Our relationship is a great conduit to our inner world, core self and inner energy. Through our relationship we can learn about, heal, stretch, grow, and transcend ourselves! What a magnificent gift to ourselves, our partner, and the world!!
Of course we can get the most benefit out of this union if we are aware, mindful, and nurturing of our partnership, each other and ourselves. The union with our partner creates a possible context for safety and fertile ground for us to flourish individually and as a team. In relationship we can create the proper structure to support this development and encourage our authentic selves to come out and shower the world with our talents and uniqueness.
Our authentic self can be invited to come out and play when we can be still and open; when we don’t mire our being with noise, doing, and reactivity. When our environment and relationship are relaxed and safe, our defenses go down and we can show up to our relationship and our life.
We can tap into our core and authenticity and bring them forth. When both partners are able to accomplish this and integrate their gifts, amazing things can happen. They can co-create a joint vision and a phenomenal life!
