OUr take on "Falling and staying in love"

As part of our seven year anniversary we treated ourselves to a present: a course on relationships!

We thought, "well, we've been investing in all sorts of things that we love- good foods, books, trips to the jungle, a sacred living space, etc. but how about we start turning our attention and 'investments' to what, or rather, to whom we love the most, each other!" Of course by doing what we love we enrich our relationship but the study of the art of relating helps us put concepts and words to the ups and downs we experience as a couple. 

In this post we share notes and expand on session 3 of the Evolver Learning Lab's "Falling and Staying in Love", which was taught by Bryan Franklin and Jennifer Russell. 
There is a lot of information in this one and so some things may be unclear. We recommend focusing on whatever resonates with you and seeing how you can apply it to your partnership.

The lion who saw his face in the water

6/16/2015

An old tale, retold by Idris Shah:

There was once a lion who lived in a desert which was very windy; and because of this, the water in the holes from which he usually drank was never still, for the wind riffled the surface and never reflected anything. 
One day this lion wandered into a forest, where he hunted and played, until he felt rather tired and thirsty. Looking for water, he came across a pool of the coolest, most tempting, and most placid water that you could possibly imagine. Lions, like the other wild animals, can smell water, and the scent of this water was like ambrosia to him. 
So the lion approached the pool, and extended his neck to have a good drink. Suddenly, though, he saw his reflection- and imagined that it must be another lion.

On choice and Ayahuasca

Ayahuasca doesn’t tell a person what to do or what is necessarily better or worse for them- they decide that. This medicine can be approached as a powerful guide that lays out all the options and has one viscerally experience- activating the limbic system -what each choice would entail. The light and dark, positive and negative, Yin and Yang of both sides is felt. It is then up to the individual to move forward and stick with what is the healthiest choice, based on their capacity to discern what that is, at that moment in time. This step in a healthy direction will further the person’s evolution and they will gain an ever greater capacity to discern goodness, beauty and truth.

Prayer of the trees

Ye who pass by and would raise a hand against us,
heed well our prayer before you harm us.
We are the fuel for your fires on cold nights,
the friendly shade protecting you from the fierce sun;
and our fruits are refreshment to quench your thirst
 and cheer you as you journey onwards. 
We are the rafters of your roofs, boards of your tables and bodies of your boats, 
the seats of your stools and the boards of your beds.
We are the handles of your hoes, the gates of your homes, 
the wood of your cradles and the shells of your coffins. 
We are the saviors of your soil from loss by rain and wind,
and to your soil we give richness and life for the benefit of all mankind.
We are the bread of kindness and the flower of beauty.
You who pass us by listen to our prayer and harm us not.
