Why Do We Have Relationships?


Why Do We Have Relationships?

Relationships, whether as expansive as our connection to each and every person on this planet, or the most intimate of our personal relationships, offer a key way in which we learn our spiritual life lessons.  Self validation, compassion, patience, trust, self worth; you name it, whatever we have signed up to learn this lifetime, we unconsciously use relationships to explore, heal and grow.

Relationships become fascinating when we consider “what is it that I am trying to learn or heal by connecting with this person?”  When we begin to see relationships in this context we start to take responsibility for what is going on in our relationship and we come to recognize that we always have a choice to engage or disengage from energy and dynamics.

As you come to understand just what it is that you are working on whether with an individual or with a group you can empower yourself to do your work without the drama that often accompanies our relationships. Then our relationships become effortless, joyful and enjoyable.  You will no longer need someone else to trigger or activate areas within yourself in order to learn and heal.
