Heart Salute
Building Emotional Intimacy
Marriage and relationship help to attract love. Deepen your emotional intimacy.
This is an emotional intimacy building exercise to increase the passion in your love life.
Would it not be wonderful to feel your partner is your “soulmate?”
Have you ever experienced a soul mate connection? Do you know anyone who has?
Yes, I have. And I believe soulmate connections are not one for a lifetime.
I believe soul mate connections do not just happen.
Perhaps soul mate connections (that feeling you are one with another human being) can be created.
I believe!
Do you want to try? Deepening your relationship emotional intimacy will allow the soulmate connection to appear.
Sit opposite your partner while your knees touching.
For about 10 minutes just gaze softly into each other's eyes.
Be receptive, soft and gentle.
Allow your thoughts, feelings and body sensations to be there.
Just allow time and space to hold you both.
Stay present.
Now you are ready for the heart salute:
YabYum
*In this exercise you will sit facing each other.
*One straddling the others legs so you are face to face and heart to heart. Yabyum is good here, too.
*Create a quiet space, perhaps your sacred safe space if you have time.
*Sit face to face. In this space, put your right hands on each other’s heart.
*Look deep into each other’s eyes.
*Spend a few minutes just being together.
*Coordinating your breathing will increase the intimacy of this exercise.
Format for Your Heart Salute
Now spend about five minutes, each, saying the following;
Partner one first:
-What I love about you ___________
-What I appreciate about you ___________
-What I admire about you _____________
-or any other comment you would like to add.
The partner doing the listening-just listens. The listening partner checks in with themselves-notice what you are feeling? Are you able to let these messages into your heart?
When partner one is finished, partner two responds with “thank you” or something else appropriate.
Again, no fixing, no response to statements-only acknowledgement you “heard” your partner.
Partner two now has a turn.
-What I love about you ___________
-What I appreciate about you ___________
-What I admire about you _____________
-or any other comment you would like to add.
Partner One responds with “I hear you” statement.
Take your time. Add whatever you would like. This is your appreciation admiration time. End with a hug…..and take your time.
This exercise should be done each day. Maybe before bedtime or to get you started in the morning. What a wonderful way to start the day by being appreciated and admired.
