Life Companion

I don't have the life companion, or soul mate that I desire. But do I have myself. And I can choose to be my own soul mate and life companion in a tangible, supportive, and consistent way.

I also wish I had more consistent and frequent encounters with folks whom I do know and are in my 'inner circle'. Even so, I can show up fully, vulnerably and authentically with whomever I do personally encounter. I can engage each person, even if there is only ever this one meeting; with my whole, undefended heart and soul. I can listen to their heart and share my own. 

So in this way,  I do have a life companion, (me) and we have unlimited opportunities to meet our fellow humans and build intimacy in each and every personal encounter, creating the supportive and loving family we desire.

Yet I easily fall into others’ emotions, losing myself, losing my own emotional balance and losing perspective. It’s not comfortable nor sustainable. I’ve uncovered an intuitive and instinctive ability that lets me stay connected and present, highly attuned, yet not over-identified with, or engulfed by my own, or others’ emotional states.  I’m able to be aware of and witness difficult or intense emotional states, without being overcome or unbalanced. I remain alert, yet relaxed. I don’t get activated into fight or flight. I’m able to ride these states without being thrown.  I’d love to share this ability with you, and show you how to access it for yourself.  If you could have access to a simple subtle practice that would moderate and eventually free you from emotional roller coaster-ing, yet allow you to have fully alive, emotionally connected, ...
