Relationships - Your True Currency

Since we began last week with the annual commemoration of Saint Valentine's Day, I thought I would begin my week off by writing about the "R" word - Relationships.

We are not separate from the world we live in - we are all connected and therefore, our true currency comes to us through our relationships with others.  We depend on each other for everything we have in our lives - our food, our clothing, our homes, our cars, our money and so on.  Everything comes to us through other people.  In reality, our relationships are the only true currency we have.

The most important relationship we'll ever cultivate is the relationship we have with our self.  In order to have authentic loving relationships with others, we must first open up the wellspring of love within ourselves.  For it is only through having compassion and love for ourselves that we can truly cultivate compassion and love for others.  We must learn to embrace the beauty of our humanness and live in the frequency of unconditional love with our shadow side.

Since "like attracts like," we attract to ourselves people who mirror our reflection back to us.  Do you like what you see in the mirror?  If not, take time to uncover the lessons you magnetized to yourself to learn without blame, criticism or judgment and move on.  The key to manifesting the relationships you desire is to be the very thing you desire - remember, "like attracts like."  When you rise up to embody the very thing you want to have, you raise your frequency to attract it.

In the deepest sense, your home is also a mirror - it reflects back to you your identity - the inner aspects of yourself.  Once you've taken the time to identify the relationships you would like to create, you may want create a template in your home to set up a new energy field that will assist you in magnetizing the relationships you desire.  

A good place to begin to incorporate a new template for your relationships is none other than the Relationship Area (right, rear section) of your home.  If you're not sure where the Relationship Area of your home lies, I have a free Feng Shui Bagua Map available for download on my web site, www.inspirationalfengshui.com.

Here are 10 Feng Shui enhancements for incorporating a new energy template in the Relationship Area of your home:

1. A beautiful rock to add stability
2. Happy photos of you with people you love
3. Items in the colors of red, pink and/or white
4. Pottery, stones, rose quartz and crystals
5. Hearts or figurines that represent love and friendship
6. Healthy plants with rounded leaves to stimulate new growth
7. Pairs of things you love, such as two candles or two lovebirds
8. Artwork that represents the relationships you would like to have
9. Affirmations, quotes, poetry or any saying pertaining to love
10. If you desire a romantic relationship, place objects here that represent romantic love to you, i.e., your favorite flowers or romantic photos

Mindfully place whatever symbolizes love to you throughout your home so that your home is always affirming and reflecting back to you the love and relationships you want to have.


Abundant Blessings,
