I got into meditation around five years ago. In fact, it was meditation that helped me realize and gracefully accept that the person I was with at the time was not right for me. I felt this incredibly warm, loving sensation when I meditated—like a nourishing light—and I somehow understood that I did not feel that way in my relationship, but I should. Meditating helped me out of a bad relationship, and to find my partner who I now live with and am over-the-moon happy with! Naturally, I wanted to introduce him to the powers of meditation, too. My boyfriend struggles with anxiety, and I knew it would be very good for him. Funny enough, when he first tried it, he complained he was, “Too anxious to meditate.” Ha. It’s a catch 22. But he finally tried it, and it changed everything for both of us. Here is how meditating can improve your relationship.
