Why I choose to only date men who meditate.

Meditation is an advanced tool to practice "scalpel self dissection" (Autobiography of a Yogi. Yogananda. 1920. 26.) You can learn to listen to yourself. Your biological activities that happen faster than the speed of light with more chemical reactions than all of the trillions of stars in the galaxy. It is a way in which we can connect with our higher selves. During meditation we can experience altered states of consciousness, altered brain waves, bodily harmony, high vibrations, restful sleep, amongst other cosmic benefits. What is evident to the human eye about an individual who meditates? If someone exercises you can tell by their body that they work out. If someone eats healthy you can tell by their skin, hair and nails. When people are overworked or stressed you have an idea of how this individual spends their time. How does meditation show up to the naked eye? Does it "take one to know one"? What do people that meditate bring to the community around them? How does meditation make itself known at home, work, church, libraries, parties and anywhere in the community? There is a slowness to the movements of their head. You can see that in the eyes and smile there is a richness there that can satisfy human nature to gaze at the beauty of another. They usually will carry only what they need, keys and a short stack of cards tucked away loosely in their pocket. You cannot startle someone who meditates. Their stride is straight and purposeful. You might see them closing their eyes in front of the sun with their palms up in reception of energy. There is something about when the head moves slowly, the ears, shoulders, hips and ankles all move in unison. Dating someone who meditates is a life-slowing experience. Sex is slow and yet exhilarating with the man who meditates. He has deep purpose to fulfill a cosmic love that knows no end. The closeness and richness of vitality fills me with strength. We have sex about 5 times a month, once a week, it lasts about 2 hours and my body is vibrating for days after. There is simply no reason to have sex every day because we use this time to meditate deeply together. This relationship is sustainable only until I want to have children, in which case I may have to leave him because he believes that there are already enough children on this planet. This is a beautiful mentality but I have plans to experience conception, childbirth and showing my community that raising a child can be a grounded, holistic experience. If this relationship does not work out I will without a doubt choose someone who engages the cosmos with meditation. For all the women and men out there, meditation can enhance your presence and vitality in this world. Give yourself to the person that meditates, you will evolve.
