Life is Intimacy, Awareness A Start
The nature of intimacy is an interaction pattern, as your messages and your partner’s responses make a conversation an intimate interaction.
However, maintaining closeness with another person on a personal or business level over a long period of time is difficult.
It takes constant work like cultivating, maintaining, and caring for a garden. It requires continuing to prioritize one another despite all the business, distractions, and pain of everyday life. One good way to start is to recognize that there are many different types of intimacy:
- Emotional Intimacy: being tuned to each other’s wavelength
- Intellectual Intimacy: Closeness in the world of ideas
- Aesthetic Intimacy: Sharing experience of beauty
- Creative Intimacy: Sharing in acts of creating together
- Fourlegged Friends Intimacy – Our love and connection to all animals
- Recreational Intimacy: Relating in experiences of fun and play
- Work Intimacy: Closeness of sharing common tasks
- Crisis Intimacy: Closeness in coping with problems and pain
- Conflict Intimacy: Facing and struggling with differences
- Commitment Intimacy: Mutually derived from common self-interest
- Spiritual Intimacy: Unity shared in religious expression
- Communication Intimacy: Mutual understanding and affirmation
- Culinary Intimacy: Sharing food experiences
- Environmental Intimacy: Connection with land and the earth

Building intimacy involves being open and talking through your thoughts and emotions, letting your guard down (being vulnerable), and showing someone else how you feel and what your hopes and dreams are. Intimacy is built up over time, and it requires patience and effort. It is applicable to our business and personal life.
I am an eager student on this subject and please stay tuned, there is much more to come and learn.
