Spiritual partnership guidelines (Authentic power)

Hello everyone as I was finishing my recent book I saw this and wanted to share, you can print it off & put it on your fridge, pinboard, wallet, bedroom wall etc

Used with permission from the seat of the soul institute

Spiritual Partnership Guidelines
Practice using these Guidelines everywhere—at home, with family, with friends, with adversaries, at work, and at play.

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.
Pay attention to my emotions by feeling the physical sensations in my energy centers (such as my chest, solar plexus, and throat areas).
Pay attention to my thoughts (such as judging, analyzing, comparing, daydreaming, planning my reply, etc., or thoughts of gratitude, appreciation, contentment, openness to Life, etc.).
Pay attention to my intention (such as blaming, judging, needing to be right, seeking admiration, escaping into thoughts (intellectualizing), trying to convince, etc., or cooperating, sharing, creating harmony, and revering Life).
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 his or 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.).
CONSCIOUS COMMUNICATIONS
and ACTIONS
Striving to Make All My Interactions Conscious and Loving

Consult my intuition.
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.
Choose my intention before I speak or act.
Act from the healthiest part of my personality that I can access (rather than caretaking, fixing, teaching, judging, blaming, gossiping, etc.).
And remember to enjoy yourself!

Great thread, SW!

Gary Zukav's thoughts and suggestions on relationships are excellent.

Thanks SW! I have copied and pasted this into the notes on my phone, it is a great message to read each morning before work, or if stressed out about work!

what I need to do.

I spent 9 months in rehab. I turned a corner after doing what I was told to do. The largest single element that made the difference was prayer. I was a group leader at that rehab and also shared counselling duties an experience that changed my life. Now I have been out for 4 years to get functional again there are certain things I have to do but I need to put recovery first at all times hope I can maintain the balance. Can't help but feel that a sponsor can help. But first the nicotine withdrawal.
