The Fours stages of love with jai gopal & Jamila
Jamila and I recently taught a workshop on this rare, little known yogic teaching on the Four Stages of Love. Without knowing the stages and how the energy flows in a relationship, most are doomed to fail one way or another. We decided to sit down and rehash these teachings from the workshop on an episode of The One Flow Podcast
THE FOUR STAGES OF LOVE:
(1) infatuation (“hysteria on contact”)
(2) developing communication and establishing a relational frequency
(3) The purification stage, where masks and projected personas fall away. Partners must determine the fixed energetic polarity of “lover and beloved” (giver/receiver or projective/receptive), likened to yin/yang- the polarity of opposites that complete the whole.
(4) Merger— described as “one soul in two bodies,” An actual energetic change which happens after the first three stages where the neurons of the brain actually change and energy fields/arc lines (halos) merge.
Love is beyond gender. Love has no genders. The energy flow goes from giver to receiver and it doesn’t matter if the giver is a male or female. Same goes for the receiver. The importance of self-love and daily meditation/yoga/mantra practice can not be understated.
