Meditation Can Lead to a Better Relationship

Human relationships are transient and ever changing. A person, who was once close and loved with our heart at some time, suddenly becomes an object of hatred and triggers an incredible pain. We see these phenomena everywhere whether at office with our friends and colleagues or at home with spouse children and relatives. It is hard for us to try to untangle the process of what took place and understand as to why and where the conflict began. A relationship that was built on so much warmth understanding and compassion suddenly breaks down.

What causes these incredible breaches in relationships? What are the causes of broken relationships?

Some of the causes 

Main Causes

• Lack of compassion and tolerance
• Expectations and disappointments

Other Causes

• Lack of communication leading to misunderstanding
• Lack of trust leading to arguments
• Lack of spending time together leading to losing touch with each other
• Dissatisfaction with meeting personal needs/desires
• Lack of money leading to losing faith
• Lack of common interests leading to insufficient bondage (nothing to talk about or share together)
• Lack of respect often leading to wife battering or abuse

The list is endless, and one can go on forever. An analysis of some of the causes given above one would make us to ponder as to what is it that brings about a change in our outlook to these points, especially when the person in question is the same who we once doted upon!

It takes two to make a relationship, so is we chose a person of our liking how the relationship can change over the period. One of the main factors is the way we lead a stressful life.

The daily stress of our lives as a telling effect on our bodies and changes the delicate chemical balance of the cells in the various organs of our body leading to hormonal imbalances that, besides having effect on our physical health, also create a change in our outlook as well as tolerance levels.

The effect on each person is different but what we need to understand is that a person or a situation never creates it. It is we who ourselves create the stress within ourselves by our reactions and attitudes and the main reason is the clutter that we allow in our mind to accumulate. This causes anxiety, anger, dissatisfaction, intolerance, Etc. This needs to be changed.

When we do not effectively handle stress, it is definitely bound to interfere with our relationships. Even if it has nothing to do with the relationship directly, it causes tension that reduces confidence levels and it becomes harder to communicate to people who matter. It distracts, so people we are involved with feel like we are not listening to them. It also prevents from focusing or interacting with the other person.
