Harnessing Relationships for Spiritual Growth
Feb 25, 2025
Relationships provide much of the context for our conflicts (spiritual wounds) as well as the resolution (healing) in our lives.
We are relational beings and the purpose of our physical bodies is communication.
So of course relationships are a key to our spiritual growth as they pose an opportunity to do deep work on ourselves and heal our deeper spiritual wounds.
We also find that a big part of our journey homeward bound is found in helping each other awaken, not via teaching or preaching to someone, but in the consciousness that we offer them, as well as in the relationship with them.
When you relate from a place of truth, they are drawn to do the same.
How does this show up in relationships?
Well in romantic relationships when you relate from a place of already recognizing the love within you, and the love from source as being your source of feeling whole and loved, then you go into that relationship in a very different way than if you are looking for a relationship to mend a wound, to avoid loneliness, to bring status, security or to fulfill a biological need (kids or tribe for safety).
When you are love, and express it freely, you never lack love in life and it becomes easier to find a partner if that is what is meant for your path.
When you are acting from an unconscious wound and hoping the relationship will fix that for you, you either have a harder time getting that or you get it but it doesn’t do the thing you want it to do and so it becomes sour. It falls apart.
So we get to first see where we are coming from.
What are we using the relationship for?
Ego’s meaning? is one that is conditional, possessive, and rooted in lack. It often involves using others to fill a perceived void, projecting guilt, or attaching conditions to love ("I will love you if...").
These relationships reinforce separation and dependency, offering fleeting happiness but inevitably leading to conflict, disappointment, or suffering.
Or spirits meaning? Joining with another person to experience unity, forgiveness, and the reflection of God's unconditional love. In holy relationships, grievances are replaced with forgiveness, and love is extended equally without demands or expectations.
As ACIM would say "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."
I hope this inspires you and your relationships, while my focus was on romantic ones in this email, you can apply it to any of them! Just keep in mind that forgiveness is key!
Having an intuitive practice helps you to see things through the lens of spirit and gives you tools to practice forgiveness and unconditional love in a practical way!
