There is a saying “Couples that pray together, stay together”. Well, I
also believe that couples that meditate together will do the same.
Couples meditation is a great way to grow closer, bond or even to stop
an argument. Meditation is a great way to help you and your significant
other keep a leveled head and bring balance back into the relationship.
People think that meditation is a personal experience that must only
be done alone. However, I believe that couple’s meditation can align
your breathing with your partner and allow you to both be more receptive
to each others emotional needs. In other words its a great way to get
better in tuned with each other.
The following is a great exercise to help you and your loved one learn couples meditation:
1. Sit cross-legged facing your partner so that your knees are
touching. Try as much as possible to keep your back straight during this
meditation. This allows you to breath openly and it makes you more
receptive to the flow of subtle energy within your body.
2. Place your hands on your knees. One of your palms should be facing
up, with your partner’s palm facing down atop it. Your other palm
should be facing down, atop the upward facing palm of your partner.
3. Breathe. Allow your breath to flow naturally. You’ll likely notice
after a few moments that your breathing has come into a alignment. This
is very good thing. This brings the two of you to a place of
receptivity.
Remember the most important part of this practice is to just simply
spend this quiet time together. Don’t force yourself, simply sit
quietly. When you an both allow this still moment to take place, you
will notice an increase in tenderness and an increase in presence in
your relationship.
So, choose a quiet place, simply breathe, be patient and try this for
about 10 minutes and see where it takes you. As you become more
advanced with couple meditation, you’ll be able to begin bringing your
mindfulness to different parts of your experience.

GREAT THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT
Nature shows us that beautiful things will
flourish over time with patience. The seasons shows us that what will be
is inevitable. When you know you have done all you can, stop worrying,
be thankful and go to sleep in peace....God is Always Awake. --JW
