This meditation supports the Stage Nine task of connecting to your partner. This is a vast and years long task with many different facets. In this task, you are challenged to connect with your partner in terms of trust, safety, grounding, sexuality, strength of self, compassion, love, expression, intuition, wisdom and divine nature. That\u2019s a lot! This meditation will support that process by helping you to focus on what you love about your partner, see their divine nature, and express that to them to deepen connection. You can use this meditation at any step of your couples work to boost your connection and motivation.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Posture<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Take a moment to get comfortable.\u00a0You can sit or stand or lay down. It\u2019s doesn\u2019t matter. You can close your eyes or keep them open. You can hold a picture of your beloved or close your eyes and imagine them. Do what works for you.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Presence<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Take a slow deep breath. Let it out like a sigh of relief. Be at peace. You are here now. Take another slow deep breath, and this time, send it out slowly, consciously, with purpose, all the way.\u00a0Be at peace. You are here now. Pause and repeat these breaths until you feel relaxed and at peace.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Journey<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>We begin the day you met. Go there now. Relive this moment. How did you feel? The excitement and potential of new love. Was it magic? Was it funny? Feel thanks for that experience.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In these early days&#8230; What was it that drew you together? What was it that put you in awe of them? What was it that give you joy? What about them made you thankful?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Time has passed&#8230; return to the present. You have both evolved from the experience, and from the course of your lives. What now puts you in awe of them? Feel awe and amazement for them. What now gives you joy in their presence? Feel joy for them. What about them are you thankful for? Feel gratitude for them.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Imagine now a future together. Deeply connected. Trusting. Grounded. Safe. Exciting. Each of you secure in your own independent selves, walking your journeys together, reveling in each other\u2019s purpose, in constant expression of love, joy, amazement, and gratitude. Deeply and completely connected. And so it will be.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Reach out to your partner with your energy and intention. Can you see how they glow? They are the divine light itself here on this earth and you get to be a part of that. You are the divine light itself here on this earth, experiencing your own divine nature, observing your love\u2019s divine nature. Shiva and Shakti. Then divine split in two to experience reuniting again.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Look at them. What do you see? Say it to yourself. Now say it to them.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Feel now the fullness of your heart&#8230; Your crown&#8230; your whole being lit up with love, joy, awe, gratitude. Yes. Bring this too your love and be with them.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Return<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>When you are ready, bring your awareness back to your surroundings. Notice how you feel. Take this feeling with you and return to it anytime you like. Express yourself to your partner often. Let them feel your love as joy, awe and gratitude. Allow that expression to deepen your connection.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Stage Nine guided meditation for deepening couple connection \u2014 revisiting how you met, feeling awe, joy, and gratitude for your partner, envisioning a connected future together, and recognizing the divine light in one another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2930,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","footnotes":""},"project_category":[2051,31],"project_tag":[36,2069,1429,654,180,900,280,649,981,2052,947,1452,1857,977,489,309,1012,1248,655,112,302,186,979,978,284,980,605,332,1361,283],"series":[],"class_list":["post-3422","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_category-guided-meditations","project_category-observations","project_tag-art","project_tag-books","project_tag-business","project_tag-complete-connection","project_tag-connection","project_tag-consciousness","project_tag-cycle","project_tag-cycle-of-human-development","project_tag-finding-peace","project_tag-guided-meditations","project_tag-human-development","project_tag-lasting-peace","project_tag-lastingpeace-org","project_tag-life-optimization","project_tag-meditation","project_tag-money","project_tag-podcasts","project_tag-poetry","project_tag-purna-asatti","project_tag-relationships","project_tag-religion","project_tag-science","project_tag-seeing-yourself","project_tag-self-mastery","project_tag-self-development","project_tag-self-improvement-2","project_tag-self-understanding","project_tag-society","project_tag-spirituality","project_tag-stages"],"acf":{"recommend_blurb":"For partners wanting to rekindle appreciation and intimacy.
