Physical Closeness is Key for Successful Relationships - 11 May 10

11 May 2010  Wiesbaden, Germany

Swami Ji

Today we left Copenhagen. We are now sitting in the train, writing the diary. It is a 12 hour journey back to Wiesbaden, so we have a lot of time to think of our short but very nice stay in Copenhagen.

As I have been there many times over the last years, I know many people and have many friends there. And it is a very nice city, very multicultural and very open. We were talking a little bit about the chakra dance party and noticed that people were really quick in opening and expressing. That can be culture, it can be because there were many people, it can be because in Copenhagen they are more used to this kind of alternative party. Well, definitely we had a great time with many open people.

I had a healing session with a couple, with one of them yesterday and with the other one today. They had some confusion and misunderstanding in between each other which came from their modern lifestyles and their jobs which did not give them enough time together. They did not have enough time to create the comfort to open their heart and share. But they both have love for each other. I told both of them how necessary it is to have physical closeness. A relationship doesn’t work over internet or chat or phone. Many people try, that is why some dating sites are among the most popular sites on the internet. Flirting over chat might be fine, you can have some fun also with a webcam or you can fix a time and place for meeting but in the end you need to physically meet, you need to be there in person. And if you want a well-functioning relationship you need to give time and be there. This is why I said to the couple: you need to find time to really be together. I will be very happy if their love can grow and they can find happiness with each other.

To me, the physical aspect of a relationship is extremely important with your spouse. Both the time spent in physical presence and the essence and expression of physical love and sex. It is a beautiful way in which love is shared with someone special, and it is hard to have a close relationship that lacks physical contact and touching (in the case of a spouse or lover). Having a healthy and fulfilling physical relationship with the one you love can augment and heal the emotional and mental hardships. Very important in my opinion.

I know what that's like, I wish that couple all the best. My husband and I went through something similar recently and it was a it painful at first. The less time we spent together the more we fought when we were together. I think what really changed the relationship was when we started becoming intentional about being with and loving each other. Instead of being together only when we both had time- we made time. Instead of waiting for the other to approach and show signs of affection, we made the goal to approach the other. It has made us very happy, and yes, physical closeness makes a big difference.

Words of Wisdom

  • Superstition

    Many sportspeople make themselves dependent on a psychological illusion. It is the right seat in the bus due to which they win, not their talent. It is the lucky glove which had them catch the ball, not their good eyes and training to stand at the right spot!

  • Prediction

    Nobody can predict the future, nobody knows it. The future is written in the stars but you cannot read and translate it. The mystery of what will come next has its own beauty, .

    Source
  • Religion

    Some people don't want to accept that what they believe in is a religion. It is a sign of bad conscience because of religion's control and manipulation. But calling it a 'way of life' does not change it!

    Source
  • Sex

    Equality does not mean that you give sexual freedom to women and control, blame, accuse and judge men!

    Source
  • God

    I personally like the God of nonbelievers more than the God of believers. He is a thought, a good thought, is in my heart and in my mind. I made him myself. I created him how I wanted him to be. He is mine. That is why I love him and why I also believe in him.

  • Happiness

    Stop comparing yourself to others and be happy!

    Source
  • Religion

    The Kumbh Mela was created by war, corruption, cheating, greed and the wish for immortality.

    Source
  • Religion

    You cannot buy blessings with a donation to a temple. You cannot buy luck and a good destiny like rice on the market. You have to create it yourself!

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion has created social structure - and now we have the ‘untouchable’ caste!

    Source
  • Enlightenment

    Maybe this time, which we are experiencing now, will later be called ‘Digital Bhakti Kal’, a time of devotion through digital media. Applications and programs will be interactive scriptures that judge your spiritual progress. There will be an option to pay some money and get access to higher levels and ranks straight away. It will be expensive but those who have the money can get online enlightenment from one second to the other simply via credit card.

  • Religion

    Religious people who want to be modern try to find a way to combine religion and science because one can survive without religion but not without science.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion is the root problem of sex crimes against women.

    Source
  • God

    Believers cheat themselves by thinking god created everything bad for a reason.

    Source
  • Victim

    Don't enjoy being a victim. Don't keep your problems like companions but let them go.

    Source
  • Religion

    Crime and Religion - why are they so close?

    Source
  • Money

    No, money is not everything and you cannot express the value of everything in Euros, Dollars or Rupees!

    Source
  • Acceptance

    If something is different than you thought, accept it and see the beauty of the difference.

    Source
  • Happiness

    For many people the happiness of others is a bigger reason to be sad than their own problems.

    Source
  • Meditation

    Meditation is a good way to discover your feelings and to come from head to heart.

    Source
  • Belief

    People believe in superstition because it gives rest and comfort to the mind. It is the human nature that you want to believe only what is favourable and comfortable for you, even if that is not true.
