Living The Present Through - Spiritual Partnership Guidlines

An addition to my checklist on "How to live MY life" ......at present :)
Million thanx to Seat of the Soul Institute for these guidelines.

SPIRITUAL PARTNERSHIP GUIDELINES
Practice using these Guidelines everywhere – at home, with family, at work. And
remember to enjoy yourself!

COMMITMENT – MAKING MY SPIRITUAL GROWTH (CREATING
AUTHENTIC POWER) MY HIGHEST PRIORITY
o Focus on what I can learn about myself all the time, especially from my
reactions (such as anger, fear, jealousy, resentment, and impatience) instead of
judging or blaming others or myself.
o Notice my emotions (by feeling the physical sensations in my energy centers).
o Notice my thoughts (such as planning my reply, judging, analyzing, comparing,
day-dreaming, etc.)
o Notice my intention (such as blaming, judging, needing to be right, wanting
admiration, escaping into thoughts (intellectualizing), trying to convince, etc.)

COURAGE – STRETCHING MYSELF BEYOND THE LIMITED
PERSPECTIVES OF THE FRIGHTENED
PARTS OF MY PERSONALITY.
o Take responsibility for my feelings, experiences, and actions (no blaming).
o Practice integrity at all times (often requires action, such as speaking when
frightened parts of my personality don’t want to speak and not speaking when
they feel compelled to speak).
o Say or do what is most difficult (sharing what I notice, if appropriate, when
someone speaks or acts from a frightened part of her personality; sharing about
myself what I am frightened to say and know that I need to say.)

COMPASSION –SEEING MYSELF AND OTHERS AS SOULS WHO
SOMETIMES HAVE FRIGHTENED PARTS OF THEIR PERSONALITIES
ACTIVE.
o Change my perspective from fearful to loving (choose to see myself and others
in a loving or appreciative way).
o Release any distance I feel from anyone.
o Be present while others are speaking (not preparing replies, judging, etc.)

COMMUNICATION AND ACTION –STRIVING TO MAKE ALL MY
INTERACTIONS CONSCIOUS AND LOVING.
o Consult my intuition.
o Choose my intention before I speak or act.
o Act from the healthiest part of my personality that I can find (rather than
caretaking, fixing, teaching, judging, blaming, gossiping, etc.)
o Speak personally and specifically rather than generally and abstractly (use “I”
statements rather than “we” or “you” statements).
o Release attachment to the outcome (trust the Universe). If I find myself
attached, begin again with Commitment, Courage, Compassion.
