While the need to belong/relate is innate, engaging in a successful and happy relationship is learned. One’s understanding of relationships are programmed before the age of seven, and the average human is only conscious and aware 5% of the time. What this means is that 95% of the time you are responding and interacting from beliefs formed through your very early experiences. So if your early experiences involved witnessing ineffective ways of relating and codependency, chances are the relationships you choose will reflect these behaviors too. This is vital to connect with if you desire to have happy relationships. Bruce Lipton teaches us that LOVE is what keeps the conscious mind present - the portal to transforming old beliefs into new experiences of real intimacy and connection.
To be well in terms of relationships, begins with a fundamental understanding that all relationships are also a reflection of you. This understanding shifts one’s perspective to one of gratitude and awareness. Troubles in a relationships can act as a mirror for you to observe your own internal conflicts. This perspective provides new ways of relating and acceptance of the gift of present moment awareness. Relational wellbeing supports healthy, thriving relationships; partner, family, friends, coworkers and beyond. On a grander scale, you becomes aware of your entanglement to the Collective and you take on the responsibility of how your choices truly do affect the world. Thriving relationships are interdependent and require interaction, care, commitment, reciprocity and conscious communication.

Today I want to share a personal story about learning to receive. I hope my example demonstrates how an inability to receive may be the exact reason you cannot, or do not believe in your dreams. When I embarked on my healing journey, it became clear very quickly of the spiritual connection to dis- ease; including the loss of our dreams, or knowing why we are here. Another contributing factor is one's inability to receive.
I believe, it is in this place where true Presence is found. It is the little moments we take for granted. The space in-between is something of an anomaly itself, the more you pay attention to it the less it exists, which can result in wonderful witnessing.
Witnessing the moment allows for the sweetness to continue and spill over into the next moment and the next... This is why we must linger.
While technology is advancing, literally at lightning speed, our bodies have not evolved as quickly. So as we try to keep up with the bajillionth update on our iphones we are getting further and further away from listening to our bodies and inner selves. I don’t need to quote any statistics to illustrate the fact that our bodies’ are in a health crisis; with diseases on a steep incline from Alzheimer’s to Diabetes. It’s time we sloooowww down, listen to our bodies, and enjoy our families.
Impact is multidirectional and can be both passive and active. As you choose with the quality of love, you will be moved to act differently - with more care and reverence for yourself and others.
