Celebrate Valentine’s Day with your true love – Romance Your Spirit
The relationship you have with your Spirit provides the vibrational template for all other relationships. The stronger the conscious connection between you and your Spirit, the stronger and healthier your relationships with other human beings will be. If you want a strong relationship with another person, make sure your primary The relationship you have with your Spirit is as strong as it can first be, and you will draw to yourself a reflection of that relationship in the form of a relationship with a fellow human. Even if you are already in a romantic relationship with another person, the principle still applies: the stronger your relationship with your Spirit, the healthier all your relationships will be. By putting your relationship with your Spirit first, even your current less-than-satisfying relationships can be transformed.
Everything you want in a partner is already yours in your Spirit: inexhaustible love, attention, affection, wisdom, support, humor, fun, fidelity, loyalty. Your Spirit is the perfect provider, gift-giver, and initiator of the most romantic gestures (what human lover and his florist could compete with a field of wildflowers or a sky full of stars?). None of the things we consider to be signs of Love actually come from another person; they all come from you, allowing more and more generosity of your Spirit. And the more you appreciate and give thanks for the abundant blessings your Spirit continually bestows, the more magnetic you will become to those things and the more likely they will be reflected in your human relationships. Furthermore, by accepting all of this fully from your Spirit, you will feel less needy and the healthier human connections you establish will be.
You and your Spirit are actually inseparable: you are One, so it may seem a bit strange to consider your Spirit as an entity to interact with. The ultimate goal is to achieve the God Consciousness that your Spirit enjoys. But unless you have transcended duality and are constantly seeing things from the vibrational level of this divine You (in which case, I’d be surprised if you were reading this!), you can benefit from honoring your Spirit, relating to your Spirit as a lover, and even doing what you really don’t want to do with another human being: have a codependent relationship with your Spirit!
When you are in love with a human being, there are certain customs that you can follow. Try to do for your Spirit what you could do for someone you are in love with, because in reality it is always the Love that emanates from your own Spirit, catalyzed by that other human being, that you are experiencing! Valentine’s Day, although it was created as a commercial holiday, has become a day where we officially declare our feelings for the object of our affections. Since our primary relationship is with our Spirit, what better focus for our expressions of Love? Even if you are in a romantic relationship with another human being, consider making this Valentine’s Day a special day to be especially mindful and forthcoming with your Spirit, and to allow your Spirit to provide you with wonderful surprises. Here are some things you can do to celebrate your relationship with the true love of your life:
- Write a love letter to your Spirit, full of appreciation. If you feel like buying a card for this, have fun choosing one. After all, all the syrupy, codependent feelings in the cards about eternal love and such fit your relationship with the One who never, ever lets you down much more precisely than relationships with even the most wonderful human beings.
- Receive a love letter from your Spirit (you’ll probably have to take dictation, after all, yours ARE the hands of your Spirit!) Don’t block any words of appreciation that stem from modesty or shaky self-esteem. You don’t need to edit Spirit’s words, just write them down and enjoy them like you would a letter from a human lover!
- Go on a special date with your Spirit. Just you two. (Maybe it’s more accurate to say the “One” of you!) Let it be an adventure, even if it’s something as mundane as going out for a chai latte, or browsing in a bookstore, or both. (Bookstores are great places for appointments with your Spirit, as Spirit can cause books to call your attention with special messages.) While on your appointment, pay attention to special signs of love and affection from your Spirit, such as a bird perched nearby, diamond sparkles of sunlight on the water, a message on a billboard, or a special sign that only you would recognize. Why not consider all of nature as a special sign of the Love of your Spirit?! And be prodigal in your praise and appreciation for your Spirit. When a great parking spot magically opens up, or the sun rises, say “thank you!” promptly and with great enthusiasm! In fact, just say “thank you” for no particular reason. The more you say thank you, the more you will notice saying thank you!
- Buy your Spirit some beautiful flowers, and since you are the eyes and nose of your Spirit, appreciate the flowers in Spirit’s name!
- Give yourself a gift in the name of your Spirit. Let your Spirit choose the gift, and you pay for it and deliver it (after all, you are the hands and feet of your Spirit).
- Make Love with your Spirit. No, no, I’m not talking about that kind of love, although you can explore that too, if you get inspired! What I am suggesting is consciously and purposefully radiating love from the center of your heart, not to anyone or anything in particular, but impersonally and unconditionally. Only love flows out. When you do this, you are automatically receiving Love from your Spirit, as that is where it comes from. In the process, you raise your vibrational frequency and are closer to being a complete vibrational match with your Spirit, the key to experiencing the true happiness you have been searching for.
So go ahead and write on your calendar for February 14: “Romance My Spirit” Day. It may be the best Valentine’s Day of your life.
