing on the intimacy you have with YOURSELF. The initial step to deep intimacy with another person is to first know and like yourself. By coming to know and value yourself, you identify your innermost feelings and needs and develop the security to share them with others. You also create space to dive deeply into the void within you. Into your core. The centre of your being that you may never have experienced, nor know the depths that reside there.

“When you can bravely step into the dark and experience it, you will begin to see the light “

For this black issue, I invite you to begin your journey into your inner reality. I invite you to ask yourself a question: What are your biggest fears around intimacy (with yourself or with others)? Many people struggle with intimacy because their fears of being hurt are so strong. When you begin to look within yourself you may find hidden abandonment issues, fears of being rejected, control issues or even past trauma or abuse.

Whatever is there, it needs to be expressed and released so that you can go even deeper within. Your creative centre, the place where your “Genius” resides, can only be reached as each layer is revealed and peeled away gently. I invite you to step into the black, into the darkness within, into all that is hidden there. I invite you to begin your exploration. When you can bravely step into the dark and experience it, you will begin to see the light that is there also.

Only when you can be intimate with every part of yourself, the light and the dark, can you then be intimate with another. When you can love yourself for exactly who you are in this moment, you allow for your inner truth to be revealed. You allow for your creative gifts to expand and reach new heights you may have never even dreamed of. You can then share yourself and your gifts with the world and fulfill your life’s purpose! This is our mission together here in this column. I look forward to accompanying you on this journey as we explore the Colours of Intimacy.
