The topic of soul mates, and how one goes about finding a soul mate deserves much exploration. For life is enriched through sharing experiences with loved ones--whether they be friends, family, or lovers. There are so many different views on the subject of soul mates. Rather than explore the many views, here you will find a set of 10 principles designed to deepen a person's ability to attract and maintain all types of loving relationships, including the soul mate connection.
Ten Principles for Healthy and Happy Relationships
1. Self love is vital in finding a fulfilling relationship. When you truly value yourself then you will find someone that will truly value you. By being true to your personal authenticity, you will find the relationships in your life will mirror your values back. By being true to yourself, your relationships will know how to be true to you.
2. We all have a past, from which we can learn from our mistakes and achievements. Many painful past experiences ask us to heal so that we can move forward, rather than repeating old patterns that keep us feeling alone and separate. Make a commitment to let go of old behaviors and thoughts that reinforce the belief that there is not enough love in the world.
3. Because all relationships are co-created, make a vow to be supportive to the personal needs in your relationships. Do this without violating your personal values. Work together with your partner, rather than being in opposition, reactionary or competitive.
4. All relationships either grow or dissolve. This is a universal law. An ideal relationship is not one that stays the same all the time. Instead, it is one that is always growing and evolving. See change as an opportunity to grow together and share your ideas, wisdom, and inspirations.
5. Because differences are an element of personal preference, you will find relationships share both likes and dislikes. These differences assist us in growing and learning together. Communication is a vital tool to help us do that. Learn how to communicate in loving and nurturing ways that are also considerate of the other's point of view.
6. The ability of forgiveness is key in realizing the greatest potential in a relationship. This applies to self-forgiveness and forgiving the other person. Forgiveness does not mean that you compromise your sacred values, it only means that you find ways to accept the differences, realign to your greater good, and move on.
7. Relationships in their highest form serve a need greater than that of the two individuals. They serve a need for the society and the species by giving these two individuals the power to affect lives outside of their own in a positive way. With shared vision and combined energy create a mutual goal that may make a difference in the world. Whether small or large, the intent is what matters.
8. A truly loving and healthy relationship is not based upon two needy individuals who depend completely on one another. Instead, when two individuals come together and both able to act independently but choose to stay together is what creates a healthy foundation for the relationship and each individual to thrive.
9. Just as men and women truly have different needs, a successful relationship involves understanding each other's needs and supporting each other by fulfilling those needs as much as you are able. These needs exist on an emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual level. Find ways to explore these various levels together for this builds trust, respect, and mutual love-- along with creating opportunity to grow together.
10. It is impossible for anyone to have all his or her needs fulfilled by just one relationship. Therefore, it is important to recognize that our friendships and family play important roles in our needs for love that cannot be replaced with the love of just one other person. See other important relationships as vital for contributing to the well being of each individual.
May these principles guide you in creating more joy in your relationships.
