As we move into
the month of February, it always brings up love. Or maybe it is just one of my
favorite topics. We want it, want it to be better or are getting it elsewhere
(this can mean a casual relationship outside your relationship, or settling for
something else because you have stopped expecting you will ever find it!). Love
is a complicated thing. Our media hypes it to be all about the beginning, the
chase and the capture. Yet, rarely does it show the difficulties within a
relationship. I’m going to have author Jessica Shepherd talk about two of her
most recent books, Venus Signs and Karmic Mates, where we’ll get
to the Heart of what Matters with regards to Love and Astrology. She has an
interesting concept of planets in the 5th house showing our Karmic
relationships. I will interview her live on Tuesday February 3rd and
produced on Monday February 9th.
As I explain to
my clients, relationships are a lot of work!! The media portrays the fairy-tale
image of relationships and as if that wasn’t difficult enough, we live in a
society of serial daters who are unable to commit. However, it is also
challenging because once you “land” the relationship, this is NOT the hardest
part. The hard part is maintaining the relationship. The hard part is staying
balanced, committed, open and willing to work through your triggers. Our
intimate relationships are our surest way to grow and evolve spiritually. They
also bring up all the patterns that we continue to create and react to.
However, this month I want to talk about the “Dream of Love”!
The dream I’m
referring to is the most magnificent vision of love you can imagine. When you
think about love, what is it you desire most? Think of qualities like
committed, authentic, confident, and inspirational etc.. Often the biggest
mistake we make is when we think about the “whom” we desire the most! This
limits what the Universe wants to deliver, but it also holds the “who” in a
pattern that they can’t seem to get out of. It also doesn’t leave us room to
dream!! By thinking that it has to be just one person, we can’t see that person
changing, and we stay stuck as well. Instead think about the most alluring
Dream you can imagine! Dare to Dream about all the beauty that a relationship
can hold. Dream about what a relationship can offer you physically, mentally,
emotionally and spiritually. Often when we are in a relationship, large areas
of this dream aren’t being met. And of course, although we would like to blame
it on the “other”, it is our own limitations that hold ourselves and our
partner in a pattern. Because we don’t dare to dream!
It’s easy when
love has gone, because we can start over, but we are still limited by our own
lack of imagination for a better life (we may settle because we are too afraid
of being alone or we may not trust again for fear of being hurt, so we reject
everyone first). When we are in a relationship, it really is the same; we fear
the dream, because we believe it means that we will have to leave the person we
are with. Yet, if you can dream, and dream big, and be open to all
possibilities, you can free both of you from the stuck patterns you are in. The
only thing we can’t do is change someone else, but since the problem is never
with the other person, it is only us that we have to be prepared to change. If
we can change our limited vision of what the relationship is, then we can open
up to the possibilities that are all around us.
Forget about
whether there is or isn’t a person in our life, and just Dream about Love in
all the beauty that it can deliver to us (without the media’s vision of a fairy-tale
love that can’t exist) and envision how a relationship will complement our
lives and know that it will push us to be better. Let’s begin to dream a vision
of equality, balance, spiritually and emotional fulfillment in our
relationships. Dare to dream of a partnership with someone that encourages the
best of whom we are and the best of who they are so you will both flourish!
Challenge yourself to find the courage to be open to love unfolding without
setting it into the boundaries of our patterns and their patterns. Love can
express itself as the Dream you truly desire, in the relationship you truly
desire. Unleash your dreams and invite yourself to open to a relationship in
your life that truly reflects who you are in all your infinite love!
