Polyamory is one of those topics that still makes people raise their eyebrows at the dining table. For a lot of people, this way of relating is simply an excuse to have more sex. For others, polyamorous relationships represent a way to fasten their spiritual journey. One way or the other, polyamory is here to stay!
Enter the Polycule
Honestly, there’s no easy way to define polyamory. When you step outside of the binary world of monogamous relationships, the possibilities are near-infinite. For most people, a polyamory relationship involves more than two people. But the shape and dynamics of a polycule can vary greatly!
Because yes! While the ordinary world is made of molecules, the polyamorous world is made of polycules! These clusters of people are the basic building block of any polyamorous relationship, and they can take almost any shape, size, and color!
From one person rotating between different, unrelated lovers, to groups of couples that share intimacy, and large, harem-like structures, every single polycule is unique in its nature and parameters. Precisely because of their malleability, polyamory relationships are a huge opportunity for growth.
Love, multiplied
When two people relate (romantically or not), chances are that they are going to, sooner than later, trigger each other. This natural process is what allows humans to grow. When involved in romantic relationships, this dynamic becomes critical for the parties involved.
This is what at The Prysm we define as conscious relating: trusting both parties are there for the benefit of each other.
But what happens when you add more people into the mix?
Assuming you have mastered the art of conscious relating, polyamory can boost your spiritual journey! By multiplying your opportunities to get triggered (and work around those triggers), you’re giving yourself the chance to evolve even faster!
But if you are still in the trenches of conscious relationships… chances are adding more people will actually worsen your experience!
Is polyamory right for you?
At this point, you’re probably wondering if polyamory might be your thing.
While there are a lot of reasons why you could consider getting into a polyamorous relationship, there are also plenty of reasons to maybe wait a little longer. At the end of the day, it is your decision (and your partner’s, in case you’re considering migrating from molecule to polycule together!), and it is entirely up to you.
That being said, a great first step to taking this decision is getting informed!
For this week’s ‘Alchemize Your Life’, Cian and I have transformed our couple into a triad! Yup, that’s right. We have invited our friend Susanne Zenshin (@bewusstseinsmut) as our first guest ever, to discuss the heavenly highs and the heartbreaking lows of polyamory!
From the logistical challenges, the main misconceptions, and the legal grey areas, in this episode, we dive fully into the polycule lifestyle!
Believe me, when we tell you, this episode is as juicy as it gets! So you better make sure to tune in and discover what polyamory is truly all about!
And remember to join us at The Prysm Institute Of Quantum Alchemy to keep this conversation going. In there, you will find free tarot readings, exclusive dharma talks, and maybe your next polycule (just kidding, or not…)!
If you want to deepen your polyamory, make sure to check Susanne’s poly reading list, and check their poly community in Cologne, Germany!
Til the next episode, lightbender!
With limitless love and passion,
Sophie, Cian & The Prysm Team
