How to Practice couple meditation2027678

Here is a simple exercise to help you learn to practice couple meditation.

Sit cross-legged facing your partner so that your knees are touching. Try as much as possible to keep your back straight during this meditation. This allows you to breath openly and it makes you more receptive to the flow of subtle energy within your body.

Place your hands on your knees. One of your palms should be facing up, with your partner’s palm facing down atop it. Your other palm should be facing down, atop the upward facing palm of your partner.

Breathe. Allow your breath to flow naturally. You’ll likely notice after a few moments that your breathing has come into a alignment. This is very good thing. This brings the two of you to a place of receptivity.

An important part of couple meditation is learning to simply be together. Don’t try to force anything, simply be. As the two of you allow for these moments of quiet stillness, you’ll notice an increase in compassion and an increase in presence in your relationship.

Try this couple meditation with your partner today. Be patient with it. Try it for five or ten minutes and see where it takes you. As you become more advanced with couple meditation, you’ll be able to begin bringing your awareness to different parts of your experience.

When you are new to couple meditation, simply breathe. Allow your breath to carry you and your partner. Don’t try to change anything. Simply be with what is present.
