051: Authentic Relating w/ Sophia Leone

If I've learned anything from silent retreats, it's that being alone, while it may appear challenging, is actually quite a simple experience. When I'm hanging out with "me", I always take care of myself exactly how I want. I always make the food I want, I rarely argue with myself and I'm always keen to do what "I" want to do. The challenge starts to come when we add more people to the mix, when we start relating to others. Ram Das says "If you think you're enlightened, go home and spend an evening with your family". Reality is much more challenging when we have to consider people outside of ourselves. This week I have Sophia Leone who is on this planet, dedicating her time and energy to helping us create smooth encounters with others. She does this through a template of authentic relating. Authentic relating is an incredibly well thought out platform that allows us to access our most authentic experience and to share them in a way that honors ourselves and others around us. It teaches us to welcome the world around us, and to offer consideration beyond ourselves. Built on mindfulness, authenticity and heartfelt transparency, authentic relating is a practice worth learning and inviting into our lives.thanks for listening all!sending love and blessings from baliSophia and Samcheck out authentic relating in your area at:http://authenticrelating.co/check out my other stuff at:www.divedeepwithsam.comSupport the show
