Spending the rest of your life with
another person can be a joyous and fulfilling experience provided you pick
someone with whom you are compatible. Looking for and finding a life
partner is like getting ready for an adventure of a lifetime and not always
knowing where it may lead. Having compassion as a guide map, meditation as a
compass, and love as a light to show the way can help.
Discovering
the regular match points like feelings for each other, exploring each other’s
ways of living and like and dislikes, turn ons and offs, and talents and quirks
usually take a toll on us, and leaves us hanging in the hugest dilemma of “To
Do or Not To DO” for a time that seems longer than eternity!
But
believe you me, you can easily survive through this, with a smile and make the
wisest choice for you and your partner if you share this common trait;
Meditation! In this article we will talk about why Meditation should be an
essential trait to seek in your partner and how it can make your relationship
harmonious.
Being Friends
First!
Meditation gives you deep relaxation and
contentment from within. When you are relaxed and content in your own life, you
become sensitive to others’ needs.
Friendship is all about being sensitive to each other’s needs. When we
meditate, we rest in our nature and silence the unrest within. Meditation is a return to silence, where two
people can rest in their nature and nurture peacefulness.
As good friends, Meditation allows
you to be on the same wavelength at the same time in supports you in your own
individual quest.
Just Being together at Peace!
Just Being together at Peace!
Meditation
is a process of deeper cleansing. It is a great stress booster and reduces your
need to use words to resolve conflict or to simple create some noise. When two
individuals share quality time meditating, unsaid thoughts and unexpressed
emotions are silenced and peace dawns.
Majority of conflicting situation and negative emotions can be dealt
with by just being! Time is the best healer.
Appreciating Differences!
How
often have you heard the expression, “opposites attract”? Like yin and yang,
sweet and sour, winter and summer, one simply complements the other. Sitting in
meditation once or twice a day can give you the sensitivity to enjoy the
oppositeness!
Tolerating conflicts & Enjoying a Laugh!
A Meditating mind is usually very
tolerant. Being established in positivity and calm in yourself one tends to
become tolerant and accepting of small conflicts in everyday life. Enjoy the
Happy space within has become your nature and everyday issues are just tiny
pebbles in your stride which are worth a good laugh! Unexpected delays, problems
and difficulties are now dealt with wisely, together as a couple even lots of
laughter!
Meditation helps us respond to
conflict with a sense of humor. Aha, the switch! Becoming more relaxed and at
ease, through meditation, we can realize that this “switch” comes from
somewhere within.
Recognizing From the Heart!
“The heart knows to recognize. You cannot
recognize your life partner, your guru, from the outside appearance, but
through your heart. Something happens in your heart, you feel in your heart
that he is honest and good, he belongs to me. So, become peaceful,” says Sri
Sri Ravi Shankar.
Effective Communication!
Good Communication is the essence of
Great Relationships! Meditation
connects you back to your natural state, your very existence. With a sense of
peace that is getting strengthened by your meditation practice every day, your
naturalness comes through in your expressions. Communication spontaneously
rises from the heart. Authentic sharing begins and it takes more than just
baseless words and expressions said in a moment of stress to shake your bond of
love and togetherness!
The Sensitive “US”!
Over
attention and involvement and even expression can suffocate a sane
relationship. Love needs some space to grow and blossom fully. Meditation makes
you sensitive to the space that you need for yourself and your partner co-exist
in peace and love. With that sensitivity, clashes are less likely to happen.
