I’m Alright With A Slow Burn

No, I’m actually not. But I’ve had to be.

A slow burn sucked. The slow burn was the seemingly never-ending “only way out is through” journey of self-mastery that my husband and I signed up for before we came to this planet.

When we meet our divine kingdom spouse, there is an integration. This integration begins long before we meet our partner, even taking a lifetime. In the tale of Shiva and Shakti, Shakti had dreams of Shiva as a child. She was not ready to be with him until she awakened him with her fullest, authentic self. When Shiva awakens and the couple is reunited after lifetimes apart, they embrace in silence because the integration is so strong that there are no words.

Integration is initiation. Your kingdom spouse will drive you to initiate yourself to become your fullest self for them. Once you meet the correct person, the initiations will jump start, they will speed up, and start increasing. You probably will have to go through some initiations alone.

There is a lot of chatter about chemistry and the time it takes to fall in love, as if there is one equation we all could follow. Lust versus love. If you take all the modern podcast advice and then combine that with eons of human history, the data would support that successful relationships have a slow burn. Even if you are immediately married and in love with each other, the slow unfolding is what keeps the spark alive.
