Human Relationships

As an extreme extrovert, I spent a good portion of my early adult life trying to be okay with time spent alone. I remember weeping uncontrollably the first night I had alone when I arrived at my university dorms. I had to be stimulated all the time, with people, music and activities or I would feel very uncomfortable and quiet often, sorry for myself.

In my mid twenties, as I moved into introspection, self enquiry and spirituality, I understood the importance of solitude. I began to enjoy time spent reflecting, meditating and contemplating life so much that I withdrew more and more, finding ease and joy in time spent alone.

I went from one extreme to the other recognizing how much easier it is to just be with my own company creating my own theories, realities and beliefs rather than deal with dramas that come with relationships regardless of their nature.

Then I hit a plateau, there was very little I could learn from myself. I knew I had to open up and engage more in order to grow. Some human relationships continue to challenge me in many ways and yet I realize now that without a human interaction, it is difficult to measure where you stand in life and what you need to work on in yourself.

There is no way to practice spirituality on your own all the time. Doing so might create a very stable and comfortable state of being so long we are alone (anyone moving to the Himalayas soon?) and yet we find ourselves challenged as soon as we engage with another person. Yes, time spent alone is still a very important part of any spiritual practice. Yet if we do not find another person that will act as a mirror, annoying us, challenging us, driving us mad, then we will never know if our knowledge is wisdom or mere theory.

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.

Metta Always,
Weam

    Weam is the founder of Namaste. She had started a very deep and intense spiritual journey at a young age having refused to continue to suffer with the common challenges of her generation: depression, anxiety and being lost. She insisted that there must be more to life than the constant rat race she was in

    Since delivering her baby in 2007, Weam has been hooked on yoga. Seeing how it transformed her body, and mind, she started practicing regularly fascinated by the way yoga got her to look at her mind and body in broader and more creative ways. Yoga stretched her body and mind beyond her comfort zone and created more space for her within.

    Taking her yoga practice further Weam got certified as a yoga teacher (RYT) and now truly believes that yoga is for everyone . She finds great joys taking people to their own edges to allow for growth and to help individuals achieve their goals whilst respecting their bodies and its limitations.

    Being fascinated by the human mind and body, Weam came across Reiki. The Reiki meditations transformed her emotional and mental state in ways she had not thought possible. Feeling that freedom from the prison of her own mind she decided to dedicate her life to help others find the tools right for their own spiritual growth and inner peace and so Namaste was born.
