When tantric practice partners experience different levels of progress

My tantric practice partner and I have been working together for three years and recently we've been having completely different experiences during our deity visualization practices - they're having profound visions while I'm struggling with doubt and distraction and it's creating this unspoken tension where we both feel like we're failing each other. We don't know how to talk about it without seeming like we're questioning each other's realization or admitting our own inadequacy.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two practitioners are discovering that spiritual intimacy requires navigating the vulnerable terrain where individual realization meets shared commitment.
