With the rounding off of a deep, enriching journey into the inner-soulmate comes an opportunity to work with the erotic. The fantasies of our eroticism are rich areas for exploring the unconscious and bringing about greater self-awareness.
My own exploration around fantasy has been limited to the extent I struggled to acknowledge, even to myself, that I had any. Just bringing these into my conscious awareness was a moving process.
It's interesting about fantasies - they have a particular quality that is strongest in their ability to excite the less available they are. It's very much like the idea of romantic love in that respect where the allure and energy comes from what is beyond our grasp but is free in our limitless imagination. Typically, I believe, most would really prefer their fantasies to stay that way. The reality of meeting with a fantasy my not live up to the imagination and at worst may even ruin it. Or, as for me, the encounter could evoke deep fear and be very challenging to embrace.
This is precisely the point. In the encounter we meet with ourselves in an intimacy and vulnerability we do not normally permit. In that is a unique opportunity to unpack layers of unconsciousness that do not serve us and to integrate aspects of ourselves that have been supressed or denied. It is an opportunity to heal old wounds, unlock stagnation or release unexpressed energy - to free up the natural flow of energy and aliveness in our bodies. It is this freeing that potentially makes us more available to the fullness of our magnificence.

Prior participants have told me it was extremely challenging but very powerful - so much so that a few are considering repeating it. It's an exciting opportunity I look forward to (in a weird kind of way) to delve deep into self-knowledge.
What insights have you had working consciously with your erotisism? I would love to read your comments.
