Couples Meditation
Don’t worry; it’s not nearly as bad or weird as you think it might be.
Yesterday I talked about your significant other being under stress and what you can do to help your partner when s/he is stressed. (Those are also things you can do for yourself too, by the way, just in case you didn’t think of that.)
As you may have guessed by the title of this post, one thing I didn’t mention yesterday and am going to talk about today is meditating with your partner.
Despite what some people say, meditation isn’t all about saying “ooohm�, sitting cross-legged, and wearing as little clothing as possible. (Note: Meditate naked if you want. Whatever works for you and your partner.) You can meditate lying down, standing up, or even on your hands and knees if you want. The key is being comfortable.
You can also have music – calm music, though – candles, a dark or light room. Honestly, meditation is about creating an environment that will bring you peace and calm. This can be a little glitch in couples’ meditation, but you both can work something out.
Set a time for you and your partner to go to a place you won’t be interrupted (if possible) and get in comfortable positions. Take some time to do some deep breathing. Count from one to six as you breathe in and one to six as you breathe out.
Being together in silence can tell a lot about your relationship. It can either calm you both down and give you some together time, or it can make you uncomfortable. If it makes you uncomfortable, you two might need to talk about the possible reasons why.
Hopefully, though, it will a peaceful time for you both to calm down and simply be together without the distractions of the world.
