EVERYONE IS YOUR TEACHER IN WHAT IT MEANS TO LOVE - a podcast by Brenda Shoshanna, Phd

No matter how much we practice, once we get up from the cushion, or any other practice we do, we encounter one person after another, one relationship after the next. Some are affirming and joyous, others may cause upset or difficulty.  All of these relationships are simply extensions of our practice. Each person we meet, whoever they are, is our teacher in what it means to love. Not only are they our teacher, these encounters, are here to show us the truth about what love really is.  Naturally, when we are in pain or upset, we automatically blame on the other, find something wrong with them. But as we view relationships as spiritual practice, we soon realize that no one can hurt us, it is our responses to them, our perceptions and expectations of them that are causing the pain. Come listen to the podcast and find out more.
