Why is it that I am only embarking on this path now in my middle life? I wish I had done this sooner! I'm going to re-work the exercise for my children. So instructive to see in such a concrete way how our beliefs are the root cause of our suffering.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07643538215723271518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452645648437706747.post-16667647908370434902010-08-31T08:22:53.485-04:002010-08-31T08:22:53.485-04:00Thank you Parvati for once again increasing our aw...Thank you Parvati for once again increasing our awareness. As I flow along this path I see more than ever how my thoughts, actions, and who I connect to as a reflection of what is going on inside. The deep and ingrained patterns. Now, I am growing in my awareness (witnessing) of the thoughts that are not healthy and are a result of the feeling "there isn't enough for me, or I am not good enough, or I dont deserve it, or that I don't deserve to be loved". The awareness itself has been astounding to the shift in my relationships (old and new) and to the slow growth from within to a happier place. Part of my life long journey....my "workshop" life.<br />I am forever grateful to your words.<br />On Namah Shivaya<br />RiverUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480440177197337550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452645648437706747.post-56545469186400107362010-08-30T14:19:02.186-04:002010-08-30T14:19:02.186-04:00Om Namah Shivaya,

I feel there is much food for thought for me in this post, and I look forward to finding an opportunity to workshop my core beliefs as you have described here. <br /><br />I see many people who are in my life - or, in many cases, drifting out of it - who remain stuck in the same old patterns of suffering and I feel badly for them, but recognize that only they can choose to begin witnessing the tendencies that have brought them to where they are, and choose to find a more expansive way. The only person whose patterns I can change is me.<br /><br />Jai Ma,<br />PranadaPranadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08602387063784879219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452645648437706747.post-44924638270785147202010-08-30T14:00:59.323-04:002010-08-30T14:00:59.323-04:00Om Namah Shivaya

Thank you for th...Om Namah Shivaya <br /><br />Dear Parvati <br /><br />Thank you for this extremely well-written article on relationships and the importance of seeking the truth within. So much of this addresses exactly where I am at in terms of my own evolution and even answers some of my very present questions. <br /><br />The content is deep and well thought out. I feel so grateful to be able to access this via the web. Please keep the posts coming. They are very helpful. <br /><br />Jai Ma! <br /><br />RajeswariAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452645648437706747.post-51389754923103174352010-08-28T22:04:51.305-04:002010-08-28T22:04:51.305-04:00Ah, yes, relationships are my greatest area of lea...Ah, yes, relationships are my greatest area of learning right now, and your blog contains vital information.. information that can be utilized and practiced. I am reminded that Love is within me, and it is also in others, and there is nothing I need to have from them to prove that. Thank you for the extensive blog. It is long, yet it was worth the read.IanGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09471002596894300868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452645648437706747.post-6270914273012281182010-08-28T17:47:16.551-04:002010-08-28T17:47:16.551-04:00Everything being a reflection is such an important...Everything being a reflection is such an important thing to be reminded of. Just keeping this in our minds until we finally understand it can allow us to be able to find opportunity in every moment instead of being victims of it. Thus as it is with everything, it is with relationships. They may seem complicated sometimes because we try to please others instead of understanding that to really contribute to a relationship we have to reconnect within so we reconnect without, and thus grow within a relationship and life. <br /><br />The blog is awesome as it reminds us of being aware!Alejandrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11496126034806957511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452645648437706747.post-14705086438119403882010-08-27T22:44:38.945-04:002010-08-27T22:44:38.945-04:00Because of Asperger's, there is so much about ...Because of Asperger's, there is so much about relationships that I simply do not "get", and intimate relationships are probably out of the question for me. It's like I have some part missing. A major part, like a car without a transmission or a TV without a picture tube. Nonetheless, I enjoy reading your blog, and look forward to every new post.Kevalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03007400719415900824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452645648437706747.post-18969820826840052392010-08-26T22:11:30.745-04:002010-08-26T22:11:30.745-04:00Wow, that was a great blog.

I've taken these and am using them as a guide in my current relationship. I'm also evaluating relationships that cause constriction and asking myself why I'm in them. Going deeper. <br /><br />My favourite line of the blog was “All that we experience in our life is a reflection of our own inner experience. The more balance we have within, the more balance we experience without." It makes so much sense and it resonated in my core. I'm and going to practice accepting that my experiences are a reflection of me and work on the balance within.<br /><br />Thank you Parvati for this blog and the helpful tools to go within.Sandra Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087530418852280194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452645648437706747.post-23579264851455223682010-08-26T15:06:33.719-04:002010-08-26T15:06:33.719-04:00Thanks Parvati.

I am currently experiencing difficulties in relationships everywhere in my life, in particular those relationships that I have had for a long time such as family and long term friends. It feels like now that I am making different choices and as a result thereof I am changing on an energetic level, those relationships have difficulties adapting. I also notice that I am attracting new relationships that right from the outset experience difficulties in me being myself. <br />At this particular point in my life I am learning to stand up for who I am and I am learning not to feel bad about that. I feel I have to set healthy boundaries with people and I also feel that it is healthy for me to end certain relationships. Yet, you say in your blog that we can "see relationships as a gift and opportunity to learn to truly love and for enriched personal growth, [so that] we can evolve deeply and quickly." You also say that "we have an opportunity to learn and grow by seeing all as a reflection in our own inner dialogue."<br /><br />This conflict in me is confusing me. When do we stay in relationships for our own personal growth and when do we end relationships because the other persons neediness and controlling behaviour has made it toxic for us? Can you please comment on that?Sunanda Jordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759402320377540081noreply@blogger.com
