Find a quiet place to sit.

Do what you can to prevent distractions.

Be seated in any meditative posture and allow yourself to be comfortable.

Activate your abdominal region to maintain a straight back.

Place your hands on your knees or palms facing up if you wish to lay down for this practice.

Gently close your eyes and your mouth.

And let's start by taking a deep breath in through the nose and out through the nose.

Rest your attention on your breath.

It will be your anchor throughout this meditation.

Allow each inhalation and exhalation to bring you more presence.

Give yourself permission to relax,

Unwind,

And allow the natural state of being to fill the space.

Breathe in relaxation.

Breathe out stress.

Breathe in fully and gently and breathe out gently.

The views in Taoism of relationships between partners is that to be the greatest companion to your other half,

You do not need to be like them.

You don't have to replicate them in any way.

It's about respect and acceptance for who the other person is and what they can be in your life.

Live and let live.

The Tao way is to become together and combine your essence with respect for each other as you are.

The Tao way is to become together and combine your essence with respect for each other as you are.

Two people walk on a journey of life parallel.

There is no need to make sure the person be on your journey.

There's no need to be on the same journey.

There is no need to put expectations on the other to live away from their own journey.

When you turn towards the stillness,

The aloneness,

The meditation,

The art of turning inward,

Look inside yourself to find out if you feel insecure,

Have low self-esteem or doubt yourself.

If this troubles you,

It's because you've lost the ability to completely love yourself.

And the good thing is there's many different ways to seek help.

In a relationship,

It can become very quickly chaotic or very slowly fall apart because we're not able to love or receive the love coming from the other.

It can be easier to point the finger instead of turning inward to face the fear.

The challenge,

The lesson.

It's important to be able to turn inside towards your heart and ask yourself,

Am I loving myself?

If the answer is yes,

Then there is no point to demand,

To control,

To use force or attack your partner.

You need to accommodate each other to complement each other.

Without sacrifices,

A relationship grows stagnant or unbalanced.

If something is just given without getting anything in return,

They can do whatever they want without caring about the outcome.

There has to be an investment on both sides.

There has to be an understanding and mutual respect coming from both sides.

There must be a real contribution to love,

Respect,

And understanding not only to each other,

But oneself.

This is why we must be willing to learn about ourselves if we want to experience the wealth and richness of being in a relationship,

If we want to know the truest meaning of sharing with others.

When you choose a partner for yourself,

You're also choosing what you need to learn about yourself.

Sometimes we don't know why we choose certain people to be in our lives or to be our partner or how the attraction got so intense.

In fact,

A lot of these inner workings of relationships and attraction take place in the subconscious mind where we cannot see because we cannot see the source of our own desires,

Because we're afraid of turning inward.

This is why it's important to go inwards,

Towards the heart,

And be fully honest with yourself.

Only then can your heart begin telling you the truth,

Your truth.

You can learn more about our free course at www.

Mesmerism.

Info You want to feel the joy and happiness towards each other?

Of course.

In order to find the best partner for you now,

You need to ask yourself,

Am I the one capable to attract my partner?

You need to turn inward to improve the quality of your life on all levels.

Once you feel deserving of this complimentary energy in your life and you know from a place of being connected on the inside,

Then everything blossoms from one seed.

But if you're not fully committed to improving the quality of life,

Then the body cannot house a healthy spirit or a healthy mind.

It cannot be ready to accept the love you most crave.

Much in the same way,

We cannot just focus on improving one aspect of our life if we want transformational change.

We also cannot just focus on improving parts of our self in order to experience transformational love.

We must be wholeheartedly committed to loving and being loved in return.

If you love yourself and respect yourself,

You will be giving yourself a good start to build love and light in your life.

This place of being and knowing will attract your partner naturally.

You don't have to be busy searching outside.

You don't need to act desperate to find someone who will love you.

You don't need to risk your health or well-being to find a soulmate.

You deserve love.

We all deserve love.

Be brave and bold enough to turn inside,

Face the silence and what can come from it,

And ultimately commit to improving the quality of your energy,

The energy of your aloneness,

The quality of energy while you're being still and connecting with yourself on the inside,

With your own yin and yang.

If you can ultimately commit to this before it reaches another heart,

You're going to find the love you deserve.

In this way,

You find what you are ready for patiently and without distractions.

Are you capable and willing to share love?

Are you ready to manifest love?

In great companions to the end of your days,

In Tao,

That is the purpose of life,

To enjoy and live with happiness.

Relationships are not about dominating.

They're about sharing.

What do you have to share from yourself?

What do you have to bring to the table?

What are you comfortable with bringing to the table?

If you're a strong person,

You can attract another strong mate.

Even if you consider yourself stronger than your partner,

It's not black and white.

Your weaknesses can be your partner's strengths,

But you don't realize it yet.

It's not master and slave relationship.

The human spirit is free,

And just because we can dominate each other's bodies,

You can never control their spirit.

Real love is supporting and contributing something good to their life and not robbing them of their freedom.

Thank you for watching!
