Currently a lot of people are reading A New Earth, a book by Eckhart Tolle on discovering our life purpose. After reading this book over spring break, I've been reflecting on what it has to say about sexuality. Though the book never actually gets around to sex, its ideas have a lot of relevance for those wanting a richer and more intimate sexual relationship.
Eckhart's main concept has to do with awakening to a new consciousness - a sense of our true, inner nature that goes way beyond our thoughts about who we are. In this awakened state of being, we recognize not only our own divine essence but the divine essence in every other life-form. No longer defined by our minds or our physical bodies, we can feel our oneness with the universe.
How much more dynamic our sexual lives would be if we brought that level of awakening to our lovemaking! I also have to imagine that spending more time in Being and less in doing might awaken long-buried sexual feelings. Because sexuality springs from our aliveness - our essence -anything that connects us to that source has the potential for unleashing sexual energy. That's just one more reason to wake up to who we really are.
