Where are you working?

Are you alone?

Look what I’ve created:

Dispassionate sex. Silence. No sharing.

I wrote A marvelous fantasy. Taking responsibility for choosing what I have. The thought came, “what if I end this season april 15th?” There was an Invitation to Wildwood Magic Retreat. (There will be singing.) On may 7th.

How is it serving me to create a partner who is traumatized by my talking about my limiting beliefs? A partner who penetrates me while I am limp and unresponsive? With whom I meticulously avoid conversation and with whom I constantly  wonder “how can I go from here to my fantasy?” I will not speculate. I will have my fantasy and strive to become it myself so my partner, whoever that is, can mirror it back! read more

Reading Expanding into Love invites me to describe my ideal relationship. I am timid to say what I want, lest I act selfishly and arrogantly. With openness to receiving companionship even better than I “want” I now describe my yearning.

I am blessed with a partner and  with companions who share my propensity to use the tools of Radical Living: Satori, 13 Steps, Worksheets, Walks for a Singing Heart. My loves even bring other modalities that resonate with raising our vibration. We sing. We seek and find classical and modern music. We make music. We support each other with Touch for Health, B.E.S.T., and Contact Reflex Analysis, yoga, chanting, Cranial-Sacral balancing, even natural balancing modalities I don’t know yet. Massage happens. Together, we support each other’s physical, emotional, and spiritual balancing and invigorating. read more

“It’s fine to explore relationship, but my brain can’t process all the questions. I feel bombarded with the questions I don’t have answers for.”

That’s his response to my courageous sharing that I know that my limiting beliefs about relating get in my way. My belief, my experience, is that when I share, or request, what I want or show how I am, then the relationship cracks. My recollection of that happening in all six of my previous love relationships is vivid. I wonder how to do it differently. read more
