Medicinal Doses
Relationships are powerful medicine. The more potent the connection, the stronger the medicine.
Particularly when working deeply with the paradigm of relationship as a spiritual journey, having respect for the power of it’s medicine and your pace of integration is important. Sometimes three drops can heal your sight and ten drops can blind you. Sometimes one dose is enough, at others a regular regimen will best serve you.
Having the wisdom and discipline to discern the dose and regulate your connection with a beloved is a gift that usually comes with experience. Be aware that less is often more and space is a priceless gift to give, not feel guilty around.
Action: Have a conversation with your partner early on about the need to pace your connection in order to respect it. Be open to endings as a sign of healing, not of failure.
