Comments on: WHAT DO WE MEAN BY “SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIPS?” http://www.catherineauman.com/blog/what-do-we-mean-by-%e2%80%9cspiritual-relationships%e2%80%9d/ Los Angeles Psychotherapist specializing in Spiritual Psychology and Transpersonal Counseling Wed, 21 Dec 2011 21:33:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: mspirit http://www.catherineauman.com/blog/what-do-we-mean-by-%e2%80%9cspiritual-relationships%e2%80%9d/comment-page-1/#comment-102 mspirit Sat, 28 Mar 2009 04:26:53 +0000 http://catherineauman.com/blog/?p=13#comment-102 I think it is a wonderful prospect of having a spiritual connection with someone. Letting go of the idea that you must be right, have power over someone to secure love, or realizing that I can't be humbled is hard. But I am humble by the world around me. I hope to someday find the spiritual connections with everyone I touch. Currently, I have 3 good friends that are spiritual relationships. We discuss how life is hard, but we also talk about the transcendence of suffering. We do this with the idea of looking inside ourselves to focus on the horizon of dreams that can come true - through spirit and the power of feelings. We can do good for ourselves and others through caring for ourselves and for the people we touch. We are searching and still stopping to notice the beauty in life. I celebrate knowing that we can walk this path together and we also can stumble together. We tell each other that it's okay to be a little broken inside. We are honest about who we are and we still make an effort to love each other with kindness, non-judgment and understanding. We have compassion because each of us suffers in our own way. When I look up after falling, I find a kind warm hand has come to help me stand up again! (that hand is hopefully guided by self love). Namaste!
