Codependent, no more.

The goal of any relationship? To enjoy the relay. And the ship.

I believe relationships are a powerful vehicle to propel us into our highest destiny. It’s easy to create a vision by yourself, do things your own way, and dream of your ideal partner and relationship. You beam it through your 3rd eye in every meditation. You pray for it every morning and every night.

Then you get it (because you do Kundalini yoga and it’s the most efficient technology we know of).

And suddenly, all of the old patterns come up. You thought you were spiritual, and you end up getting mad for stupid shit. You’re not the embodied goddess you dreamed of anymore.

Relationships can trigger old patterns and bring out the best – and the worst – of us. A big one I believe is tendencies towards people pleasing, which I found is rooted in a deep desire to be loved and a fear of not being enough. Of course, you need to nurture the relationship and take care of each other, but you can’t be responsible of your partner’s state of being, emotions and happiness. Easier said than done when you love someone so much.

So how do we move from a state of codependency, where our feelings and happiness are so intertwined we can’t be in our sacred space, to a state of interdependency, where we thrive together while understanding we all have to walk up the mountain by ourselves?

We practice yoga and meditation. With accuracy and discipline. We find time to get on our mat, even for 3 minutes a day, to get back to our essence. So that we can be our full selves while being together.
