Enjoy immersing into the non-lineal and unraveling your heart. Fascinating, nourishing and inevitably &#8211; life changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These books have delighted readers who feel the books manage to put into words emotions they could only feel but not talk about. These books are guaranteed to surprise you &#8211; you may quite possibly be gently taken to places within you have never been. It is impossible to come away without having felt new perspectives on the age old question: who and what are we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bursting with life, dance, creativity, conversation and love-making these pages breathe inspiration: a ceramist created a whole new range of pottery. A cellist, in the books&#8217; composed and played a whole new concert and called it, &#8216;On Intimacy&#8217;; and four women independently wrote to say that reading these books was life changing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing on Jungian Psychology <em>On Intimacy<\/em> openly explores themes such as self-respect, the journey within, attraction, self-doubt, connection with the divine, sex, fairytales, desire, polyamory, relationship and acceptance. Filled with creative courage this book combines the essence of poetry with the elegance of prose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B094SZMK8D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/intenselypersonal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EBOOK1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3346 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intenselypersonal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EBOOK1-scaled.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/intenselypersonal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EBOOK1-188x300.jpg 188w, https:\/\/intenselypersonal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EBOOK1-640x1024.jpg 640w, https:\/\/intenselypersonal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EBOOK1-768x1229.jpg 768w, https:\/\/intenselypersonal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EBOOK1-960x1536.jpg 960w, https:\/\/intenselypersonal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EBOOK1-1280x2048.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Frank and fearless, drawing on her own work as a Jungian Psychologist <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B094SZMK8D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Self and Other\">Self and Other<\/a><\/em> openly explores themes such as&nbsp;<strong>self-respect, attraction, and the joys and fears of intimacy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This \ufb01rst book in the series&nbsp;<em>On Intimacy<\/em>&nbsp;explores intimacy with self &#8211; without which truly authentic relationships with others are impossible.&nbsp;<strong>Who are we?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to relate with others?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B094TKTDWV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/intenselypersonal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EBOOK2-640x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3347 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intenselypersonal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EBOOK2-640x1024.jpg 640w, https:\/\/intenselypersonal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EBOOK2-188x300.jpg 188w, https:\/\/intenselypersonal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EBOOK2-768x1229.jpg 768w, https:\/\/intenselypersonal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EBOOK2-960x1536.jpg 960w, https:\/\/intenselypersonal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EBOOK2-1280x2048.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/intenselypersonal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EBOOK2-scaled.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B094TKTDWV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Fairytales, Sex and Truth\"><em>Fairytales, Sex and Truth<\/em><\/a> is <strong>thrilling on the edge<\/strong>.
