Caught up in the philosophy of yoga, this needs to be shared. It comes from Buddhism (not a religion but a practice). This is from my yoga certification course, i hope it touches you in a healing way.
*Maitri - Loving Kindness - this is not only the desire to make someone happy, but the ability to do so. You may have every intention to love someone, but the way you love may make them unhappy. Truly look at the one you love & develop a deeper understanding of who they are as a person. By understanding the person you love, you will in turn, learn how to love them. This understanding is based on ambitions, the desires & the troubles of your love.
*Karuna - Compassion - this is the ability to ease the pain of others, as well as the desire to. This is also based on understanding, but the understanding of the suffering of your love. Only when you truly understand their suffering will you be able to help in alleviating & easing their burdens.
*Mudita - Joy & Happiness - if your love upsets you or distresses you, then it is in fact not love to begin with, or the love is lost. Love must be fulfilling & bring joy & happiness to those who feel it. When we are in love & experiencing joy from it, our love grows stronger & this is a sign that the love is true.
*Upeksha - Freedom - when love is true, both people within the couple should have freedom & feel free within the relationship. Each person should feel free to be an individual to allow them to grow & develop in their own way. This allows you to be yourself & have time alone, safe in the knowledge that your love is doing the same. There should also be freedom within the relationship, being able to feel comfortable to share ideas & thoughts without fear of judgement.
If you have failed at one moment in time or another... forgive & love yourself. It's a practice, always strive for better. ❤
