Usually, the reasons for misunderstandings in a relationship are much more complex than they appear at first glance. In fact, on a subconscious level, most people gradually begin to develop certain behavioral patterns that they then follow unconsciously, which distance them from true love. Many people believe that their partner doesn’t understand their feelings and needs, which is one of the main factors for creating distance between couples—eventually leading to separation. There’s nothing wrong with two people deciding not to be together, because not only do individuals change over time, but so do their ideas of what constitutes a harmonious and fulfilling relationship.
If we go back to the beginning of a relationship, the forces of attraction are so strong that whatever initial expectations one may have had, they are put on the back burner for a while. Typical of this phase are sensations of euphoria, a sense of significance and satisfaction, carried by a wave of happiness hormones produced throughout the body. This is how the magic of love occurs and the dance with your partner begins—one you wish would never end. But like most things in nature, these feelings are not eternal. It is believed that it takes about 5 to 6 months to come out of this strong initial “trance.” After that, we begin to see our partner more clearly and make more conscious decisions. Moving past this phase is a challenge for many people who wish to continue riding the wave of happiness and love their partner deeply.
According to the ancient wisdom of yoga, we possess immense potential that simply awaits development so we can blossom as individuals. By learning to pay a bit more attention to certain aspects of our lives, we can significantly strengthen our connection with those around us. What exactly does this positive change involve? Letting go of the need for control, showing more respect toward your partner, and working toward shared goals are some of the things that can definitely help. While conflict is inevitable, regular meditation can significantly improve the way you perceive and approach situations. And what could be better than two people meditating together and striving for a truly fulfilling life as a couple?
In fact, we can say that there are two priorities in relationships: one is spiritual and the other physical. Both are important and shouldn’t be neglected, and the ideal scenario is to achieve a balance between them. That’s when everything could truly feel like a fairytale with a happy ending. But if we look at relationships from a long-term perspective, it’s the spiritual aspect that gives them depth and helps them endure. This type of connection feels the most natural, effortless, and spontaneous. You can recognize it by the feeling of peace it brings—as if everything is in its right place and there’s nothing to worry about.
Spiritual attraction occurs when it’s not just the mind that chooses, but the soul as well. You may already know that human existence is multidimensional, and the body represents only one level of being. Another level is the mind, which governs our daily actions, and the ego, linked to our instinct for self-preservation. Memory plays a crucial role with its store of experiences, and through intellect, we can discern what is beneficial for us and what is not. Yoga and spiritual knowledge help you develop each of these levels of existence, allowing you to reveal your true and best self to the world.
