Mastering Your Magnificence

Conscious Relationship Counselling

Perhaps the most powerful path to enlightenment—when approached consciously

For many of us relationships are one of the most challenging and complicated aspects of life and living. Some relationships are more significant than others, yet they can all present us with certain challenges and issues—which can at times get rather tricky to navigate through in a clear and loving way.

Many religious and spiritual paths steer well clear of relationship even to the point of denying intimacy and sexuality completely. Close relationship can so take a person off-balance that such religious paths consider it a spiritual impediment or distraction from "the path".

The truth is that life and relationship are inseparable. In my experience authentic spiritual growth and relationship are also just as inseparable. It doesn't matter where I run to or hide I am forever in relationship—even when I evade all contact with other people I remain perpetually in relationship with myself, with food, with nature, with the air I am breathing, with my inner self, with the thoughts in my mind, with my emotions and feelings, and with my memory of people from my past... the list goes on. All of these relationships can be approached consciously or unconsciously, often with very different outcomes.

Whilst all these subtle and essentially "inner relationships" which I've just listed each present their unique challenges and benefits, it is the intentional close human relationships that most people find the most difficult and the most rewarding. Of particular importance are those relationship between lovers, partners, couples, husbands and wives. For many the relationship with family members is also significant and plays a key role in their life.

Under normal circumstances the first relationship a person has with another human being is with his mother whilst his body is growing in her womb. This applies to all people—it's unavoidable. Beyond that there is generally a father promptly on the scene and perhaps other siblings. My presence in the womb and later in this world is a consequence of the relationship between a man and a woman who 9 months earlier came together in sexual union. Under normal circumstances this is always the case for nearly all people alive today. As mentioned, life and relationship are inseparable.

During the course of my life it is inevitable that I will find myself attracted to another person physically, sexually, emotionally and perhaps spiritually. Of the decade or two most of us spend in educational institutions how much wisdom is imparted to each of us with regard to creating healthy, life-giving, and fulfilling relationships? What example did my parents provide of the archetypal relationship between mother and father—between man and woman?

Very often, and for most of us, even the basics of a healthy relationship—let alone the deeper secrets of co-creating deep, authentic love with another human being —are something we are never taught and end up haphazardly figuring out for ourselves as we go along. For many people intimate relationship is a rather random affair. At times it all seems to work—namely participants are happy in each other's company—and at times it can range from mildly dysfunctional to utterly chaotic and destructive.

What I have discovered and learnt through my life is that there are certain key principles that, when applied, can transform most relationships into not only a source of great peace and love but also spiritual and transpersonal liberation. It certainly takes time and commitment—commitment to your self and commitment to love and to truth. It's not easy to be completely real and authentic all the time. It takes humility and a healthy degree of knowledge and understanding.

If you are inspired by the possibility of turning ALL your relationships into a powerful path to self-liberation, inner peace, and happiness then I invite you to gain the necessary skills to make that happen. My role as Conscious Relationship Counselor is to give you the tools, the perspectives, and the understandings necessary to create a powerful relationship to life, to other people, to yourself, and to your intimate partner.

If you are currently in a relationship then under most circumstances I would suggest it is wise for you to both work with me together. If you are on your own then we can work toward discovering powerful tools that will take your next intimate relationship to new levels—sexually, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

I can assure that our work together will be unlike anything else you have experienced. It is certainly not equivalent to seeing a psychology based relationship or marriage counselor. What you will learn and gain through our interaction is a set up very practical and deeply meaningful understandings and perspectives that will give you an entirely different appreciation of what relationship is really all about.
