This discussion is mostly aimed at those who are advanced and are mature.
I'm wanting to know who else is feeling that they are just not that interested in relationships or sex anymore.
I have been fine with established lovers here or there over the years without getting right into a relationship with them. (Based on mutual respect and trust). However, it was surprising to just turn off meat and animal products overnight, now I'm overcoming alcohol cravings and am conscious (and now desire to) giving it up altogether just as I always knew I'd become vegetarian again. I'm wondering if chocolate is next in attempt to keep eating only the purest of foods.
I've been meditating everyday and it's doing wonders.
But, I have a hunch that I'm not as needy now and whether I'm going to manage? I really enjoyed a beautiful night alone (Saturday) last night as I made an organic salad and did my own thing. I got up and saw the stars out this morning and enjoyed the peaceful surrounds.
I'm not sure if I'm wanting to join my energies with someone that is not vibrating at the same rate anymore. We have all had dysfunction but joining with someone who isn't trying to attain to be spiritual - you just don't know really.
Any thoughts? If you've been single and on your path alone and managed well, I'd love to hear.

Hey Butterfly, sounds like you're on a roll! Good for you : )
Well I am 33 and only just had my first relationship, he still doesn't believe that he was my first boyfriend but he really was! So yes, I have a bit of experience being single.
The relationship was great for me, because I had never experienced intimacy before and it was sooo nice. I was gutted when he left town, but ya know what? I'm over it already lol! (I almost feel embarrased to be over it so quickly!)
A lot of my single life has felt quite lonely, but I do truly relish my freedom and (mostly) my solitude. I think being single, and especially, living alone, are big advantages in terms of spiritual development. Just having the freedom to think, meditate, follow your inner urges etc.
The only possibility of me being in a live-in relationship would be if I had my own room/space where I could retreat to, because I find it draining to be around other people too much.
Having said that, if I ever found someone who I felt could truly love and accept me as I am, my need to retreat would be much less.
I can't see myself ever being in a 'conventional' live-in relationship because it just wouldn't meet my needs for freedom, independence and solitude.
That's interesting Merryn!
When we see their dysfunction, I believe it helps us to detach. We see they are on their own path.
You are still young and I think some of the responses on here, come from even people in their 20s. I didn't hold back and feel it's out of my system now.
When it came to sharing the house for a small patch of time, the last Mr I had (not long ago) would put the tv on so mindlessly. He wanted to keep 'informed' he said. He knew it was a bit of a rule in my house but to keep arguing and making a fuss about it I felt was too much bother. These people love big screen tvs (I'm never getting one) and have it on for no reason, blarring out conversation and peace. So I'm not intending to do this in the future. It's a horrible energy even if they're nice people.

Hi Butterfly,
I am feeling the same thing, love to be alone, to talk with God.., meditate, go to the nature, to walk true the city, feeling joy, eating good staf, a lot of vegetable, drink a lot of water,spend time with friends who are in the heart, dancing, work out,traveling...but getting involved in some sex partnership,..nooooo, not any more, i am single of my last karmic partner for one and a half year, i had enought drama in my life;) He did try to go in spirituality, but he admit that it was yust from the ego, to indulge me, in the end and he was nice one.... There is a lot good looking body around, and sweet souls too, but i do not feel any of them....now is my time. At last. I did call for my twin but i am in no hurry. I had all the time. I bread life and enjoy it, i can expand. I really do feel like this. I love solitude in now.
That's good to here Ariela
Sounds like we are all going into some form of raising our vibration together. I like how you mention veges.
It shouldn't be said though, that sexual experiences don't teach us a lot. They definitely do. If you can share an intimate experience with someone and you can both come out respecting each other and have some kind of deeper "sacred" experience, it's definitely a special thing... :)
We have only touched the surface of what we are capable of as far as sharing our deeper sexual experience with someone, I think that as we Ascend and Transform, it will open us up to possibilities we never could have dreamed of!
As for where I am right now, I do feel a little distant from sexuality, but at the same time I feel more intense energies than ever before... I think the key is getting out, experiencing people, on a simple level, it doesn't have to be complex, as we blossom into what we are becoming, I think we will be able to open up more... :)
Even spending time with ourself will prove to be healing, especially after going through an intense break up.
I think sexual experiences can definitely be a way to enlightenment.
The Kundalini is also amazing as well ~ I've heard.
I think, and "hope" that this will happen to us all eventually!! :-)
We all deserve to experience the deeper energies that are connected to sexuality. I think people's lack of sexual experiences also have bad results for them, they end up dwelling on things that distract them from what's really important.
We are not meant to deny ourselves something that can be so amazing and wonderful ~ and heal us on a profound level. But I wouldn't be being honest if I didnt say I feel cut off from tbat energy somewhat, right now....
