As humans living on Earth we have agreed to be in relationships in some way or another. Unless one is a hermit in complete isolation, even our casual interactions are relationships in their simplest forms. And, at this time of great cosmic shifts, we are in the midst of big changes in our own lives and, as such, have likely experienced some major relationship shifts in the past year or so. Although relationships have come and gone over the course of our lives, the recent changes seem far more profound and permanent. As well, our soul’s desire to feel more connected to others has deepened. We are recognizing the Oneness of All That Is and want to heal our perceptions, if not our realities, of separation consciousness.

It may not be possible to mend all the dissolved relationships in our life, but we can certainly work with an intention to bring Love Consciousness to the origins of each of them.

What is the point of bringing anything to the “origins” of our relationships?
As all things are energy, and in reality there is no time or space, in truth we are always working with energy in present time. Thus, wherever something may seem on the spectrum of time, we always have access to it.

Back in linear time, we and our relationships have pasts and our strained relationships have been impacted by past energies that have lead to current issues. By infusing the formation of a relationship with Love Consciousness, we can positively influence the course of its linear path to affect the ever-present. Whether or not we literally repair the relationship is not a guarantee, but by enlightening the relationship’s origin, we can free ourselves from emotional baggage and find peace in What Is. And, likely, What Is will feel much more peaceful.

Of course, with a dedicated spiritual practice and inner work, it’s possible to find peace in all areas of our lives, and by working at the energetic level of our relationships, we can make tangible shifts in how we partake in them, even if they have dissolved completely.
​
This simple, mindful technique is both powerful and accessible. As our intuitive selves mature and we awaken the greater consciousness within us, we gain access to insights and abilities once reserved only for shamans and highly spiritual people.

It cannot be stressed enough to be both clear and loving in your intentions while doing this exercise:

1. Begin by selecting just one relationship that has been strained; perhaps it’s a relationship with a parent, estranged friend, boss or any other relationship in which you would like to experience a shift. With your mind’s eye, or your intention, bring this person – specifically your relationship with him/her – into your awareness with as much neutrality as possible. Notice your emotions, if they arise, but don’t engage them.
2. With your imagination, follow the energy path of the relationship to its origin. Try to identify what was going on in each of your lives at the time you met, such as life conditions, emotional needs or wounds, self-perceptions and other important factors. You can also choose to follow the energetic path to where the constriction in the relationship seemed to start; though the origin of the relationship is key to the subtler, more pertinent, patterning. You don’t need to rely on factual information, just allow whatever comes through to be present. Try to be objective.
3. Notice how the relationship has developed based on its original formation. Is it competitive? Is one person dominant, or needy? Although the observations that come may seem “judgmental”, stay in the center of “discerning” and simply pay attention to the unfoldment of the relationship.
4. Once you identify the origin, constrictions, and subsequent patterning, send the relationship unconditional Love. Use clear intention to send the highest frequencies of Love Consciousness to the relationship’s origin. You can also do this to any areas of “issues” that formed over time.
5. Use energy work, visualization, sound healing or any other modality to work with the pattern. You are not fixing the relationship; the intention is to simply "loosen" the constrictions to help “untangle” the energy. As you would a delicate gift, gently and lovingly open the "ball" of energy by infusing it with Love Consciousness.
6. Repeat the energy work daily, in a meditative state. Whether you work in the morning or evening, bring mindful intention to the relationship work for a week or two. While doing so, it is important to give the person in your imagination energetic space. Remember you are working with the patterns of the relationship, not the person.
7. Release expectations and work with clear consciousness. The intention of this work is to be open and loving, not manipulative, so it is important to be as clear as possible. If your own energy is filled with anger, you will simply be reinforcing the hardships in the relationship. Ask your angels or Source for assistance, neutrality, and impulses of Love Consciousness, if necessary. With as much purity as possible, you are infusing Love into the original situation so it may evolve into the present as a reflection of this sacred work.

In reality, you may think there is no need to do anything to dissolved relationships that no longer serve you. This is true, perhaps. Yet, with no hope or desire to reunite an estranged relationship, you have nothing to lose except time spent in loving intention, right?

Nonetheless, in this age of awakening to One Love, if we tune into the desires of our hearts we feel a yearning to beat in rhythm with the Universal frequencies of this highest order. With this simple exercise – and "it isn’t hard to do"* – not only can you visualize peacefulness in your own relationships, you can allow yourself to "imagine all the people living life in peace."*

*Imagine by John Lennon

A simple, loving practice I have created for myself lately is a yoga-like free and easy movement to yummy music in the morning.

The moves are slow and flowing, and - like sensual dance moves - includes the loving caresses of my hands nurturing and blessing my body. My hands, first open to the heavens above, gather Universal Love and melt down my head, neck, shoulders and arms.  

Resting in Easy Sit position, I sway and churn my torso, while my hands comfort my back, buttocks and thighs, as I open my heart to the world and to myself.

With eyes closed, music loud and luscious, I allow my body temple to embrace the union of body and soul within me. During this sacred time, and for hours afterward, all of me feels alive and loved.

I encourage you to enjoy your own expression of uniting body and soul in a loving, nurturing way.

Have you ever been in the midst of a joyful celebration, surrounded by friends and suddenly noticed that you were feeling lonely or loveless?

The primary impulse for our spiritual awakening is heart-centered Love. As the energies expand and contract to make room for more love in our hearts, we can feel an odd emptiness. 

Why is this? 
  
As beings of Love playing in the game of duality, which includes wounds, stories and occasional bursts of joy, we have tried to adjust our Highest Selves to participate in the human's see-saw of emotional experiences. And as we awaken, there will be those unpredictable moments when we notice the illusion of it all, or feel the massive gap between where our human selves have defined joy and the eternal bliss of Divine Love.

In those moments, know that there is nothing wrong with you. You aren't being ungrateful or haven't found the right friends, you are simply awakening to a higher form of Love. And, at those times of raw awareness, know that the gap is shrinking.

In essence, your soul is experiencing the discernment between alone and  all one.
