Message us with your thoughts, burning questions, or reflections, we’d love to hear from you."You don't need a relationship, because there is no relationship. You're one with everything." That's Dr Gayatri Anderson, quietly dismantling almost everything we're taught about love.We're raised to believe love is an emotion that lives between two people, that you need someone else to feel it. Gayatri spent years, and a PhD, exploring a bolder possibility: that unconditional love is a state of consciousness a human being can enter, with no object and no cause. Love for no reason.This isn't a floaty conversation. Gayatri sits at the meeting point of psychology, neuroscience and deep spiritual practice, having grown up between a materialist household and a mystical one. She explains what the brain does in these states, why we can't stay in them for long, and why grief and heartbreak can become unexpected doorways into the very love we think we've lost. She also guides us, and you, through a simple breathing practice you can do at home.If love has ever felt like something you must earn, chase or hold onto, this offers a far more spacious possibility.In this episode:Why unconditional love may be a state of being, not a relationshipWhat the brain actually does when the sense of separation dissolvesWhy the state never stays, and why that's by designHow heartbreak and loss can open the deepest love of allA simple guided practice to begin, in Gayatri's own wordsAbout Dr Gayatri Anderson Dr Gayatri Anderson works at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience and spirituality.
