“Love one another, but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.” —Kahlil Gibran Celebrating soul-hearted partnership takes place on three levels at once. Just as in a set of Russian wedding rings each individual ring fits smoothly with the others to create the whole, the three energies of soul-hearted partnership intertwine seamlessly to nurture the whole. The dynamic of soul-hearted partnership is more than two people each giving 50 percent. It consists of two energy sources that together make the relationship more than the sum of its partners. Both partners give 100 percent by first … [Read more...]

A Soul-Hearted Partner Is More than A Soul Mate
Many people hold the false belief that there is only one soul mate for each person and we have to seek them out to be happy.

The Difference Between Soul Mates and Soul-Hearted Relationships
When we fall in love, we get a glimpse of our lover’s soul. When we flow in love, all impediments fall away, and their soul is all we see. To fall in love is magical; to flow in love is mystical. When we flow in love with another person, we engage in the ultimate dance of soul-hearted partnership, sharing our joy, passion, and exuberance for life. The unceasing flow of love that we exude affects how we wake up in the morning, carry ourselves, handle disappointment, give and receive love, and sustain our soul connection. We should not assume that there is only one soul mate for each person and we have to seek them out to be happy. Rather, … [Read more...]
The Pivotal Moment I Let Go of an Unhealthy Relationship and Chose to Love Myself
In all our relationships, it’s essential that we find a point of balance between supporting our own needs, wants, and desires and those of another person. When we fail to satisfy our own needs, it results in no one’s needs being fully satisfied. Instead of asking for or manifesting what we want or desire, we become tolerant of mediocrity in our relationships. Although it’s wonderful to have a strong drive to support, serve, or assist others, in our need to give, we sometimes become overly responsible or over cooperate. This pattern debilitates us and those we serve. This tendency to over help can lead to a pattern of co-dependency where we … [Read more...]
Living in Soul-Hearted Partnership Creates a Safe Haven of Love
Living in soul-hearted partnership creates a safe haven of unconditional love.

Like two professional dancers, alternately leading and supporting the other, each one brings such energy and connection so the dance flows gracefully and effortlessly. They are not dependent on each other for love, but together reflect this energy to each other and then out into the world. Such love compels them to become more kind and compassionate human beings. An energetically safe haven of love is an … [Read more...]
The Power of Having a Soul Team Around You
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined.” – Henry David Thoreau To support our own transformation, we must invite into our lives an energetic support team-people who love us unconditionally, without judging, enabling, or interfering with our choices. Such an energetic support team, or Soul Team, consists of kindred spirits who encourage the full expression of our true being rather than our ego-driven identity or the roles we play to survive in the world. As such, they motivate us to let go, follow our hearts and co-create a more fulfilling future. When building our Soul Team, we sometimes realize that … [Read more...]
