Someone visiting my partner and myself recently has studied Buddhism, is very well studied in this field of development. One thing she commented on was the level of equanimity we have in our relationship and how we engage with each other. I took it as a compliment in relation to her point of focus looking into our relationship.
A week later at a meditation gathering, she was open about her difficulties with judgement and how she would get annoyed with herself when impatient with others. She looked at me and said. “How do you be so present without engaging your mind in moments where your challenged” “maybe you could show me how you have gained that?”. I said. “ it’s not something I can teach you”. It’s just something you do in every interaction. And then I said. And you do have to be willing to feel everything that you feel, without judgement.
