A few weeks ago, I posted something on Instagram that landed
Speaker:really well for many of you.
Speaker:And it says the following.
Speaker:Healing in your intimate life means when safety, consistency and genuine
Speaker:love become more attractive than the pull of strong and unsafe chemistry.
Speaker:And I've decided to make an entire podcast episode about healing your intimate life.
Speaker:Today.
Speaker:I'm gonna talk about the two key things you need in order
Speaker:to heal in your intimate life.
Speaker:My name is Lorin Krenn and I am the host of this podcast.
Speaker:My mission is to help people experience deep intimacy for the power of
Speaker:masculine and feminine polarity.
Speaker:Let's drop in.
Speaker:There are so many factors that come into play when it comes
Speaker:to healing in our intimate.
Speaker:I cannot cover all of them in a podcast episode, unless I record this episode
Speaker:throughout several days nonstop , but today I'm going to focus on the two
Speaker:key things that you need to understand, to integrate, to practice with in
Speaker:order to heal in your intimate life, in order to experience deep intimacy.
Speaker:Intimacy that truly resembles your heart's deepest yearning.
Speaker:Number one is creating clarity in your heart.
Speaker:And I'm gonna explain at a really practical level what this means.
Speaker:I teach about this in all my groups, the importance of gaining, or rather better
Speaker:to say creating clarity inside your heart.
Speaker:This is key in order to experience the intimate life you yearn for, to
Speaker:attract a conscious partner and not a partner based on your eroticized wounds.
Speaker:An eroticized wound is when we bypass the safety of our heart for sexual
Speaker:pleasure or any other form of pleasure.
Speaker:So we start to put pleasure on a pedestal and safety and being met in our heart's
Speaker:truth suddenly become irrelevant or become less important, even though it is the most
Speaker:important thing in order to experience the intimacy your heart truly yearns for.
Speaker:I call it deep intimacy.
Speaker:Now, back to the definition, this is my personal definition.
Speaker:Um, and I came up with this definition when I was asked in a past workshop
Speaker:about, can you define what an eroticized wound is in one sentence?
Speaker:So let me repeat that one more time.
Speaker:You can write, so you can write this down and integrate this because
Speaker:this is fucking life changing.
Speaker:Fucking fucking it's so great that I can swear in this episode on other
Speaker:social media channels, you can't swear.
Speaker:Um, but here I can swear, and I just need to exercise the swearing muscle.
Speaker:So an eroticized wound is when we bypass the safety of our heart for sexual
Speaker:pleasure or any other form of pleasure.
Speaker:We start to put pleasure on a pedestal and safety or being met in our heart's
Speaker:truth become irrelevant or less important.
Speaker:Now, most of us, when it comes to creating clarity in our heart, to make this
Speaker:really practical, most of us don't know.
Speaker:What we actually want in a relationship.
Speaker:We don't know what is uniquely important to us.
Speaker:We might read stuff.
Speaker:We might look at posts that say green flags, red flags and read articles.
Speaker:And, and, and.
Speaker:But still we haven't really connected to what is uniquely important to us because
Speaker:every person has something that is very uniquely important to them, has very
Speaker:unique needs and especially how these needs are expressed, are fulfilled.
Speaker:And that is a whole other topic.
Speaker:When we're talking about needs that come from your shadow or needs that are truly
Speaker:born from your heart that are truthful.
Speaker:That is a whole other episode.
Speaker:But let me know on Instagram or on TikTok or, or where any other, wherever
Speaker:you find me about whether you would like me to record a podcast episode
Speaker:about what's the difference between healthy needs and needs from our shadow.
Speaker:Most of us don't know what we want in a relationship.
Speaker:We don't know what is uniquely important to us.
Speaker:And we don't have a relationship vision.
Speaker:I teach about the relationship, vision embodiment practices, for
Speaker:instance, in my Polarity program.
Speaker:Now, if you don't know what it is that you want to create, if you don't
Speaker:have a relationship vision, similar to having a life vision, what it is
Speaker:that you want to create, how you want to be uniquely in service for the
Speaker:medicine and the gifts of your soul.
Speaker:Similar to that, right.
Speaker:But if you don't know what it is that you want to create, because you are a creator,
Speaker:then external factors will decide for you.
Speaker:Your conditioning, your limiting beliefs will decide for you.
Speaker:So basically you are leaving the fate of your relationship or intimate life
Speaker:up to fucking external factors, your conditioning, any external influences.
Speaker:And most of the time, these external influences are not in contribution to
Speaker:our heart safety, our heart's truth.
Speaker:I'm fucking passionate right now because I'm just passionate about this.
Speaker:What can I do?
Speaker:It just flows from me this ancient fire.
Speaker:But, um, again, you are a creator and you're always creating whatever
Speaker:you think you're doing, right?
Speaker:You cannot, you cannot relieve yourself of.
Speaker:Well, some seed is a burden, but in actually it is your power.
Speaker:You're always creating, you can't stop creating.
Speaker:You're always creating in each moment.
Speaker:And you have to use that to your advantage.
Speaker:Otherwise, it's going to be used to your disadvantage because outside things, you
Speaker:are limiting beliefs, everything that does not resemble your heart's deepest yearning
Speaker:will decide the fate of your relationship or the fate of your intimate life.
Speaker:What is the solution to this?
Speaker:You need to be intimately connected to the deepest desire of your heart.
Speaker:If you are not intimately connected with it, then your heart will
Speaker:not be clear in relationships.
Speaker:And if you are not showing up with a clear heart in relationships,
Speaker:then it's going to be a mess.
Speaker:It's going to be a freaking mess.
Speaker:Let's make this more practical.
Speaker:so I personally choose to be in a highly committed, devoted
Speaker:and monogamous relationship.
Speaker:And I knew that before I met my woman, my fiance Liliana, and we both
Speaker:expressed our heart's desire from the beginning of our relationship.
Speaker:You can almost see this as the foundation, the building block
Speaker:of our or the relationship, because now we have a vision.
Speaker:We have something to build upon, to create, to envision.
Speaker:But now imagine you get together with someone and that is not clear.
Speaker:You or them, or both of are not connected intimately to the
Speaker:deepest desire and truthful desire.
Speaker:We're gonna talk about the sexual shadow and eroticized wounds in just
Speaker:a bit, but the truthful desire in your heart guess what's going to happen?
Speaker:A mess is going to be happen.
Speaker:It's like building a house on sand.
Speaker:Your foundation is going to waiver, because without a foundation without a
Speaker:clarity around your heart's desire and shared relationship vision, right, does
Speaker:that relationship, vision intertwine with what they truly want to create?
Speaker:And this doesn't have to be the exact words, the exact language, but at the
Speaker:core, it has to be something similar otherwise, you have no foundation.
Speaker:You also then stand no chance against the storms of life, the complexity
Speaker:and intensity of being in deep union, in facing our shadow, our wounds that
Speaker:naturally will come up all the time and stand in the way of deepening
Speaker:the love, deepening the trust, deepening the intimacy and polarity.
Speaker:This is our conscious work day in and day out.
Speaker:When we are in a relationship, it is to do everything necessary to overcome
Speaker:work through integrate process that these things don't stand in the way of
Speaker:deepening that love, deepening the trust, deepening the intimacy and polarity.
Speaker:Otherwise we become stagnant.
Speaker:And when we become stagnant, we are no longer fulfilling our evolutionary
Speaker:purpose, which is to evolve.
Speaker:So only when a relationship is evolving, when you're both evolving in
Speaker:consciousness is the byproduct of that is.
Speaker:Intimacy is strong polarity, is strong, passion and love, but if you're stagnant,
Speaker:that will waver, and this is why so many relationships do no longer experience
Speaker:passionate sex, do no longer experience any fucking passion on any level.
Speaker:And having clarity in your heart is not just about being connected
Speaker:to your heart's deepest yearning.
Speaker:It also has to do with whether your heart is still entangled
Speaker:with the energy of past lovers.
Speaker:Some of you might have already heard that I have a somewhat controversial
Speaker:stance around keeping energetic ties with ex-partners or ex lovers.
Speaker:And what I mean by not keeping energetic ties with ex-partners is not ghost them.
Speaker:Just cut them radically out of your life and ignore and block them.
Speaker:This is not what I'm talking about.
Speaker:It's just that many people use kind of new age conscious and coupling and all of.
Speaker:Beautiful teachings, which have so much truth and power in them, more about it
Speaker:in a second, but use these things in order to justify still being entangled.
Speaker:For instance, with a past lover, they know inside their heart is not safe
Speaker:for them, and you can put a label around it and call it conscious and
Speaker:coupling, and now we need to need to meet again and talk through it and we
Speaker:need to have some fucking makeup sex.
Speaker:No, you don't.
Speaker:When you know, deep in your heart that someone is not right, it is beautiful to
Speaker:give them with the opportunity to talk things out, but by staying too entangled
Speaker:with them, by allowing them too much space in your life, there's a high chance
Speaker:that the actual intention of conscious uncoupling, which means to let go of
Speaker:that, to cherish that, to bless them on their path actually gets dismissed, gets
Speaker:lost, and our attachment, our story of how it used to be starts to take over.
Speaker:It's actually very rare that two individuals have reached a level of
Speaker:consciousness where they can let each other go full form of unconscious
Speaker:uncoupling that is in harmony, right?
Speaker:Very often one might want that, but if the other doesn't then the other might
Speaker:use it as a way to try to convince you to start the relationship again.
Speaker:And this is not just about conscious uncoupling.
Speaker:Conscious uncoupling is beautiful.
Speaker:It's just about both have to have the right intention and have to have
Speaker:reached a certain level of healing and level of consciousness where
Speaker:they can relate to others in a secure way, and they no longer have any form
Speaker:of attachment towards other people.
Speaker:Now, conscious uncoupling or staying in touch with ex-partners is often used as an
Speaker:excuse to not have to face loneliness, to create a new life, to let go of the past.
Speaker:And now you, or they start to bring this baggage, this emotional baggage, this
Speaker:unclarity in your heart, your heart space is not clear, is still occupied with all
Speaker:kinds of energies into new relationships.
Speaker:And a conscious partner or the ideal partner that most likely you
Speaker:want to attract, they have done a fair share amount of inner work
Speaker:and deep healing and have reached a certain level of consciousness.
Speaker:And they will be repelled by an energy or by your heart that is entangled and
Speaker:your heart space being occupied with all kinds of things from past lovers.
Speaker:And now listen.
Speaker:I'm not saying you can't still text with an ex lover or a past lover.
Speaker:I'm not saying you can't be friends.
Speaker:And especially there are some really important scenarios, where there needs
Speaker:to be a certain contact for instance, when it comes to shared parenting, but
Speaker:that is a whole other topic, and this is not what I'm talking about today.
Speaker:But the ideal conscious partner has done a fair amount of work on themselves, and
Speaker:they will be repelled by this energy, or you will be repelled by someone's
Speaker:energy, if you have come to a certain level of healing, if their heart is
Speaker:occupied with all kind of bullshits from past and this and texting and still and
Speaker:still, and all of that stuff, right?
Speaker:That is not attractive.
Speaker:And especially that is not safe, that is not safe for your heart.
Speaker:And that is the main theme of course, of this.
Speaker:It is, as I mentioned at the beginning of this episode, when safety, consistency and
Speaker:genuine love become more attractive than the pull of strong and unsafe chemistry.
Speaker:And this is exactly what this is about.
Speaker:One of the most profound gifts you can offer to your current or future
Speaker:partner is the clarity of your heart.
Speaker:Your heart is with them.
Speaker:It is not entangled in past lovers, texting with anything like that.
Speaker:These things are in the past for a reason.
Speaker:They are no longer your present reality and this your intimate life now, your
Speaker:relationship now is your present reality.
Speaker:And now the second key in order to heal in your intimate life, that is
Speaker:so crucial is to learn to be able to discern between your eroticized
Speaker:wounds and your heart's true yearning.
Speaker:And you might have already noticed that there seems to be two
Speaker:conflicting desires within you.
Speaker:One, I call the desires of the sexual shadow.
Speaker:Strong sexual arousal with people who are not safe for your heart,
Speaker:wanting to escape from your pain by experiencing pleasure, sexual pleasure.
Speaker:The pleasure that comes with physical touch or intimacy in some shape or form.
Speaker:And the other desire is to want to have a safe and deep union.
Speaker:One is the desire of your heart.
Speaker:The other are your eroticized wounds.
Speaker:What creates our ized wounds, I describe this as the sexual shadow and as long
Speaker:as we feed our sexual shadow are overly identified with these desires, we will
Speaker:always end up feeling lost, sad, empty.
Speaker:Think about it this way, you make love with someone and
Speaker:afterwards you feel worse.
Speaker:You feel empty, you feel energetically, depleted your heart feels clouded, right?
Speaker:Making love is supposed to be a sacred act, and afterwards you are supposed to
Speaker:feel empowered, to experience more joy, more love, more depth, more freedom in
Speaker:your heart, more clarity in your heart.
Speaker:The only exception here would be sometimes after even a very sacred
Speaker:experience in the bedroom, you might feel more heavy, not because that person
Speaker:is not safe, but because certain deep wounds or limiting beliefs came up.
Speaker:That is another topic for another episode.
Speaker:But that will be an exception right?
Speaker:But as always it's nothing is black and white, and there are
Speaker:so many subtle nuances to this.
Speaker:But I won't go in depth into the sexual shadow here as I teach
Speaker:about this in depth in my programs.
Speaker:But a really powerful practice is I wanna give you here to work with
Speaker:your sexual shadow to work with your ized wounds is the next time you
Speaker:feel this strong arousal, this desire to escape, to numb your pain with
Speaker:fleeting pleasure, you can put both hands on your heart and say out loud,
Speaker:this desire is coming from my wounds.
Speaker:I'm coming from pain.
Speaker:This desire is coming from my wounds.
Speaker:I'm coming from pain.
Speaker:By saying this, especially out loud while you and take a deep
Speaker:breath after and before, you create a form of distance between.
Speaker:And the designs of your sexual shadow, there is a gap that is being created.
Speaker:A moment of awareness.
Speaker:Consciousness can enter and you can reconnect with the true yearning inside
Speaker:your heart, your relationship, vision.
Speaker:And I will end this episode with the following.
Speaker:If you want to make your hearts deepest yearning a living reality,
Speaker:then your life needs to be an offering.
Speaker:Everything you do, even your mere beingness, to actively
Speaker:turning your heart's deepest yearning into a living reality.
Speaker:No bullshit, no texting and allowing ex-partners' energies
Speaker:back into your heart, even though, you know they're not safe, no
Speaker:strengthening of your sexual shadow.
Speaker:And what happens then is you create clarity in your heart and thereby you
Speaker:become free in your intimate life.
Speaker:Your boundaries are naturally there.
Speaker:You can see whether someone is good for your heart's truth and safety or not.
Speaker:And everything becomes clearer.
Speaker:Everything becomes less suffering, less pain and less confusion, and
Speaker:more joy, more depth and more love.
Speaker:Thank you.
Speaker:Thank you.
Speaker:Thank you for listening for being here.
Speaker:I invite you to share this episode if it has touched your heart, if
Speaker:it has spoken to you with someone who needs to hear this, thank you.
