LET A FEELING CRACK YOU OPEN


You do not heal feelings, you see,
they heal you, when you allow them
to guide you back
to your original Wholeness,
your loving nature,...
your breath,
your place on this Earth.

LET A FEELING CRACK YOU OPEN
Here's the bad news:
You can't get 'over' a feeling.
You can't get 'past' it....
You can't release it.
You can't let go of it.
You can't transform or transmute it.
You can't even heal it.

All these ideas come from the mind,
not the body, not the Heart.
They are all subtle forms of violence,
sneaky ways of saying 'no' to a feeling,
aiming for its disappearance,
its death.
We learn to let go of 'letting go'.
We stop trying to release.
We end the exhausting effort to heal.
Instead, we are present.
We offer a feeling our simple presence.
Our non-resistant attention.
Our love.
Here's the good news:
In this field of presence
the feeling is no longer a problem,
an enemy, an aberration, a stain,
a block to freedom.
It is no longer 'something wrong'.
It is no longer 'negative'.
It is no longer a threat.
It is no longer an unwanted child.
You are now its guardian, its protector,
its loving parent, its Home.
And held lightly, in a still space of allowing,
the feeling stays for a while, or moves on,
or returns,
or never returns,
but either way,
you are healed from the need
to find healing elsewhere.
You do not heal feelings, you see,
they heal you, when you allow them
to guide you back
to your original Wholeness,
your loving nature,
your breath,
your place on this Earth.

Needed to read this tonight, thanks Andy!

Any time tensions rise in an interaction with another, send them kindness and love. Watch the dynamic shift. You might have to step away for a bit. BE response able, not reactive.www.reverenceforlifeuniversity.com

THE MORE ONE JUDGES,


Libra and Aquarius Lovers


I AM AQUARIUS, MY LOVER IS LIBRA (or vice-versa)

This is a sassy, exciting pairing of two similar souls, sure to be a hit. You both enjoy lots of social activity, and neither would expect the other to wait at home in the traditional sense. In fact, ordering dinner in several times a week will be the only way to handle the busy schedule you both lead! Your coupling is thoroughly modern.
But even the best relationship demands that the partners accommodate each other. In your case, be mindful that Libras care about social acceptance, while you don’t give a fig about it. Ruled by idiosyncratic Uranus, Aquarius’ job in life is to press forward and to make all kinds of new discoveries. In doing so, you will run up against the Establishment at times. This frightens Libra, for thisVenus-ruled sign’s job is to bring opposing forces together. They want to be popular and will go out of their way to bring harmony to relationships. You can see how your roles differ; in many ways, Aquarius is a sign of extremes. Libra’s friends are likely to be in the arts, yours in the sciences; nevertheless, your friends mix well. And Libras entertain beautifully, so your parties would be much-talked-about affairs!
Libras like to be married, but Aquarius like space and freedom; commitment doesn’t come quickly or easily. Sexually, you link up in a heavenly way, with plenty of fun, wit and experimentation. You will enjoy Libra’s use of perfume or cologne (female or male, this sign is a fragrance wizard) and their refined, cultured personal style. Libra takes good care of their physical appearance well into old age. Your Libra will enjoy your quixotic and playful approach to sex.
Your Libra is the romantic of the two of you, so let him or her take the lead for some starlit evenings. Physically, you are on the same plane, but you aren’t as emotional as a Scorpio, a Pisces, or a Cancer. However, your Sun sign lights up Libra’s house of true love, so the bond remains very strong here, even though to the outside world you may appear to have a cool, detached, and analytical relationship. Your Libra lights up your house of deep philosophical thought and distant travel.
This match gets a four-star rating. If things go wrong, it isn’t because you aren’t suited to one another. Both of you are air signs — like-elements get along great together. In your case, you both know how to communicate clearly, objectively, and you share an overriding quest for truth. You will have a rich, busy, and noisy life together. Sounds like fun!


TRUE LOVE

If we truly love
ourselves,
we would never ...
harm another.

Mature or immature LOVE?

 "Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'" - Erich Fromm Warren

Happiness is to appreciate what you have; unhappiness is to dwell on what you don't have.

Thank you. I'm allowing for our love to be a growing, changing, happy, sometimes angry but never resentful, journey toward a full and constant lightness of being. YES!
The small words of confidence are vitally important to us both as we get to learn intimacy with each other. I respected you for coming back to me with your reaction.......how else am I to learn to be with you comfortably.
YES! (I AM GOING TO START A NEW "BLOG" FOR JUST ME AND YOU!

Love, that is strength:

and gives strength: that is the highest LOVE. BUDDHA

Love, without speaking and thinking "I",

knowing that so-called "I" is a mere delusion.  Buddha

Love, without a desire to possess,

knowing well that in the ultimate sense there is no possession and no possessor: this is the highest LOVE!

                                                                                                                         Buddha

LOVE IS A GUIDE AND NOT A JAILOR.

knowing well that in the ultimate sense there is no possession and no possessor: this is the highest LOVE!

BECOMING MORE CONSCIOUS IN A RELATIONSHIP

Moving beyond romanticism



Moving Beyond Romanticism Posted July 26, 2016 As you become more conscious in a relationship, you can no longer milk it for its romanticism, because it is more interesting than that. It really is, but people keep wanting to romanticize their lives all the time. It’s…

Blessings of Abundance

TOGETHER, WE ARE MANIFESTING
A STEADY FLOW OF BLESSINGS TO ENRICH OUR LIVES. 
 
Image may contain: flower and text
 
 

I agree that this is what we are doing but is it enough. How do I deal with the vulnerability that is now present as I face growing older. My life has been one of reckless abandon and wonderful adventures. Now it seems, I am to be fearful of poverty. I stare at the word "Manifesting" for a long moment, and another long moment, willing it to morph into something tangible like a dog that I can get up and feed, or a child that I can put to bed, or a tea kettle I can turn off.
But it won't do that and so
I will continue to believe in my power to change.
I will continue to change my fear into self-love.
I will continue to move forward into a new way of being,
And I will continue to spread love and Joy.

Goodnight and Sweet Dreams

I would rather be happy than right.

Brilliant!!!!!
"(B)eing right is actually a tight little box that is very constraining and not much fun to live in." ~Ram Dass

In defenselessness, my safety lies.

One of the best things I learned in the ACIM. If I can stay defenseless while being attacked, then the attacker is more likely to give up attack. This principle is used in some types of martial arts like Aikido and Tai Chi. The one attacked uses the energy of the attacker to throw them off, and then walks away if possible.
In our relationships, if there is no striking back, then peace is more quickly restored. It takes two to fight. Peace, Ron Alexander

Relationship non-defensiveness...


thank you for all you do.jpg

You are my first lover who did not get defensive when I was upset at you, and that is a big deal to me.
