but simply are not ready nor willing to walk the path of a monk... And there are many in this category. There is now a group for you... The dynamic is just the starting practices are to be done.. The group will be seekers supporting seekers. Practices are as follows 1. Balanced Breath 2. Dissolving Divisions 3. Gratitude Journal 4. Giving Seva to : Guru, Community, Family, and world There is just as much given with those practices as you will find on most paths - ie: Plum Village etc. This way you can have a community of like minded seekers and yet not be bound by the constrictions of the path of a Mystic which is solely geared to going FULLY towards Realization while turning a blind eye to the worlds pull.... When you aren't ready to let the chips fall where they may and have ideas about romantic partners etc. then you are better off being real and taking the road more frequently traveled. Quitude - Meditation - Being in the Moment - is quite enough of a practice when trying to balance Relationships - Goals - Worldly dynamics that keep the mind engaged into a drama spin. This path REQUIRES 1. Honesty - This means be honest with yourself and Guru about where your full attention lies... 2. Integrity -- This means being honest about sexual relationships etc. Celibacy MUST be adhered to when you are not married are dating etc. When you are violating this then how can you say you are 100 % committed to Realization ? 3. Transparency --- If you have to hide it from Guru-G then you are being less than honest and this will weigh on your consciousness. So better to be in a group that will be supportive of the lifestyle that includes dating - marriage - children and playing in the world. Please keep your attention in the Heart Center --- • You may read more Heart Centered material. • Keep up the Gratitude Journal making sure you find a reason to have gratitude for your mate every day... • Do the balanced breath and plenty of Om that I AM. • Sit in Quietude. • Bhakti centered Music is nice to play and delve into. • One can put up and altar in order to focus your devotional aspect and this can be tailored however you wish to do it. Will post something on setting up altars... • IF your partner is amiable to the path you can sit together gaze into each others eyes and do OM That I AM ... IF not then simply do it internally from the Heart when you happen to catch your lovers gaze during the day. • When you see your partner internally bow within and do Namaste in order to Honor the core of Being... • Give GLAD Seva to your partner so that they feel secure within your relationship. Be willing to look at and take into consideration their concerns as well as your own. • Give the BEST you can give at all times... BE the BEST you can Give at ALL times... • In order to keep the LOVE Alive then be LOVING. EACH Relationship has a different Dance so come to know your Dance Partner and Find a harmonious union. Surrender into the dynamic that fuels Love rather than simply is your projection of what You desire without concern for your partners well being... It takes two both dancing the Same dance and direction for a routine to be successful.
