“A soulmate is the one person whose love is powerful enough to motivate you to meet your soul, to do the emotional work of self-discovery, of awakening.” ~ Kenny Loggins
“The Buddhists say if you meet somebody and your heart pounds, your hands shake, your knees go weak, that’s not the one. When you meet your ‘soulmate’ you’ll feel calm. No anxiety, no agitation.” ~ Monica Drake
Life is a series of constantly shifting cycles. When we resist change, we resist the natural flow of life and create unnecessary stress. Go with the flow you will be surprised where it leads.
This is a time to explore the new energy between you and another. It is not a moment for certainty but rather for discovery and curiosity. You don’t yet know if this will last forever, so allow yourself to explore who you are and what is reflected back at you. This relationship is meant to educate you about yourself. What do you need? What do you like or dislike? What values are important to you? You are in a critical phase of your relationship that is not to be dismissed or hurried.
Transformation occurs through acceptance. Once you accept the current situation it will automatically transform.
When it comes to your relationship with others, building trust and intimacy is a process. Practice leads to results, for repetition develops skills. Just as you engage in a dance with a partner, leading and following, stay present in the moment, listen to signals and cues and being clear about what you need and desire. Yes, toes will get stepped on here and there, but it is how you and your partner deal with the inevitable missteps that allow you to develop a closeness that can stand up to even the biggest challenges. Practice and soon it will be second nature to express yourself in relationships in ways that reflect your highest aspirations for how you want to show up for others and what you want to experience. Cultivate love through practicing being loving.
“Problems in relationship occur because each person is concentrating on what is missing in the other person.” ~ Wayne Dyer
Stop trying to fix relationships that you believe are broken. Recognize that things are exactly as they need to be in the moment, and acknowledge the inherent beauty in that. When you understand this you will be able to bring about the change you want. Do not engage in gossip about the darkness and flaws of others. Be careful not to be seduced by the superficial beauty of a project or relationship you are dealing with, unless you are willing to pay a price for it later.
Love is not always about agreeing just for the sake of it. A great relationship is one that both supports and challenges.
Now is the time to address the cracks in the foundation of your life. Perhaps your values have changed and it is time to strengthen your convictions and let go of the things that no longer serve the vision you have for your life. Or perhaps you chose to ignore the signs that a situation or agreement you have entered into is not right for you. Now is the time for rigorous honesty. You are called to renovate and u[grade your consciousness. Your Higher mind has a spectacular blueprint for your life and that includes a relationship that supports you and challenges you. It includes a relationship that encourages you to grow and expand your knowledge and be supported and challenged. Don’t be afraid to replace what’s not working because you deserve a great relationship.
