You may already meditate alone — but did you know you can share this activity with your partner? If you want to expand your meditation horizons, enlisting the support of a loved one is a smart way to go. This activity has the strength to draw you closer to one another while bolstering the bond you already have. Within this guide, we will take a look at some of the dos and don’ts to practice when you get started.
Here’s what you need to know.
1. Do find a quiet space first
First things first, you need to find a space in which to practice. For example, you may choose a yoga studio, your bedroom, or any other quiet room in your home. Make sure that the area allows you to completely unwind and be real with your partner.
2. Don’t presume they know what to do
If you’ve been meditating for a while and your partner has not, don’t presume that they know how to get started. Meditation can be tricky for people who are new to it. That is perfectly okay — we each come to this journey in our own time and pace.
3. Do go through the instructions first
Before you consider getting started, you need to make sure that you choose a meditation and go through the instructions. It may be helpful to opt for a simple type of practice.
4. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes
You will make mistakes when you start meditating together. The key here is to be able to laugh them off and move forward. Don’t be too hard on either yourself or your partner when something goes wrong. Relax and keep moving forward as a couple.
5. Do get the atmosphere right
The atmosphere counts for a lot! When you’re meditating with a partner, you need to be as comfortable as possible. You may choose to light some incense in the room or even add some throws or blankets. Do whatever it is that makes you both feel calm here.
6. Don’t try anything too complexed
Don’t make the mistake of diving into the deep end. That is the last thing that you want to do. No, you need to make sure that you are taking things slow. Pick a meditation practice that is easy for both of you to learn. That way, you will find the whole thing straightforward.
7. Do support and inspire each other
Whenever you’re meditating with a partner, you need to support and inspire your partner. You two are in this together, and so you need to be each other’s anchor. Work with them to reach a meditative state. Once you are finished, be kind to each other and relax together.
The Takeaway
Meditating with your partner can be a fulfilling and game-changing activity. No matter where you are in your Kundalini Yoga journey, you will find that this is accessible to you. The two of you can create a closer bond with each other through the power of meditation. Take the first steps as a partnership and choose a practice that suits your lifestyle goals.
