REAL LOVING
“…by stating that it is when a couple falls out of love they may begin to really love I am also implying that real love does not have its roots in a feeling of love.

From Vrinda
“Satvatove was a super-cleanse. David and Marie create a space where it was okay indeed encouraged to just be myself. Such a relief to simply be accepted and encouraged no matter what was brewing inside me.

If we are closed down to such receiving, then we stifle the energy of the relationship. It is important that we continually receive. That is a part of personal growth. Receiving the gifts of others, in the form of affection, caring, challenge, etc., we fill ourselves up with “medicine”, and thereby we consistently are filled with love to give in our lives. With regard to giving, if we are giving from the right place, we will be inspired. If we find our giving efforts give rise to resentment, tiredness, feeing drained, then probably are giving is mixed with a taking consciousness …

“Marie! Loved the energy you brought to the course! I was surprised what came up for me today, and last night, and I am interested in what will come from the introspection it inspires!…”
