This is a big subject and it’s often “charged” for people. Only you can decide what is right for your situation. Honestly, this subject is intimidating for me to write about. Working directly with a couple or an individual is much different than writing for a group.
I’m going to start off by trying to answer some questions recently posted in comments that were in response to my post called “Stop Negative Thoughts.” Let’s see where that takes us.
How do you remain positive if your partner/spouse/significant other is not walking the same path?
As we mature spiritually our ability to accept others as they are actually grows. If lack of acceptance is the issue, I think we must look to ourselves for the answer.
It helps to have some clarity about what this relationship means to you, what you desire it to be. (a whole new subject? Comments are welcome)
Can you love your partner as they are? If your life has taken a new direction it can be frightening for them. We don’t often grow at the same pace or in the same way. Each person has his/her own karma and it’s important to respect that. One way to love another is to commit to seek and find the best in them. In my opinion, once we have committed to a life partnership it’s our duty to support the highest in the other, even when it’s very hard to locate! Just because you are changing, does this require your partner to change also?
More coming soon.
Turiya…your last paragraph was so “right on”…I loved it all!
“One way to love another is to commit to seek and find the best in them.” That statement of yours is so true. I try to remind myself to do that not only with my husband but with others too…to see the good in them and put my energy into that part of them. It always results in really positive feelings and gets away from all that “judgmental stuff.”
ALSO, THE RAJA CLASS WAS GREAT TODAY! Peace…Mary

this is a tough topic for me right now & I’m pulling from your strength Turiya. I’m single trying to locate my highest soul mate through meditation, about who he is, what he looks like, how he worships, and how deep his spirit goes. I see who he is in meditation & I have my vision board list by my tea kettle so I can think of him when I pour tea. (curious why this is the spot I chose but who knows) More profound to me is what are his hot button topics. What makes a partner show their ugly side is harder than finding his best side because the hot topics are where the ego’s show themselves. This is where my negative side bounces back into life.
