Experiencing Freedom From Hurt In Relationships (Part 1)

While coming into different relationships in different spheres of life, sometimes when we allow another soul access to our inner world, we feel understood. Such a soul, in return, continues in the journey towards knowing us better. This is a beautiful start to building a meaningful soul connection and the foundation for beautiful future experiences in life. Our most treasured relationships are of great importance to us but if they carry attachment, it makes the souls in such connection, both a source of great happiness and deep sadness at the same time, for each other. Such relationships can bring us great joy, and they can also hurt us deeply at times.

A conscious acceptance created by us internally, at all times, can help us in understanding that love, care and closeness, with attachment, are very closely connected with hurt. There may be situations where the creation of hurt was intended, but mostly, they are not. Love with any human being, may it be your parent, your spouse or your child is not an act, but a space in which we move into. When one’s identification of self as myself in the physical sense falls, a deep experience of love, without attachment, can happen within us. We need to remember that this feeling is unconditional or selfless in any relationship and is immensely and permanently joyful for both people because of that. Also, realizing that the relationship is not conditional or self-centered, can help us to approach others in a relaxed manner with sincerity, be prepared to lose them and be less attached to them, while still remain loving and nice to them.
