As a spiritual counselor, I used to have clients come to me for counseling about their wish to leave their relationships. Sometimes it was a partner, a spouse, a friend or even a parent.
For whatever reason, they’d had “enough” of whatever behavior they didn’t wish to experience any more of. It’s totally understandable. I’ve felt that way myself. I’d bet that we all have.
One thing I’ve learned from my spiritual studies is that we’re all one. One life, one mind, one power, one presence. We’re united eternally and inextricably. And, that being the case, how do we end a relationship?
The answer is that we cannot. Since we’re eternal, infinite beings, forever one, how can we disconnect? We cannot.
What we can do, in this human lifetime, is we can decide not to connect in the world of form. Yes, we can do that. We can stop talking, and spending time together.
However, our relationship will continue. It can’t stop.
That being the case, why not do what we can to bring our relationship to the Light, to Love?
Instead of fantasizing about ending a relationship, let’s step into the willingness to heal our relationships. To do that we have to be willing to stop judging and to forgive ourselves for judging and for wishing for separation.
Yes, for the healing to occur, we must forgive ourselves.
We can’t choose separation and think that we won’t suffer.
That’s crazy thinking. Separation IS the very essence of suffering.
Instead of dreaming of separation and fantasizing that will end our upset, let’s keep it Real and remember that we have the power of God in our mind. Separation is an illusion. We can have Real Love instead.
Through our willingness to practice, compassion, patience, Love and kindness, we discover that we no longer need to wish for separation because relationship healing has occurred.
Let’s go for a healing every time and leave separation behind.
How do we have a healing? Through prayer, willingness and extending compassion. It’s not so hard. Our willingness will carry us there.
Don’t miss this! Unforgiveness and judgment keeps us playing small, living in lack and limitation. If you’re willing to make a leap, my Stop Playing Small online retreat is on a super early bird special right now, check it out before the price goes up.
