12 Qualities To Have Intimacy In A Conscious Relationship

Intimacy is an essential part of Co-Creating a Conscious Relationship™. Learning what intimacy is -- and what intimacy means - can take you a long way on your Journey from "I-TO-WE"™. Look at these qualities and see which ones apply to your relationship. Adopt the ones you like and create your own as well.
