The Architecture of Intimacy | Part 2: Presence
Why Presence is the Portal to Everything
There is another key to awakening sacred union within ourselves.
The first key is self-love.
The second…is presence.
The Architecture of Intimacy | Part 1: Self-Love
I’m becoming more and more convinced that self-Love is truly the first key to unlocking an abundant life.
On the surface, we may call this mindfulness…but there is something deeper I am speaking to when I say presence.
It is the art of simply being.
Not like a monk on a mountain…
But just being with yourself…your full self. With your soul self.
To me, it feels like a state of being where I have no expectations of myself, I am not responding to or thinking of anything else at the moment…and I just…am. I feel loved to the highest degree… and I know it is ME.
I suppose it is like meditation….but again…feels different to me.
Presence…with ourselves…with our creativity…with each other…is intimacy.
When you’re writing…drawing...whatever your art is…you are in presence with it. Focused, attuned…channeling even…this is intimacy. It’s what pours the energy of who we are in that moment into the artwork itself (creating a glyph, but that’s for another post).
It’s also why we have such complicated relationships to our art before reaching this state of being—imposter syndrome, writer’s block, etc. When we are experiencing this, we are not in tune with our creative energy or our sacral chakra. We’ve cut ourselves off from our life force energy (creative energy/love) due to a lack of self-love.
It’s why it can feel like a struggle or something you can’t grasp. You can float into it, but also out. If this is you…definitely look at your capacity for self-love.
This is a lifestyle. It takes conscious effort at first, but eventually becomes simply how you are.
Self-love is the first key that unlocks presence.
Presence is the key that unlocks intimacy.
Doing both within yourself creates a sacred union within. You stay in a paradoxical state—held and unheld. You simply are whole.
Sacred union with yourself is not a feeling.
It is a state.
It’s the moment you realize you no longer abandon yourself the second someone else’s energy enters the room. You no longer shift, contort, perform, or chase. You stay with you while life happens around you. This is being the eye of the storm.
It’s the internal knowing that:
Your emotions have a place to land
Your desires have room to breathe
Your nervous system has a home
Your soul feels met
Your mind feels understood
Your body feels safe in your own presence
Sacred union within is when you become both the container and the contained.
Both the witness and the witnessed.
Both the presence and the presence that is being met.
It’s what turns your inner world from something to escape…into a place you return to.
A sanctuary.
A home.
A pulse of life that is yours.
Only from this place does true intimacy — with anyone — become possible.
But that comes later.
For now, the intimacy that matters…is the one you build with yourself.

Psychic Meditation Reading
Are you still doubting if what you’re experiencing psychically is real or not?
I’ve been there. My guides challenged me to give readings to help me conquer my doubts.
After years of doing Meditation Readings, I can say that if you book this, you will find what we both see overlaps.
This is not me just sharing information with you from the other side. This is us going into a clear container with the intention that both of us will come back with messages and insights.
It doesn’t matter how your psychic gifts show up, what clairs you’ve unlocked or haven’t. Everyone can tap in.
Let’s give your doubt something to whine about. Book a reading and see for yourself what you’re capable of.
