Sacred Relationships & The Seven
Gemstones of Fulfillment
We are shocked into the direct
realization that God is not far away
at all. In fact, we learn that when we
are truly present as the embodiment of
Love in the world, we immediately have
God, and God has us.
Yet few of us have been shown the way
to Love. We get most of our learning
from rough and tumble on-the-job
training! After so many bruises, we
either withdraw into a safe shell
(even in a relationship) or we make
the inquiry into what does not work,
and, slowly, we begin to discover what
does. This discovery always come as a
revelation, for what works in sacred,
loving relationships is exactly what
sages have been teaching us works in
the quest for enlightenment!
Sacred Relationship requires a
transfiguration of the self we have
thought ourselves to be. It requires
dismantling the veils we have built
around our hearts to keep us safe,
discovering our own authenticity and
living it fully, releasing all the
dysfunctional “tapes” we have acquired
from our past, and cultivating the
ability to truly empathize; to
sensitively enter into the soul of
another, to become one with another,
whether in their joy or their pain.
Sacred Relationship requires the same
kind of transfiguration the mystic
must go through to become one with
God. In both longings, we are called
to surrender everything we have known,
and become literally the “vessel”
through which the Absolute, as Love,
pours toward the beloved. Our refusal
to give up our previous perceptions
blocks us from realizing the highest
and most fulfilling relationships,
just as it keeps the seeker of God
forever a seeker.
The Secret to experiencing both Sacred
Relationship and the presence of God
is what I call “Breathing Room.” The
principle is simple: nothing can flow
into a space which is already full. If
the “space” of our hearts and minds
were filled with Sacredness and God,
we wouldn’t feel so dissatisfied! This
can mean only that there is “no room
at the Inn.” That is, we have become
full of something that prevents what
would most fulfill us from flowing
into us. If this were not true, we
would have what we long for already.
I would like to offer to you the Seven
Gemstones of Fulfillment. I know that
if you wrap your soul around them,
they will lead you in ways unimagined
into and through the land of
transfiguration that alone can gift
you with the fulfillment of your
longing for Sacred Relationship.
Gemstone One:
What you long for
is longing for you. The journey to
fulfillment of the soul begins, in the
recognition that the desire and
longing you feel, whether it seems
directed toward the longing for Love
in a human relationship or toward a
spiritual relationship with God, is
already sacredness appearing within
you. That longing needs to be as a
priority in your life. Go ahead, take
the plunge and state clearly to
yourself your deepest longings. And
then realize that this very longing is
actually the way the Universe is
calling to you!
Give yourself the breathing room
necessary to feel your deepest
longings and desires. This is the very
first step in becoming the capable of
receiving their fulfillment.
Gemstone Two:
Harry Truman made
famous the simple phrase: The buck
stops here. In our quest for
sacredness, both human and divine, we
must freely choose to interrupt the
ego’s penchant for passing the baton
of responsibility. I invite you here
and now to take a deep breath and say
the following within yourself, until
it seeps into your cells:
I and I alone create my experience.
All that I see, have, do, and am is by
my perfectly free choice. I free the
world from any blame I have placed
upon it, or anyone.
Taking 100% responsibility frees up
enormous energy we once frittered away
in making excuses, defending our
opinions, and enlisting others in our
sad, sad stories. As A Course in
Miracles states: “Would you rather be
right, or happy?” The decision for
100% responsibility opens a magical
door between what you have been, and
what you can become. Go ahead. Make
the space for this clear decision now!
Gemstone Three:
Be what you
want to attract. In the realm of
transforming the soul, receiving what
we long for works by the Law of
Attraction. Therefore, in your quest
for sacred, fulfilling relationship,
choose now to look honestly at how
what you want to attract is blocked
and take corrective action! Following
especially on #2 above, stop wasting
time complaining about the love and
sacredness you are not getting from
your partner (or lack of one!) and
focus entirely on these simple
questions:
• How can I be more present today?
• How can I extend sacred love into my
world, right now?
Cultivate the realization that the
mind always moves immediately in the
direction of answers. Following inner
promptings takes us into the
experience of extending love into the
world, and when we give, we
immediately receive. Honor and follow
your inner promptings to extend love
into the world.
Gemstone Four:
What is hidden
must be revealed, before it can be
healed. In Sacred Relationship,
Transparency is absolutely essential.
As Jaquelyn Small points out in her
excellent work, Awakening in Time, “
if it is happening under your skin,
it’s yours”. Use all feelings and
perceptions that arise in the dance of
togetherness for what I refer to as
Radical Inquiry; getting to the
deepest truth about our reactions.
In this way, we unravel what causes us
to withdraw love and presence. For
example: all anger at something or
someone is ultimately a veil covering
a fear of something. In countless
couples sessions, and in my own life,
I have witnessed the miraculous power
of radical inquiry into reactions
arising in relationship when the
primary fear is uncovered and allowed
to be felt completely.
It always produces closeness and
connection, the very hallmarks of
sacredness. Like a budding mystic or
spiritual aspirant, all real work is
the discovery of how Fear has crept
into our hearts and minds, usurping
the place where the very Love of the
Absolute longs to dwell within us.
Transparency is a skill, easily
learned and deceptively simple, yet it
requires time and practice for us all,
because it is the opposite of
everything the world has taught us to
do! The commitment to master
transparency leads to the deep
realization of something priceless:
the ability to love and be loved
deeply, and the direct experience of
God’s Presence. In short, Freedom of
the soul.
To begin creating the Breathing Room
necessary for transparency to blossom,
start by asking yourself the
following:
What feeling, or fear, have I possibly
withheld from my partner? Has this
caused closeness, or a sense of
distance?
Make a commitment to seek out and
learn the skills of transparent, safe
communication in your relationships. A
great guide to start with is a book by
my friends, Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks,
titled "Conscious Loving.“ Remember,
transparency reveals all which must be
healed in our minds for Fulfillment to
blossom, both in our personal
relationships, and in our relationship
with the Absolute”.
Gemstone Five:
Which Universe
have you been living in? If that seems
an odd question, consider these words
from Albert Einstein: “There are only
two ways to live your life: One is as
though nothing is a miracle. The other
is as if everything is”.
I like to underscore this Gemstone by
noting something very important about
potential places for our hearts and
minds to live. In the Universe where
nothing is a miracle, something
threatening can happen: mistakes! When
I live in that Universe, I must always
be unsure about myself, and especially
unsure about you. So much of our
suffering can be traced to our
“certainty” that the “other guy” has
failed us in some way; a mistake has
been made. In this Universe, I must
settle for being a victim: others
“cause” my unhappiness! Of course,
this is the opposite of everything our
earlier Gemstones tell us! In the
Miraculous Universe, there are no
mistakes. All events are seen as an
unfolding support of Love to nudge us
toward our Awakening, and out of our
illusions! Every mystic and sage has
lived in the Miraculous Universe.
Enjoy the Breathing Room expanding
within you as you relax your body.
Breathing evenly and deeply, take 15
minutes now to do nothing but look at
what is around you: an object on your
kitchen table, the quality of light in
the sky, or any sounds that come and
go. Do you really know what these
things are, or how they have truly
come into existence? No! Sages know
their bliss comes from accepting the
utter miracle of all things arising
and passing away. Simply see, hear,
and appreciate the Mystery touching
your eyes or your ears.
Gemstone Six:
One popular
opinion, one which in many ways
literally keeps the world spinning
while getting no where, is this:
Happiness is caused by the successful
arrangement of people, places and
things around me. If you feel such a
thought doesn’t have a grip on you in
some way, think of all the times you
have felt unhappy, while your mind was
fixated on what changes must occur in
order for you to be happy! Here is the
truth about happiness:
Happiness is a choice, and is
literally uncaused by any external
condition whatsoever. The source of
happiness is in our infinitely
powerful minds, and our freedom to
choose.
To create Breathing Room around your
experience of Happiness, ask yourself
the following: “What condition(s) have
I been placing on my truly being
happy? I will be happy when
_________.” Now, imagine what you will
feel like when that condition is met.
Become familiar with it in your body.
Then, decide to enjoy feeling that way
now! Remember, in the transforming of
the soul, and cultivating Sacredness
in our lives, the Law of Attraction is
supreme. To experience greater
happiness in relationship to God, and
to other fellow human beings, grow
yourself into a field of happiness,
and watch how your life begins to
“miraculously” change!
Gemstone Seven:
Mae West was a master of this:
Become the most capable lover possible
and learn to see every moment of
relationship as an opportunity to
literally “make love, not war.” To
give yourself to this task is the
consummate spiritual act. Imagine how
our world would be if everyone
practiced the mantra given to us by
the 14th century Sufi mystic-poet
Hafiz: in the moments of all their
relationships: “My dear, how can I be
more loving to you, how can I be more
kind?”
To create Breathing Room for the lover
in you to emerge, simply use Hafiz’
words when interacting with another at
least 10 times a day! Also, tune in to
a time when you felt completely
loving. Feel the feelings that were
present with you then. Become familiar
with them, create them now, just for
the enjoyment of it, and then do the
next thing life is asking of you from
that loving feeling, no matter what it
is!
And now, here is the deepest secret I
can give you. It is the truth and
essence of all gospels and teachings;
the very essence of enlightenment:
You are That Shimmering One who
created your body-mind as a device
through which to extend love into
creation.
Your very existence is sacred beyond
all measure. Isn’t it time to give up
the “Reluctant Soul Syndrome” and
embrace your very life with passion
and honor? Would you join with me in a
commitment to living Sacredness into
all your relationships, while opening
to Remembrance of God? You don’t have
to wait until you “know how”. Why?
Because the Absolute, the very realm
of the Sacred, longs for you as you
long for it. Merely making the
commitment sets in motion all manner
of things in support of your desire.
The Universe you may have learned to
see as alien, mechanical, and separate
from you, will begin to conspire, that
is, breathe with you, in support of
your transformation! Can any journey
be more worthwhile than the one in
which millions of us arise from our
slumber and actively choose to bless
this world with the Sacredness of Who
We Really Are?
Contributing to Global Awakening
We believe that when we offer
ourselves to Sacred Relationship and
prove our commitment by honoring the
Light in our Beloved, even when they
are expressing in the most challenging
way, that Spirit uses our relationship
as a crucible where issues facing
humankind are brought to us for
compassionate transformation. They
come through us as personal
experience, but the results of our
dedicated attention bring about a
larger, richer experience of our
TrueSelf.
They increase intimacy and
pleasure through extraordinary
partnership, and We believe that they
do have a global impact for good. Our
courage makes the path easier for
others to take, makes the Divine more
accessible. As such, we earn the right
to call for and receive the Universal
Healing Resources to assist and bless
our journey of awakening.
“Always keep your heart in heaven."
“Love and allow!”
Unlike most relationships with
attachment, unfulfilled desires,
expectations, codependency's and
confusion, Sacred Relationship
transcends these challenges and it is
where everyone is heading. Many know
the old relationships and ways of
interacting with each other are coming
to a close yet have no idea what the
new way or relationship is thus they
are often left floundering in pain,
suffering and confusion.
We can have love, compassion and even
passion without attachment. We can
have anger without hate, discernment
without judgment and condemnation and
expression without suppression. When
we do not express due to fear of
loosing the love, acceptance, approval
of another and suppress in denial, we
create an energy block which can
eventually end up in disease or when
the dam breaks a burst of anger and
resentment issues forth upon whomever
is in the path. Expression without
suppression, denial and insecurity
also helps others to evolve by giving
them the information they need to go
forward.
If we truly desire a sacred
relationship we must first take full
responsibility for our own attitudes,
emotions and actions. It is no longer
appropriate to project, blame or make
another responsible for our lives, the
love, joy, happiness and even the
abundance we are experiencing. There
is a saying, ”The only reason anyone
has any power over you is because you
want something from them.”
Whether it be love, joy, acceptance,
approval or even security, these are
all attributes to be and not seek
through others or outer experiences.
Be love, joy and happiness. Accept and
approve of yourself. Be secure within
yourself and manifest your own
abundance. Become sovereign and
establish a sacred relationship with
self. Love yourself enough not to
participate in all the other dramas,
especially those which another has not
chosen to heal and go forward. Take
the time necessary to heal yourself of
any wounds, traumas and wrong
conclusions from past experiences.
We live in an Action/Reaction world
known as the plane of demonstration
where consciousness creates reality.
We magnetize people and events to us
according to our consciousness. Is it wise to first heal ourselves,
love, accept and approve of ourselves
and then magnetize people and events
to us which are a reflection of our
own self-love, self-acceptance,
self-approval, as well as our own
happiness and security? The ultimate
sacred relationship is to become one
with the loving, joyous, wise and
powerful manifesting God within and
allow that love to flow through you
unconditionally and unattached to
others and all life. This is where we
are all headed eventually.
We invite you to explore the
private sessions offered for your
personal growth and enjoyment. They

Soulmate Relationship Readings
Relationship readings cover past
incarnations experienced together, the
spiritual opportunities and challenges
of those incarnations and the
appropriate path to walk in your
present life to clear karmic
influences. Karmic relationships
usually last from five to seven years.
At the end of that cycle relationships
often end but the love for one another
is still present.
Breaking out of a relationship when
two people are still in love can be
traumatic. By understanding your past
history together a deeper insight into
the governing forces of your present
relationship is acquired. This insight
can give you the transformational
tools needed to create a loving
expression of support towards one
another as you walk forward in this
life together or individually.
Topics covered in a relationship
reading include:
How to help family members, friends,
or relatives on their soul path.
Why people are together, what they are
learning from one another and how to
help each other reach their fullest
potential.
How to develop good communication
skills.
Guidelines for working through
problems.
Past life connections and karmic
influences.
These are sample topics. All types of
questions are welcome.
