The Core of Love and Joy with Jett Psaris

We have a deep longing to experience the essential core of who we are - the essence of ourself that we glimpse when we fall in love. How do we work through the defenses that obstruct that core of love and joy? Jett Psaris suggests cultivating 'Butterfly Consciousness.'

Jett Psaris describes "Undefended Love" as knowing oneself and another simultaneously without obstruction. When we fall in love we glimpse the essence of ourself and experience the inner core of our being as goodness, joy, love and peace. “Intimacy is a spiritual practice,” she tells us, “love is one of the most potent ways for our journey to be initiated.” Life gives us a choice. Do we defend against and reject our experience - or - do we accept our vulnerability and let it be the source of guidance? She believes sustained and evolving intimacy is possible. We can recognize that love is the universal solvent to growing who we are: in our ability to care for one another, and our ability to be who we glimpsed when we fell in love.
