Why do people struggle so hard to make relationships work?
Part of the reason is because we’re entering into relationships for the wrong reasons.
People find themselves unsatisfied in love because they lack a true purpose for being in it.
Moving toward what I like to callconscious relationships.
What is a conscious relationship?
Shared growth as a couple.
Collective growth that makes the world a better place.
As of now, most people get into relationships to satisfy their own personal needs.
But when two people come together with theintentionof growth, the relationship strives towards something much greater than gratification.
Deep satisfaction and long-term fulfillment arise as a result.
Qualities of a conscious relationship.
The conscious couple is not attached to the outcome of the relationship growth comes first.
Not being attached to the outcome of the relationship does not mean you dont care what happens.
It also doesnt mean that you dont have fantasies about how the relationship will turn out.
The reality is, were here to grow.
Physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
When growth stops, we automatically feel like somethings gonewrong in the relationship.
Without growth, we arent fulfilling our souls purpose.
Unfortunately, relationships today tend to stifle growth more than enhance it.
This is one of the main reasons were failing at romantic love.
But the unfortunate truth is:weve caged ourselves.
Each person in the relationship is committed to owning their shit.
What we fail to see in this situation is that these shitty feelings stem from ourownfaulty patterning!
These issues are not because of our partners; theyre because of our ownattachment issues.
Dysfunctional patterns will dissolve, but only when we take responsibility for them, first.
All feelings are welcome, and no internal process is condemned.
In a conscious relationship, theres room to feel anything.
Not only that, theres room to express those feelings and fantasies to your partner.
This is edgy territory… its not easy to do.
You may not like what you hear; in fact, it may trigger the hell out of you.
But youre willing to be triggered if it means your partner can be authentic.
This stifles the love out of our connections.
This leads to feeling known, seen and truly understood a combination that will automatically enhance your love.
The relationship is a place to practice love.
Love, ultimately, is a practice.
A practice of acceptance, being present, forgiveness, and stretching your heart into vulnerable territories.
Sometimes we treat love like its a destination.
In my mind, this is missing the whole point of love.
Love is a journey and an exploration.
The conscious couple is fiercely committed to being the embodiment of love.
