The Yoga of Relationships

This poetry piece is about how to deepen love. I have had my fair share of relationship pain and loss. On my journey, I’ve learned how you deepen love is truly by deepening self-love.

It’s my wish that you cultivate a sense of self-love so that you don’t feel it necessary to put up with abusive relationships as you might have in the past.

The poem was divinely inspired. I remember it coming to me, having to get to my computer (or was it a piece of paper, can’t remember?) and start writing. I must have written this piece in a matter of minutes and then refined it over time.

Let it inspire and inform you on how to deepen love in your life. Enjoy!

The Yoga of Relationships Poem

Relationships

What are they for?

To deepen love even more

Yoga means union

A coming together

Sometimes for a season, sometimes forever

Two are as one, in a dance and a flow

Learning from each other as a path to grow

If we don’t

It is jagged, stressful and more

Feeling such pain… deep in your core

Creating drama, not really knowing what for

Living in “story” that doesn’t open your heart

Getting stuck in a way of life that rips you apart

Maybe living in numbness and lack of desire

Having lost the connection and passionate fire

Building walls and ways of thinking that start the relationship demise

Not knowing there is another way… all you have to do is open your eyes

Instead, we blame our lover

Saying, “I’ll just find another”

Only to realize, over time, that’s an illusional cover

How can we change this and stop wounding each other?

Instead, become each other’s healers and deeply precious for one another

So much beauty, grace and pleasure is right there in front of you

Just open your eyes as so few do

Yoga is union and seeing all as one

Learning to dance with each other in a way that is fun

We didn’t learn that from our parents, most likely… that is for sure

Stepping outside what you learned…. is the cure

Your beloved is your gift to show you many things

First and foremost a different perspective is exactly what he or she brings

Your union was divinely inspired

Think of how you met

The angels worked hard to make it a sure bet

You attract that which creates an opportunity for your personal expansion

Your beloved has the key to your inner mansion

Your partner knows exactly how to push your buttons and get you going

Now all you have to do is step into the powerful knowing

When you begin to dance in owning your part

The relationship will flower from deep within the heart

Exquisitely designed those buttons are real

Getting you to authentically feel

Feel the parts of you that are disconnected or shut down

And through a softening and support from your beloved can be re-found

The way to bliss is within us all

Simply by choosing to release the wall
