Podcasts about real intimacy

I pulled out a fan-favorite episode to share today! If you haven't heard it, you don't want to miss this story. It'll encourage you. -- Mick is a dynamic, charismatic, but also a tell-it-straight kinda guy. When his marriage was shallow in terms of connection, emotionally and intimately, he jumped at an opportunity that he discerned understood him as a man and also had a proven track record for change.  After taking responsibility, the MAIN change was his heart. He shares some particulars on why that was so vital in the outward changes of his marriage. But, he began to realize who God actually is calling him to be as a husband. Mick's transformation is truly awesome. But he really took responsibility. He wasn't interested in waiting to see what happens in his marriage without intentionality. He was ready to do the work and take 100% ownership for his marriage transformation and had full accountability for himself. His heart…his change…his commitment to Christ, and then…living it out in his marriage.   I encourage you to listen to Mick's story and witness God's transformation in him. From the outside they looked great, but it wasn't until God changed his heart that their connection went to a whole new level. Maybe you need this. Maybe a friend does…and you get to be the one to share it with them (like a friend shared it with his wife, and thus God did this in his marriage and for his kids).   Love & Blessings, Belah   PS -- We'd love to see if we can serve you in a Clarity Call where you dig into your specific journey and we help you clarify the challenges, where you're going, and WHY. Go to delightyourmarriage.com/cc   Quote from another recent graduate (2024):  Before: "We were two roommates who both felt a lot of hurt and rejection.  We lived together, but never talked about the elephant in the room." After DYM men's program:  "I am so thankful to be in a loving and happy marriage that I could not have imagined only 12 weeks earlier.  I am excited every day to go home to my wife, something that I felt anxious about three months ago."    Maybe you're next?

Many men spend a whole lifetime having sex that is superficial or one dimensional, missing out on emotional and energetic levels of pleasure, and the exponential experience of feeling your partner's pleasure in your body, in addition to your own. Today's Man Alive guest talks about how to get beyond this, to go where most men don't know they can go in intimacy and sexuality.

We all believe it is ideal not to fight, this is complete fantasy. The only way to have real intimacy is to be authentic about our differences instead of swallowing our secret truths. We all want to avoid the messiness of conflict and being uncomfortable which is short term thinking. We all make excuses easily "I didn't want to hurt you" which is really about avoiding hard conversations which leads to a mountain of resentments long term.

Identifying and expressing your desires is one of the most important aspects of real intimacy. However, I frequently see couples struggle with this–both with knowing what they want and also being able to say it to one another. Some people have no idea where to begin in order to figure out what they desire. Others know exactly what they want but don't know how to say it clearly, or they find it prohibitively uncomfortable to do so. And then some people don't know what they want nor how to say it. It can be helpful when your spouse asks you, “what do you want?” But that question has at least two different meanings, with two very different contexts. It's important to be able to distinguish between them. In one context the question is genuinely about you and your desires, and in the other it's about the question asker's needs in that moment. In this episode you'll learn: Two different contexts and meanings that become relevant when you're asked what you want and how to respond to each one  Tactics to help you discover what you really want Why it's important to give yourself time to identify what you want, and then share it …plus much more.   Since it's the beginning of a new year, I know you may be setting goals and intentions–doing so requires you to tap into your desires and navigate any blocks you have.

"Is it wrong to feel attracted to others? What matters is how you act in response to the attraction — not the inevitable attraction itself. “I get emails all the time from people in relationships who get blindsided by finding someone else attractive,” says Mark Manson, self-help author and personal development consultant. “They feel horrible because of it.” But it's irrational to beat yourself up over involuntary thoughts and feelings. Entering a relationship doesn't switch off your normal biological functioning. As advice columnist Mariella Forstrup puts it: “being in a long-term relationship doesn't lobotomize the part of your brain that deals with attraction.” Your brain makes automatic judgments about attractiveness “When we look at another person, our brain very quickly processes the visual information our eyes see, and we nearly instantaneously make a judgment concerning the other person's attractiveness,” writes Gary Lewandowski, psychology professor and author of The Science of Relationships. “We can't really help making these judgments; it's automatic.” Hence, even while in a relationship, you still recognize other people's appealing features and characteristics (just as you did before you got with your partner). In fact, “anything can make us suddenly notice someone,” says Ammanda Major, a senior consultant on sex therapy at Relate. A draw could be as subtle as a co-worker saying something that makes you laugh. You can't control your thoughts and feelings — only your actions When it comes to doing right by your partner, what matters is how you act in response to the attraction — not the inevitable attraction itself. As Manson reminds us: We can't control our thoughts and feelings, but we can control our actions.When we choose not to act on them, thoughts and feelings pass through us like waves and leave us with our partner very much the same way they found us. Is there something wrong with your relationship? Don't assume your attraction to others indicates your partner is any less ‘right' for you. Just because there's no off-switch for attraction to other people, that doesn't mean there's something wrong with you or your relationship. Evolutionary scientists have developed some interesting theories about why we might feel drawn to others — even if we're happily taken ourselves. Although we can't change the biological basis of attraction, understanding it can help us respond more consciously to the impulses it creates. After all, as psychiatrist Dr. Kenneth Rosenberg writes: “You can't fix what you don't understand!” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

Hello, hello, hello…I wanted to start this newsletter off with a honest conversation. And a walk down memory Lane.I started my First session with Nine players. It fell apart quickly. I know now it wasn't because it is impossible to run a game for that many people. But because I bit off more than I could chew at the time.Real Intimacy makes Real ArtThis newsletter is an effort to keep things small. It is an effort to cultivate the same intimacy I experience when I create. I don't strive to position myself as an expert or guru on the subject. But to let you into my process. I think it's important we examine our processes because its there we find the art. I atleast that's what I like to believe. I hope my own honest explorations and realizations will offer you some method to tackle your own creative explorations.

Our intimate relationships often need repairing when we are in recovery. For some of us, we may have never been taught how to be in healthy romantic relationships. Whatever the case, when we practice truly connecting with another human being instead of resorting to our isolating behaviors, we allow space for healing and for true intimacy.

In this episode, Mark and Steve address an issue submitted by a PBSE listener— Hi Guys! My husband loves your podcast. It's the only he will listen to openly. I loved your topic today "Healthy Sex vs. Toxic Sex in Marriage." You talked about lust and I found that topic to be very relatable. Is it possible to discuss how lusting can cause issues in a marriage? From the partner's perspective, it's broken down my trust in him and his motivations. I recoil from his touch because I don't know if I am triggering the "beast". His hyper-sexual needs have led me to be disgusted by his touch and causes me to want to avoid both it and him.If your marriage relationship is filled with too much "lust-based-sex," aka, "The Beast"—learn HOW to move into the beautiful and amazing realm of REAL INTIMACY!

Talking about living like Jesus and obeying his teachings can bring up tension. Should our faith be based on what we do or upon intimacy with Jesus? Is it religion or relationship? Is that even the right question to ask? As the title of our podcast suggests, Steve & Vicki Orsillo take an uncommon view of intimacy with Jesus. They discuss what an intimate relationship with Jesus looks like and how we're supposed to walk that out in our daily lives.  Watch our daily livestream broadcasts, Live From The House: www.changeoroville.org - www.facebook.com/fathers.house.oroville - TFHC Media on YouTube.

Sermon - Real Intimacy, Passage - Proverbs 5, Series - The Family

Sermon - Real Intimacy, Passage - Proverbs 5, Series - The Family

What is real intimacy? When most people hear the word intimacy, their mind immediately goes to physical touch, sex and more. But is that definition accurate in the world of love, relationships and intimacy? Dr. Terri talks to David Essel, counselor, master life coach, international speaker, minister and author of 10 books, including the best-selling book called "Love and Relationship Secrets....That Everyone Needs to Know." For the past 30 years, David has been helping singles and couples from around the world to grasp what real intimacy means. David says that once you understand the meaning of real intimacy, you will have the most profound love relationships and friendships. On today's episode: :30 - David's background and the law of attraction 6:10 - Getting out of an unhealthy relationship 9:50 - Recognizing your relationship patterns and avoiding the same mistakes 17:00 - Dealing with deal breakers 19:55 - Real intimacy and the importance of honesty

Can using sex toys, or what I like to call relationship enhancers, actually spark real conversations and intimacy in a relationship.  I happen to think so.  Once you are talking more openly about using toys in the boudoir, it then leads to talking more openly and honestly about everything else.  It leads to more intimacy on all levels of the relationship.

Have you ever felt like you were just going through the motion with God. Have you ever wanted more...more intimacy. When you give God what He wants you get more of what you want. God said He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him but He never told you what the reward is, seek Him and find out.

How Greg got into this line of work and why he became interested in the profound effects that pornography has on men. The freedom that opens up for men once they start talking about this. Staggering pornography statistics. "It's hard to find a man that doesn't watch porn." Maddy's first experience watching porn. “I take no moral, ethical or religious perspective with porn. I don’t think it’s good or bad.” Porn is made for men by men in general. “I don’t think anyone needs to stop watching porn unless they believe it’s causing problems in their lives.” What it means when Greg says, "The porn is choosing them and they’re sexualizing their pain.” The upsides to porn — how it builds confidence, reduces shame and education, exciting, make you feel, soothing, sexy, fun. The dark side to porn and how it affects our unresolved emotional issues. Why you choose the type of porn that you do? “People gravitate to porn when they’re trying to work through unemotional material from the past.” A question Greg only asks during his therapy sessions: "If we could remove the sexual arousal from this experience, what experiences would you be experiencing?" "They’re porn watching to feel adequate." “Healing is the application of love to the places inside that hurt.” Why do they sexualize this pain instead of using drugs/alcohol for example? The false assumptions around pornography. Most of the time, the partner of a porn addict that doesn’t know that they’re with a porn addict.

John 13-15 Sermon Title: Real Intimacy Series: Final Week: The Last Seven Days Speaker: Pastor David Menard The Mission Church Encinitas The post John 13-15 – Real Intimacy appeared first on The Mission Church.

Really the entire manifest universe is a movement of Pure Being flowing through Pure Sexuality. So when your Being moves through your sexuality, that is the highest frequency of the Real Life. Then when you as a Being share your sexuality, in other words your life, with another ..it is Pure Sexuality when it is coming from your heart. See humans are mainly mistaken about sexuality . They believe that it has something to do only with the sexual organs. It doesn't. In any form of communication you will need sexuality. The way in which Being reaches through the energetics towards another. So even to smell a flower you will need a heightened sense of sexuality. When you are really enjoying let's say the scent of a rose, that is your heightened sense of sexuality and it is your Being that is smelling the flower though your sexuality. It is a communion . All that is really here is communion. ..and to commune while you are in existence you will need all the energy of your sexuality, which actually comes from the heart. It doesn't come from lower than that. So when we know another we are using the flow of Being moving our sexuality . It is Real Intimacy. Oneness is a flow of True Sexuality. Oneness is clearly a level of intimacy that includes ALL of YOU. Every aspect of you in communion, so if we merged in Oneness that would include our sexuality. We would be whole- bodily merged in the heart as One. That is when every cell in the body comes alive as One Love, but that is far too intimate for most humans at this present time, because humanity at the moment practice separation. We make ourselves separate bodies with separate sensed experience. The Oneness some people are looking for they won't find because their sexuality is not opened up. You really have to be clear about this : Sexuality is your entire body opened to your heart . That is why in realisation you can have whole body experience with the Divine. I have heard of nuns believing that Jesus made Love to them because to be in deep communion with Christ or Pure Consciousness the whole body has to open up and in that moment the body is divined in the grace of Love. So the whole sexuality has to open up - not confined to a belief that sexuality is a genital area experience. It is literally how you become one with the tree..because there is no subject or object . I actually believe that not too far away the contraction of humanity will fall apart and the idea of separation will just collapse. I have no idea what the experience will be in between Chaos maybe .. If you are holding on to any past sexual experience with an other that will hold you back from opening up the entire body to divine experience. Because whilst you still have your own will you are the power-holder of your experience. You decide what you open up to and what you keep closed to. Until you give that game up. Don't keep your consciousness trapped in past sexual experience. Don't keep your body and your heart closed. Only your human heart can break. Your Divine Heart can't....and if your human heart breaks then your Divine Heart will pour into that breaking . That is the possibility!

Good marriages don’t just happen. Jesus made it clear that God’s original intent for marriage was that it be permanent (not temporary); life-long (not convenient); and a marathon (not a sprint).
