On Relationships

Everything is a relationship.

The nature of these relationships is based on our approach to and understanding of ourselves and the energies at play in our lives.

Perspective, empowerment, emotion, balance and change (or lack of these things) are at play in all relationships.  From money and career to love and friendship, these energies are at play, either solidifying or cracking the foundation of our interactions.

We all think and act from within our own perspective of any given relationship.  It is who we are!  It is the sum of our experiences and the foundation of the personality.  But is the personality who we actually are?  Or is it, rather, the mask we wear as we uncover the deeper secrets of ourselves as we journey through this physical experience.  The personality can change.  As we are exposed to different cultures, ideas, experiences and people, we incorporate these things into ourselves.  We take on the characteristics with which we identify, and expand our awareness of the world.

Every person seeks to be empowered.  Empowerment brings heightened spiritual and physical awareness, passion for life and joy!  True empowerment provides us with the grace to be compassionate towards others, accepting each individual where they are in their own growth and discovery process and granting ourselves the same courtesy.

When we are connected to our empowerment, there is no inclination or need to pass judgment on our relationships or the players therein.  We can observe, note and step back to view the bigger picture, directing our attention on what we can do to make things better.

As human beings we are often influenced by our emotions and the emotions of others.  In person-to-person relationships, this is an obvious observation.  We desire connection; we want to be “right;” we seek approval; we require justice; we need to be heard; we allow our personal emotional attachments to influence how we react and interact within our relationships.

All reactive responses are based in our fears, our lack of balance within and understanding of the energies at play in our lives:  the elements, relationship mirrors, astrology, physical health, sense of security and more.

When in balance with these things, we are able to see multiple perspectives broadening our vision to take in the bigger picture.  Healthy communication comes not out of what we are feeling, but instead, comes from a desire to gain understanding, support the Light and facilitate the change in energy that brings all parties to a place of greater balance and flow.

In our relationships to more “inanimate” things, the correlation is still the same.  If we are afraid of abundance or having a healthy relationship, how can we possibly connect to the energy to create these things?  Again, we must take a step back and approach the relationship from a place of empowerment and strength, rather than fear.

Continuing to do things the way we have done them will only bring the same results over and over again.  We must be willing to make the changes necessary to support our growth and the relationships we desire!
