Heart Healers In our culture theres a basic assumption that being in love means we are supposed to walk off into the sunset together. The truth is that two people can be close, love each other deeply and romantically, and not be suited to have a long-term relationship. In fact, having a soul-mate connection is not necessarily a good platform for a permanent relationship. If you accept the idea of karma, you can view that strong sense of connection as a sign that you share an intense karma from the past. The feeling of being soul mates can actually be the karmas drawing the two of you together so that youll work out some unfinished business or help each other in some specific but limited way. Paradoxically, being willing to accept the fact that you may not be a couple is the first step toward keeping the love while letting go of the suffering. There may still be pain-loss and endings are painful. By accepting the loss, however, you open the door for a different kind of flowering, between either you and this person or you and someone else. So, heres a suggestion: Every time you feel the love and pain of the relationship, formally offer it up to the universe or to God. Do this over and over, and youll begin to notice that your love is being freed of its clinging, possessive quality and becoming more a tender feeling. Yoga Journal
