I like the part about intimacy and how an openness to connection must be deliberate in moments that are boring in a relationship, or uncomfortable in order to see the relationship in a better light. yoga and breathing has helped me with this.
As an alcoholic whose partner gave up because my efforts were inconsistent and because i lied out of fear while i continued to make efforts to stop drinking, this video makes me feel incapable of being loved. If you carried it through to include a more nuanced approach toward people who suffer from addiction and those who love them, I’d have felt more included.
I love. I love this presentation, which Is very stimulating, and mind-blowing (literally, in terms of dusting away universal cobwebs) in its thought-provokingness. As she says, it’s good for everybody also, not just people currently involved in love or un-love. Thank you! I also love other things, and feel I love the loving of them almost as much as the things themselves. Does that make sense? It’s so fun! ;+} And you know what? I think whoever or whatever created us ended up (so far) doing it lovingly, creating creatures that have gotten this far in turning pure survival into striving to be loved. And then, and then . . . by defining love’s basic qualities, becoming able to escape the idealized desperate craving of it and just enjoy it? Miraculous! Really: thanks so much, Susan, for offering the self-validation, and the unity. Those are cosmic good manners!
Susan, Many thanks for this special and creative way to think about and approach love relationships. Listening, it make a lot of sense. I look forward to working these teachings into my life and love.
