Journey #5

The bridge I am talking about is the energetic link we all have with each and every person we interact with.  In contemporary spiritual beliefs we think of this as a thread that connects us to another person, place or event, and when that bridge feels stretched to the limit, all knotted up, or maybe even leaves you feeling drained of energy after each encounter, you need to decide what you want to do going forward.  If you stay where you are without making any conscious changes in the relationship, it could end up being a bit explosive!

You need to look into the energy of the relationship – not all the stories.  You have to look honestly, and without trying to fluff around your part in whatever has been playing out.  What you really need to do is to be able to move consciously forward with no regrets, in whatever direction you chose to travel.

Listen to your heart and your gut.  Be honest.  Don’t be fluffy.  Notice how you feel in your body when you think of these things.  Do you want to maintain the relationship?  How does that question make you feel in your body?  For example, if you say “Yes, I want to remain in the relationship” does that make your body relax, or stiffen up, or something else?  If you feel tired and drained when you’ve been together – is there a reason?  Is that reason something you are willing to help with or does it feel as if you are being taken advantage of?  If someone is leaning heavily on you for support, maybe you could learn how to freely give that energy without allowing yourself to feel drained.

When you decide what is your course of action it is time to implement it.  Are you going to mend the bridge – the link between you – or is it time to burn that bridge and each travel independently.  Maybe you can see a different alternative? 

Either way, think carefully before acting.  Make sure that the way the bridge is built back up, or allowed to fall apart, is done with respect and love for the journey you have made together.  Don’t just burn that bridge and stomp off angrily into the storm.
