Note: We believe that the following article, while it was originally languaged for thinking Christians, has great relevance for everyone in the West at this time seeking to move toward sacred sex, for all of us are products of Christianity's 2000 year struggle to come to terms with sexuality.

"Sex is a kind of gnosis or holy knowing. In sex we get to know a person in a way that is more than special. Sex reveals much that is unconscious to both people, and so the unveiling that goes on at the physical level is mirrored as the soul itself sheds its protective covering……… Body and spirit marry in the chapel of the soul….. If they do not marry, we do not know sexuality with soul, and therefore our sexuality remains incomplete and insufficiently human." (1)
Thomas Moore - The Soul of Sex

SACRED SEX
It is likely that you have experienced this already!

If you are or have been in a close loving sexual relationship then the chances are very high that, on some occasions and to some degree, you will have already experienced 'sacred sex'. But equally, the chances are also very high that you have not understood that what was happening was a 'sacred marriage of souls'. This common lack of understanding comes about because most of us have never been exposed to either the context or language with which to describe what we at times experience and intuit at the highpoints of our love making.

We simply do not know how to understand what it is we are experiencing in those amazing 'Oh God, Oh God' orgasmic moments. We have no language to describe these outpourings and no concepts to explain the all-encompassing 'us-ness' that joins us in the wonder-filled after-glow of loving sex. Such a lack of understanding means that it is extremely difficult for most couples to enter more fully into and grow in the fullness and potential that is inherent in our sexuality.

The purpose of this article is to share our understandings of what the sacredness of sex may be about. We fully realise that we are not bringing the last word or 'all there is to know' on this deeply mystical subject. What we present springs from a strong desire, and indeed a sense of call, to seek to try and understand more deeply the profound joy and fire of our own relationship. Out sincere hope is that what we share may help in turning a light on in your mind and soul and cause one of those life changing 'aha' moments regarding the power and potential of your own sexuality. As you read, listen not only with your mind; listen also with your intuition and await its telltale inner surges of affirmation.
