Zen and the art of Falling in Love

Zen and the Art of Falling in Love is really one of the most interesting and informative books/podcast I've seen in a really long time. Imagine if you will the sheer meaning of this peaceful almost astral experience you could potentially have with your mate! Are we all not searching for the "connection" or that "soulmate experience"....are we not?!

What does the word "love" mean...?....honestly think about that. You want this word to mean so very much but in all honesty I really think we don't have one damn clue what this word means and/or the massive amounts of problems and issues and potential joy this word can bring us. The word "love" can mean such beautiful things to someone. Love can be used as a curse or a lullaby. All in all the word love is really just a word. Love is a feeling.... a sense of fullness, a rush of chemicals to your heart to increase your pulse and quicken your breathing. Love is your thoughts being so consumed with your lover that all you can think about is that person. But what it really means is the feeling of comfort and safety.

When you watch the above hyperlink really pay attention to the "monkey mind" portion of the podcast. How many times has this thinking affected your happiness and security!? The monkey mind has sabotaged a number of my relationships in the past and I refuse to let it become a focal point in my love life in the future.

All we want is to be loved and cared for in our lives. Why do we destroy that .....why!?
