Scenario

When spiritual partnerships become guarded

My meditation partner and I have been sitting together for months but lately I've been experiencing things during practice that I don't know how to share with her and I can sense she's holding back too. We've created this unspoken agreement to keep our experiences private but the distance is making our practice feel mechanical.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The very intimacy of shared practice can awaken a protective privacy that paradoxically isolates us from the connection we seek.
