Relatie
Het levensthema Relatie is één van de 7 levensthema's uit het werkboek 'Spirituele Leefwijze', thema’s die je diepgaand en ervaringsgewijs thuisbrengen in je bezielde menszijn via introspectie, bezinning, vriendschap en verandering, het luisteren naar je innerlijk en het zien en respecteren van het goede in alles wat er gebeurt en de rijke diversiteit van het leven.
In relatie staan is een natuurlijk gegeven in het leven, maar hoe open sta je in al die uitwisselingen met andere mensen en de gebeurtenissen die je leven vormen? Laat je je volledige bewustzijn meedoen in die uitwisseling of zorgt je voorzichtigheid ervoor dat je niet werkelijk kunt voelen waarmee je eigenlijk in relatie staat? Als je er te gericht mee bezig bent, vergeet je misschien de relatie met jezelf, het belangrijkste gebied waarmee je voelt wat de mensen en situaties die je ontmoet voor je betekenen. Via 12 oefeningen op het gebied van inzicht, meditatie, yoga, adembeleving, mantra. puja, healing, massage, tantra, aurabeleving, zielsbegeleiding en sacrale dans, open je je voor je innerlijk, zodat die openheid je kan begeleiden in je relaties met anderen, met situaties en met het leven zelf.

Anandajay over
Relationship – the value of connection
How deep can your relationship with your being, soul or self be?
Life is a constant invitation to form relationships — an open form of contact through which energy and attention flow back and forth between you and others. In this video, Anandajay discusses the importance of genuine connections. He demonstrates how we orient ourselves at various levels throughout the day, ranging from the immediate chemistry of sexuality and sensing someone's integrity to energetically feeling each other's aura. Therefore, relationships are a question of whether you dare to let yourself be influenced, and whether you are willing to truly let something else enter you.
However, the core of a fulfilling connection lies in the spiritual layer: contact from your heart. How deep can a relationship be? How intimate? How close? Anandajay explains that the heart harmonises all other layers of openness, giving you a centre amid the external interactions. Entering into a relationship from your heart is essential first and foremost for the relationship with yourself, because the greatest pain you can experience is abandoning your own heart. This video invites you to form connections not out of greed or need, but from the place of love within you.

Your spiritual heart and the four layers of existence
Do you find yourself longing for a connection with your inner self, your true self, and the essential aspects of your existence?
This meditation invites you to take a break from the superficialities and functionality of everyday life and connect with your inner self. In the initial stages, you will learn to engage with your brain and consciousness through your heart, which has a harmonising effect on your mind. By connecting with your soul through your heart, you will experience how this connection allows the love within you to blossom.
As you deepen your practice, you allow the peace and love from your heart to descend into your pelvis, connecting you with the source of your being and authenticity. The meditation then opens you up to a boundless exchange between your spiritual heart and the rest of the world, enabling you to experience the enveloping quality of wholeness. This is a moving process in which you will discover that the reality you experience in meditation is the underlying truth that remains present behind all functionality. You are invited to bring this depth back into your daily life, knowing that the source of love is always with you.
