How To Have Peaceful Relationships

The biggest mistake I’ve made, is to want someone to be something they are not!

The greatest freedom is to let people be who they are!

This revelation came as I was practicing awareness while spending time with someone. On one side of me (to my seemingly right side in my mind), I was listening to what they were believing, that I didn’t agree with. On the other side, (my seemingly left side of my mind) I heard how my ego would usually respond. So I basically had two dialogs going at once.

The Holy Spirit met me in the middle and asked me; “how will you (Gypsy Spirit) respond?” I said; “well, I usually respond the ego’s way, which only causes pain and division, so I choose to not respond.” When the other person was done sharing what they believed, it got quite for a moment and then they moved on to another topic and peace was achieved. This is what we call, “practicing the pause,” It’s a very empowering moment, of choosing peace rather than pain.

After this incident, I processed relationships and realized I have basically 8 different relationships in my life:

1. Companionships: These are people that are on the same awakening journey as us. When we are with them we can fully be ourself, and we feel very heard and understood.
2. Partnership: This person is who we have chosen to do life with or go through time together as lover, friend, family etc. Clear communication and fun/memorable experiences are crucial in a partnership.
3. Friendships: These relationships usually develop with things in common and these people are enjoyable to be around.
4. Family: A relationship we are born into. Although we may struggle to find common ground, these relationships are crucial in over coming our ego, and practice forgiveness.
5. Acquaintances: These are the easiest of all relationships, but much needed, as they give us opportunities to be kind.
6. Clients: People who are seeking to receive help, healing and freedom.
7. Student: People who are committed to do whatever it takes to; heal, know who they Truly are and live in peace and abundance.
8. Enemies: People who I’ve judged for not being something they are not.

Although some people may over lap into multiple relationships in our life, knowing where they mainly belong, frees us from judging them and frees them from the pressure and expectations we place upon them. For example, we may have a friend that we really desire to be a companion. Although we love the friend, they may not be on our path and to force them to do so, is unloving.

Taking the time to think through your relationships, and to accept what they truly are, while engaging with them accordingly, brings so much peace to humanity.
