The Delicate Dance Of Love
()
About this ebook
There is a delicate dance of love that affects all relationships. Other people act like mirrors to reveal us to our self. Know yourself. Accept yourself. Love yourself. Know what you want, believe, dream about and desire. Then help others to know, accept and love themselves too. True intimacy requires sensitivity, kindness and conscious awareness of yourself and others as you create the delicate dance of love YOU desire.
In this book you will develop an intimate knowledge of your own self – the way you think, feel, behave, respond and influence the thoughts, behaviors and responses of others. You will learn that everything you do, think, feel and believe has a strong effect upon others, both near and far. If your thoughts are heavy but you put on a smile, you are not fooling anyone but yourself. Others can feel your energy and sense your emotional state. You cannot hide.
Love begins at a point of pure contact between 2 people, but it does not end here. Loving and learning to love is an ongoing creation. It requires mindfulness, attention, commitment, practice,skill, caring and creativity. The most loving thing we can do for others is to honor them by speaking our truth, gently yet firmly, in the moment, the right moment, as if the hands of our heart could caress their soul as we speak.
None of us is an island unto our self. We affect and are affected by others all the time. This world and the entire universe is based upon relationship, one electron to another, one planet to another, one cell to another, one person to another. No matter how cool, indifferent, isolated or independent any one of us appears to be, we have all been affected by others and we all have our unique effect upon others.
Through our skin and all of our senses, we make contact with the world and we know and become known by others. Our eyes see and we are seen. Our ears listen and our voices are heard. We taste and smell our environment and our scent is experienced by others. Our energy and life force, our thoughts and our body posturing, our subconscious beliefs and attitudes, are seen or felt and responded to by others.
Some of us are currently unable to tolerate the pleasurable sensations of intimate contact. From negative life experiences, we may have become so numbed to sensation that the intensity must be high, even painful, for our mind to allow our body to feel. But all is not lost. HEALING IS POSSIBLE in every moment, if we truly desire to create intimate relationships in our life. Our brains develop millions of new pathways every day. We CAN change the way we think and feel at any moment.
If we have received caring and tender love, if our senses have been allowed to feel, explore and connect without interference, then we may easily and often reach that place of pure contact with others. At that intimate place, we understand each other without words. Our body comes alive with passionate desire and sensual pleasure. But if you have been afraid to get close because you may be rejected, abandoned, or hurt, this book will reassure you that YOU CAN find love and happiness and joy in a relationship. Learn what you need to learn. Get the help you need to receive. And start creating your own delicate dance of love. Don’t be afraid to dream of love, an ideal partner and a lifetime of love.
Now go out and make it happen by becoming the very best YOU that you can be. Be Who You Are, know that you are The Gift of Love, and become the love that you are seeking. Look inside your own mind and heart to find the love that is within you. Share your love with others and remain open to receive the love as it boomerangs right back to you. Love is a mystery. Love is a skill. Love is an emotion. And love can be created and maintained. Make the decision to love and start your own delicate dance of love.

In my dreams
I see you
Valiant angel
Of the vast blue sky
You sit upon a floating cloud
Waiting for me
In my prayers
I call to you
Courageous voyager
Through uncharted paths
Lead me to my dream
I'll follow
Now you're here
In front of me
Imagined lover
Come to life
Let's walk the path of love
Together
Come with me
To a quiet place
And rest awhile
Our journey has just begun
Take my hand and hold me
In your heart
Let's build a bridge
Stairway to heaven
Let’s take those long steps
One by one
See the blossoms all around us
Feel their fragrance in our hearts
Love's sweet journey
Moves us onward
Hearts in sync with nature's flow
Do not fear
Our hearts are open
Do not fear our love is pure
Dancing gently
Toward each other
Moving freely as we meet
Long embrace in cold of winter
Cooling breeze
In summer's heat
First you lead
Through storm and passion
Walking forward toward the light
The path of love continues onward
Hearts on fire
Leading home
