Shaun's Holistic Living Notes

(archived from  October 22, 2010) A question was just posed and I thought I'd share the answer for anyone who may be dealing with something similar. This question came from a consciously evolved, happily married woman who wanted to know how she could sever her mental and spiritual connection with her ex so that she could direct more of her love and energy to her husband. She was still having dreams and thoughts of her ex and was still aware of him whenever he experienced strong feelings. The information given to me to share with her has three parts. These tools can be applied to anyone trying to release or resolve a connection to any other person for any reason, be they an ex, a boss, a deceased relative or whomever. Step 1. Forgiveness: If there are any regrets or negative feelings about the person or the relationship, let them go. Any unforgiveness or guilt keeps the connection open.

But if I can do all of that, I will be farther along on the path to becoming the person that I have always wanted to be. I was reminded of so much this weekend: 1. I must always trust what I know to be true, no matter who is challenging it. 2. I am extremely fortunate to have people in my life who can see me clearly and who can so honestly and perfectly communicate to me what they see. 3. I finally have people in my life that I can be real, open and honest with. 4. If someone challenges me to judge others, rather than jumping onto the judgement bandwagon, I must be strong enough to challenge them to look inward and do the same myself. 5. If I do feel that I ...
