The key to creating more harmony on the planet is to create healthy relationships with all we encounter. It’s not always easy. How often in your relationships do you find yourself saying something you don’t mean, feel isolated, ignored or misunderstood, long for the perfect partnership, or take your loved one for granted? It doesn’t have to be this way. “Love” and “attachment” are often confused, creating conflict in our relationships, particularly the most intimate ones. Is our “love” for someone unconditional and mostly focused on their happiness? Or is the love touched with our needs and expectations, how it reflects on us, etc.? If we can lessen attachment, grasping, and control and more fully appreciate all the goodness in our lives, experiences of genuine love and freedom organically arise.
Please notice: The teacher is onsite at Maitreya Inst., Netherlands, and Lhagsam is the co-host of the event.
