Practice using these Guidelines everywhere

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

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.
Notice my emotions (by feeling the physical sensations in my energy centers).
Notice my thoughts (such as planning my reply, judging, analyzing, comparing, day-dreaming, etc.)
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.

Take responsibility for my feelings, experiences, and actions (no blaming).
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).
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.

Change my perspective from fearful to loving (choose to see myself and others in a loving or appreciative way).
Release any distance I feel from anyone.
Be present while others are speaking (not preparing replies, judging, etc.)

COMMUNICATION AND ACTION –
STRIVING TO MAKE ALL MY INTERACTIONS CONSCIOUS AND LOVING.

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