Cultivating a Conscious Relationship.
L
eza Vivio, owner of Sacred. Centered. You., and her husband, offer the informative series Soul Mating: Exploring Conscious Relationships. She says, “The impact of changes in our outlets over the last year has put unique pressures on our relationships. Too often we are tempted to turn and run from our fears, insecurities and vulnerabilities, but this can be cured with understanding of the significance of our relationships in our personal growth.” The self-study course journeys through aspects of relationships, what it means to be conscious within them and how to adjust our understanding and use improved communication skills. It may seem like, “We have to talk,” means that the other person has to change. “More often than not, the men that I work with are nice guys, and at their core, people pleasers. When they are successful here, they can be very satisfied, but if they are met with what they perceive as criticism, it is very easy to begin to harbor resentful feelings,” says Vivio. “Because they have a deep desire to provide happiness to women, when they are asked to change something, they perceive their efforts as insufficient, unappreciated and disrespected.” The result is conflict that they’d rather avoid.
