Hello from Saint Gallen!
St. Gallen Cathedral
It’s quite cold here (4-degrees centigrade) and it’s drizzling but it’s truly a joy to be with ThetaHealing founder Vianna Stibal to learn more about Theta Healing.
This time, it’s about “Growing Your Relationship with You and Your Significant Other”, the first part in the series. Next week I’m taking part two, “Growing Your Relationship with You and God”.
“Growing Your Relationship with You and Your Significant Other” is designed for couples but can be applied to all types of relationships. The basic premise is to set the ground rules.
The ground rules for good relationships
These rules are what both parties will not tolerate in their relationship and what they expect from one another. If these are not set in the beginning, there will be no boundaries in the relationship.
Vianna, for instance, shared that she doesn’t want to be lied to or cheated or physically abused. These are her deal breakers in her relationship. Her husband’s list simpler, saying that he doesn’t want someone who smokes or to go to places with the opposite sex alone. Before they got married, they made a list and talked about what they expect from one another to make their relationship work.
As I go through the course, I’m reminded of my past relationships and looking back, a lot of things could’ve been ironed out if me and my ex (and for that matter, exes) decided on the ground rules beforehand.
Where does unconditional love come in?
Well, when two people get together the relationship becomes conditional for it to work. Each will continue to be with the other only if conditions are met. Reality sets in unless you end up becoming a martyr in a relationship. Look to your parents (or grandparents) and see how they survived their relationship? Did they absolutely love each other or did they stay together for the sake of their children or parents? This is an eye opener for me. Talk about a lesson for this Holy Week.
At whatever stage you are in your life in your relationship and partnerships, I wish you all a good Holy Week.
Meditate, reflect, and renew. Happy Easter!
In loving service,
Rosan
