I have been working with a Guru trying to understand the whole Tantra thing deeper. The one conversation we had really got me thinking and I thought I would share :) He spoke about relationships and how they are about energy exchange. It is about giving and receiving energy.
A very interesting exercise he asked me to do which I strongly suggest you all try is the following. Take a page and divide it into 2 sides. One side is about what you want to give to a partner and the other side is about what you want to receive from a partner. You probably only really want to take note when you do this for the 3rd time.
What has been fascinating for me through this process is understanding what you truly want to give someone else when you with them. We tend to build walls to protect ourselves and it puts us in a position to keep on taking from someone. Also, the less we know about who we are and what makes us happy, how can we know what we are able to give. I mean is it not the safest place to learn than with yourself? How to give to yourself, how to nurture yourself, how to make you happy! If you can't try that with yourself, how would you be able to give to another.
What has been so profound to discover, is that the more you get comfortable with giving, the more you get secure in what you about and what you offer that is wholesome and good. Go on, figure it out!
I guess I've always been a very giving person when it comes to my relationship. There isn't anything I won't do for my partner, willingly.
