...ance. Then simply focuses on the positive. Beyond nave and short term puppy love, romance is a consciousness, a true witnessing of the symmetry which makes a human divine.
Key 3. In relationship, there is a balance of support and challenge. Each support is an experience of happiness, and each challenge is like a posture we cannot surrender to. Learning from these challenges takes us deeper and deeper in love.
As in all Yoga, challenge confronts the ego and that is why most people run from it. For the ego, the most potent experience of love comes in the infatuation of the first months or years, the honeymoon period. Using blame and accusation, the ego causes a scintillating burst of excitement, but it is all unsustainable.
Key4.
People are attracted to each other on the basis of who helps me live my dreams? The most potent secret to long lasting relationships is dream matching. So, knowing the difference between a goal and a dream is a vital awareness for sustainable attraction. Goals are achievable outcomes, once achieved, they no longer count. Many people are attracted because they feel the pull of a magnificent goal, but then, they achieve the goal and suffer deeply. My experience working with clients is that this one key is the cause of nearly 99% of relationship failure.
In my book, Sacred Love, I have included a vision quest for lovers. A do it yourself, 6 week stay at home process for vision quest.

...tion my body and mind to manage stress and anxiety through breathing with my body, not against it. You see, yoga is much more than a meditational or contortionist exercise. It actually transcends what we think of as exercise.
Yoga is a tool that we can use to manage stress, condition our mind and body to be more in touch with one another, and to also gain a sense of tranquility and well being.
