Thoughts On Yoga & Relationships

Where There is Love There is No Question

This is something I didn't understand until I understood it. I spent eons trying to decide what love is and if I were in love with this person or that one. I realized it has nothing to do with seeming compatibility, such as background, belief systems, shared hobbies, or sun signs. It just is. And you know it. It has nothing to do with reason. Your heart really is the brain here, even if it makes no sense. Of course an astrologer can find patterns. A therapist can find patterns. Anyone with a specific focus can pinpoint reasons for the attraction, but none of that makes a difference when you find you are in love. You just know it? and then you understand where there is love there is no question.

The Real Work Begins Before the Relationship

All yoga is relationship. Your body and your breath. Movement and breath. Your body and the space around you. Yoga is ultimately about Union. Marriage is the ultimate yoga. Relationship begins with your self first - a relationship that deepens and grows and changes just like any other. Only when we deepen our appreciation of ourselves, and what we have to offer, can we begin to truly appreciate and truly support and love another. When you begin a relationship with someone it is the relationship with your self that continues to deepen as you learn to share your space with a partner.

Some Are More Equal Than Others
