Empowered or Dis-empowered Relationships?

We explored the differences in qualities that create empowered and dis-empowered relationship at Removing Obstacles to Love last night and the value of having an awareness of an inward focus began to emerge. 

The first week was all about self-image and identifying what we looked for in our potential partners with a focus on physicality, status and behavior.  This week was all about the values that we looked for in relationships.  Values like those in the diagram above that make up our ideal relationships and becomes the start of creating value awareness and a mindful focus on the intention of our thoughts.    

Once naming the values a discussion followed on how they affect our behavior and four aspects of primary relationships!    

Looking forward to our next gathering!

Happy Love Day! #14th Tip to finding better love

#14 – ‘Signs of Attraction’

Mutual eye contact is a sure sign of attraction. Brief glances catching each other’s eyes without turning away that may lead to other body signals. First stage of passion in relationships that will lead to second and third stages; emotional intimacy and commitment. If this is the partner of your dreams, enjoy this first stage of romance and growing excitement of passion.  Take your time and enjoy the foreplay without rushing it.   It is the easiest and greatest stage of any relationship and creates mystery and intimacy.  Too soon and it’s lost!

Removing obstacles to Love Workshop

Love Day 14Tip of the Day:  Take your time noticing each other reactions and flirt-i-ness.  If you are attracted you will make gestures that you find mirrored by them.  Love this stage as this is the time of heightened dreams and hopefulness.  Don’t rush past this stage and extinguished it too soon.

“A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.”

“Supply is infinite, but there must be receptivity.  We can have all the supply we will give.  But that is where the barrier is–the unwillingness to give.  That is where the lack or limitation is.”
