Intimacy & Sex

In the Wellness Energy System, intimacy is one of the deepest forms of connection. Often it is closely related to sex as an expression of the vital life force, the elan vital, or, in Eastern philosophy, ki, or chi. It is the energy of our aliveness. Sex is also about the preservation of life - a type of communication in which the entire organism attempts to unify itself with another. It depends dynamically upon the input sources that we get from breathing, sensation, and food/fuel for its complete expression, and it is strongly modified by our energy outputs of thoughts, feelings, and messages. Sex may also serve to open us to new levels of meaning in life as well as provide experiences of transcendence.
