In today's episode, I challenge the traditional notion of "falling in love" as a passive experience. I talk about how our past collection of subconscious thoughts, values, and repeated experiences create the illusion of "falling" love.
It could be falling in love with a potential spouse to feeling affection for a pet or even a pair of cozy socks.
I also focus on the journey of maintaining long-term love and passion. Learn how to transition from the initial spark of desire to establishing enduring emotional connections fortified by peace, joy, and compassion.
Discover how deliberate thoughts and actions will sustain desire and affection.
