It is natural in a marriage for shifts to take place, and these can be navigated smoothly with open communication.
Throughout the course of a successful marriage or long-term commitment, the two people in the relationship may shift in and out of various roles. For example, one person in the couple may support the other person going back to school. In order to do this, he or she steps into a supporting role, setting aside certain goals or aspirations in order to provide a stable base from which his or her partner can launch in a new direction. There are many gifts of learning inherent in this role—from having the opportunity to embody a nurturing stance to feeling the pleasure of seeing a loved one thrive. When our partner expands his or her horizons, ours expand, too, and we gain access to a world that would otherwise remain closed to us.
However, there is also much to be said for having a turn to be the one stepping outside the box, perhaps taking time to attend to our personal healing, spiritual pursuits, or other interests. In order to maintain balance within our relationships, it's important that we address these issues each time one person steps into a supporting role so the other can try something new. When we are conscious about acknowledging that one person is bearing a bit more of a burden so that the other can grow, we stand a better chance of making sure the ebb and flow in the relationship remains fair and equal.
The most important part of this process is open communication in which each person has a chance to express how they feel and come to an understanding about the roles they have agreed to play and when they expect them to shift. Each time a dynamic shift occurs, a ceremony of acknowledgment can lend an air of distinction to the moment. This can be a simple dinner date or an elaborate ritual, depending upon what works best for us at the time. Perhaps the most important thing is expressing gratitude to the person in the supporting role and encouragement to the person moving in a new direction. When the flow of feeling and communication is open, a healthy closeness develops that allows each person in the relationship to have a turn at each of these important roles.
Intuition is a spiritual practice because intuitive development and spiritual awakening are so intertwined, they may as well be one and the same. In other words, if you travel down the path of intuitive development long enough, you'll become a conscious spiritual being. Conversely, if you travel down the path of spiritual practice long enough, you'll become a conscious intuitive being. They are both the same path, under different guises. In this four-week course, you will cover the four core psychic abilities from a spiritual perspective and you will work with each of these abilities from the starting point of Divine connection: a place where you will experience expansion of consciousness, raising of vibration, and most likely, energetic healing, personal growth and total life transformation. Ready to begin this journey of spiritual and intuitive expansion? Let's go!
