Relationship

Compared to previous generations, we are living in times of rapid change.  The intensity of contemporary living brings new challenges. Many people are reviewing their relationship situation at the moment. Even if your situation feels stuck right now, it is wise not to make any impulsive decisions.  It helps to be willing to look more closely at what is really happening rather than just what seems to be happening. 

Everyone experiences challenges in relationship.  The first step is to have a clear intention to address what is happening. Intention is always important. 

Have you ever discussed with each other what you want your relationship to be about?  In a conscious relationship, there is an intention to grow and to support each other to grow. When 'stuff' comes up, it can even be welcomed because now you can see it. It's no longer hidden. And you can use it for the opportunity that it is - to dissolve old patterns and grow in love and awareness. 

When there are difficulties in relationship, the focus can tend to be more on the other's behaviour. Although their behaviour is certainly taken into account, in order for positive changes to happen, you will be encouraged to bring still more focus to what is going on in you - your own feelings, thoughts and behaviour. Sometimes we get caught in wanting 'to be right' rather than opening to a solution and moving forward. If, after exploration, it feels right to split up, it can happen with more awareness and more grace and dignity. 

Exploring relationship supports you to gain clarity, act consciously and enjoy new ways of relating. You can identify not only what hinders but also what helps love to flow - qualities such as respect, trust, openness, honest communication and ultimately presence.
