Finding Peace in Love & Relationships

I made this video a year ago (after a break up of my own) during a series on the Yamas and Niyamas in relationships. Practicing Santosha (contentment) can show up in many ways and life practices. Something I am currently practicing is pacing myself in new connections. Allowing a proper slow burn as I get to know someone new. Not falling in love but learning who they are and then deciding if I want to choose love.

The practices I mention at the end of this video have helped me evaluate connections over the years. And I won’t say it helps me see what connections are “good” or “bad” but it allows me to stay in connections the way that I can while I can. And the rest of the Yamas and Niyamas help me navigate how much to give or not give to the connection.

But why if… we stop questioning what’s going to happen and predicting outcomes? What if we just live in the moment, experience the connection as it is. Are we cared for in connection is the REAL question.

If you enjoyed this, drop a comment and I’ll share more of these if you’d like.
