If there was one thing you could do to heal your relationships, would you do it?

I’ve discovered that there really is one major cause of relationship problems—one issue that if you address and heal, changes everything.

The one cause: self-abandonment.

When you abandon yourself emotionally, physically, spiritually, financially, relationally and/or organizationally, you automatically make your partner responsible for you. Once you make another person responsible for your feelings of self-worth and well being, then you attempt to manipulate that person into loving you, approving of you and giving you what you want. The controlling behavior that results from self-abandonment creates huge relationship problems.

Let’s look at the various forms of self-abandonment and how they result in relationship conflict and power struggles, or in distance and disconnection.

Emotional self-abandonment.

When we were growing up, many of us experienced much loneliness, heartache, heartbreak and helplessness. These are very big feelings, and unless we had loving parents or caregivers who helped us through these feelings—rather than being the cause of them—we had to find strategies to avoid them.

We learned four major ways of avoiding these core painful feelings of life, and these four ways now create our feelings of anxiety, depression, guilt, shame and anger, as well as relationship problems.

1. We judge ourselves rather than accept ourselves.

Did you learn to judge yourself as a way to try to get yourself to do things “right” so that others would like you? Self-judgment creates much anxiety, depression, guilt, shame and emptiness, and can lead to many addictions in order to avoid these feelings. Self-judgment also leads to needing others’ approval to feel worthy, and your resulting controlling behaviors to gain others’ approval can lead to many relationship problems.

2. We ignore our feelings by staying up in our head rather than being present in our body.

When you have not learned how to manage your feelings, you want to avoid them. Do you find yourself focused in your head rather than in your body, more or less unaware of your feelings?

We emotionally connect with each other from our hearts and souls, not from our heads. When you stay in your head as a way to avoid responsibility for your feelings, you cannot emotionally connect with your partner.

3. We turn to various addictions to numb the anxiety, depression, emptiness, guilt, shame and anger that develops when we judge ourselves and ignore our feelings.

Addictive behavior, such too much alcohol, drugs, food, TV, gambling, overspending, work, sex and so on, can create much conflict and distance in relationships.

4. We make our partner or others responsible for our feelings.

When we emotionally abandon ourselves, we then believe it is someone else’s job to make us feel loved and worthy. Do you try to control your partner with anger, blame, criticism, compliance, resistance or withdrawal to get him or her to give you what you are not giving to yourself? How does your partner respond to this controlling behavior?

Many relationships fall into a dysfunctional system, such as one person getting angry and the other withdrawing or resisting, or both getting angry or both withdrawing. In some systems, one is angry and the other is compliant, which seems to work until the compliant partner becomes resentful. In all of these systems, each person is emotionally abandoning themselves, which is the root cause of the dysfunctional relationship.

Financial self-abandonment.

If you refuse to take care of yourself financially, instead expecting your partner to take financial responsibility for you, this can create problems. This is not a problem if your partner agrees to take financial responsibility for you and you fully accept how he or she handles this responsibility. But if you choose to be financially irresponsible, such as overspending, or you try to control how your partner earns or manages the money, much conflict can occur over your financial self-abandonment.

Organizational self-abandonment.

If you refuse to take responsibility for your own time and space, and instead are consistently late and/or a clutterer, and your partner is an on-time and/or a neat person, this can create huge power struggles and resentment in your relationship.

Physical self-abandonment.

If you refuse to take care of yourself physically by eating badly and not exercising, possibly causing yourself severe health problems, your partner may feel resentful by having to take care of you. Your physical self-abandonment not only has negative consequences for you regarding your health and well being, it also has unwanted consequences for your partner, which can lead to conflict and power struggles.

Relational self-abandonment.

If you refuse to speak up for yourself in your relationship, and instead become complacent or resistant, you are eroding the love in the relationship. When you abandon yourself to another through compliance or resistance, you create a lack of trust that leads to conflict, disconnection and resentment.

Spiritual self-abandonment.

When you make your partner your source of love rather than learning to turn to a spiritual source for your dependable source of love, you place a very unfair burden on your partner. When your intent in the relationship is to get love rather than to share love, then you will unfairly lean on your partner for attention, approval, time or sex. When you do not take responsibility for learning how to connect with a spiritual source of your own for sustenance, your neediness can create relationship problems.

Spiritual self-abandonment is related to emotional self-abandonment, in that you cannot commit to 100% responsibility for yourself without a strong connection with a spiritual source of love and wisdom.

Learn to love yourself rather than abandon yourself.

Learning to love yourself is the key to a loving relationship. When you learn to connect with a personal source of spiritual guidance and access the love and wisdom that is always within you, you learn to fill yourself up with love. While self-abandonment creates an inner emptiness that relies on others to fill you, self-love creates an inner fullness. Self-love fills your heart and soul with overflowing love so that, rather than always trying to get love, you can now share your love with your partner.

Essential Oils: Dilution and How to use them?

 

Did you know that pure essential oils are 1000 times more potent than their leafy counterparts? That’s why diluting them with another substance, such as a carrier oil, lotion or shampoo, is so important.

Since essential oils are so highly concentrated, when they come into direct contact with your skin, they can cause sensitization which generally results in a rash. It’s important to note that once sensitization to a specific essential oil is developed, it can potentially be permanent and could effect your reaction to other essential oils. Occasionally, respiratory problems or anaphylactic shock can occur. Diluting essential oils is the best way to avoid these possible reactions, while still experiencing the vast benefits of using essential oils.

Another perk of dilution is financial. Diluting essential oils gets you more bang for your buck by not having to restock your supply as frequently.

A good number to keep in mind when diluting is 2% (1% for the elderly, pregnant women and children); this means you should add up to 12 drops of essential oil to each fluid oz. of carrier oil, water or cream you use (up to 6 drops for a 1% dilution). Dilutions of 3% or higher should be used seldomly and only for “spot” treatments, which is when they're applied to small areas rather than the entire body.

Since droppers can sometimes vary from oil to oil, some people like to use more finite measurements. In this case, a 2% dilution is approximately 1/8 tsp. essential oil per fluid oz. of carrier. The important thing is to find the method that makes you feel comfortable and safe, because using essential oils should be a worry-free experience.

Below is a my favorit of some of ther commonly used carrier oils.Some oils are better geared to certain skin types and conditions, so take that into consideration when selecting the best one for you!

 

Almond: One of the most useful, practical and widely used oils. Soothes, softens and rehydrates the skin in face and body care lotions and potions.

THE HISTORY OF METAPHYSICS IS THE STUDY OF THE TRUE NATURE OF WHAT WE CALL REALITY.

THE HISTORY OF METAPHYSICS IS THE STUDY OF THE TRUE NATURE OF WHAT WE CALL REALITY. IN THE PAST, THE METAPHYSICAL MOVEMENT WAS CONSIDERED TO BE ONLY "WOO WOO" CARNIVAL STUFF, TAROT CARDS, CRYSTALS, HOCUS POCUS USED TO ENTERTAIN PEOPLE BUT HAD NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE THAT COULD BE APPLIED TO REAL LIFE. BEFORE WE HAD SCIENCE STUDYING THE TRUE NATURE OF REALITY, IT WAS A PHILOSOPHICAL ADVENTURE.  MEN AND WOMEN STUDIED AND OBSERVED THE WORLD AROUND THEM.  THEY TOOK NOTE OF PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND WOULD ATTEMPT TO DRAW CONCLUSIONS ON THEMSELVES AND THEIR PLACE IN THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE.  THEN THEY WOULD COMMUNICATE THEIR OBSERVATIONS WHICH THEY HAD EXPERIENCED WITH LIKE-MINDED OTHERS. ARISTOTLE, THE FAMOUS GREEK PHILOSOPHER, WROTE MANY BOOKS ON NATURE AND PHILOSOPHY, POSING MANY THEORIES AND PLANTING NEW IDEAS AND THOUGHTS.  HIS BOOK WAS PUBLISHED BY A SECOND GREEK PHILOSOPHER AND IN THIS BOOK, PHYSICAL NATURE AND PHILOSOPHICAL OBSERVATIONS,  WERE BUNDLED TOGETHER.  PUT TOGETHER,  THESE PREMISES BECAME WHAT IS KNOWN AS METAPHYSICS. NEXT, SCIENCE TOOK THE LEAD BELIEVING IN ONLY A SOLID PHYSICAL WORLD THAT ONE COULD TOUCH, EXPLAIN, AND SEE AS THE ONLY REAL WORLD.  ANYTHING THAT COULDN'T BE SEEN, TOUCHED, OR MEASURED WAS DISMISSED.  ANY QUESTIONS COULD BE DISMISSED WITH A CLOSE-MINDED SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION.  LATER, SCIENCE BROUGHT TOGETHER THE MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL REALMS AND THESE BECAME "PSYCHOLOGICAL".  STILL THIS COULD NOT ACCOUNT FOR MANY IMPORTANT THINGS THAT MATTERED:  RELIGION, SPIRITUALITY, AND THE MEANING OF OUR LIVES.  THESE THINGS REMAINED OUTSIDE THE REALM OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY AND EXPLANATION AND WERE, THEREFORE, CONSIDERED TO BE METAPHYSICAL AND ONCE AGAIN "NOT REAL". "META" TOOK ON A NEW MEANING:  ANYTHING OUTSIDE OR BEYOND THE REALM OF SCIENTIFIC WAS, THEREFORE, NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY, IT WAS STILL CONSIDERED "AIRY-FAIRY".  THEN THINGS BEGAN TO CHANGE!  ALONG CAME QUANTUM SCIENCE, QUANTUM THEORY, PHYSICS, AND MECHANICS.  SCIENTISTS OBSERVED AND MEASURED SUBATOMIC SCALES OF PHYSICAL MATTER.  SCIENTISTS FOUND THE SO-CALLED "PHYSICAL WORLD" IS TRULY NOT PHYSICAL!  ALL OF A SUDDEN METAPHYSICS CAME INTO THE CENTER OF THE SCIENTIFIC CIRCUS!  NOW, EVERYTHING IN REALITY IS CONSIDERED NOT PHYSICAL BUT BEYOND PHYSICAL!  THIS NEW "DISCOVERY" HAS DEFINED OUR ENTIRE EXISTENCE AND LIFE EXPERIENCES AS METAPHYSICAL!! IT IS NOW KNOWN AND ACCEPTED, THAT METAPHYSICS IS THE STUDY OF OUR TRUE NATURE IN REALITY.  WE HAVE FOUND PHYSICAL MATTER IS NOT PHYSICAL!  IT IS MADE UP OF ENERGY AND INFORMATION WHICH IS INTERPRETED AND EXPERIENCED IN THE MIND AS SOLID PHYSICAL REALITY.  THOUGHTS ARE MORE THAN WORDS AND IDEAS FORMED IN OUR HEADS.  "THOUGHTS" MAY BE THE DNA OF THE UNIVERSE GIVING FORM TO EVERYTHING WE EXPERIENCE WITH OUR MIND.  FEELINGS IN THE HEART ARE THE CORE TO OUR CREATIVE ABILITIES GIVING SUBSTANCE TO OUR THOUGHTS AND MEANING TO OUR LIVES IN WHAT WE EXPERIENCE IN OUR MINDS.   THIS KNOWLEDGE IS STAGGERING CHANGING EVERYTHING ABOUT THE WHOLE WORLD AND WHO WE ARE AND THE TRUE NATURE OF A PHYSICAL CREATIVE PROCESS.  THIS IS REFERRED TO AS "CAUSE AND EFFECT". THE INTEREST AND APPLICATION IN METAPHYSICS GREW LEAPS AND BOUNDS AND MANY OF US BEGAN TO WAKE UP TO THE TRUE NATURE OF THE WORLD AROUND US AND THE ROLE WE PLAY WITHIN IT.  WE ARE NO LONGER ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL, NOT VICTIMS OF PREDETERMINED AND RANDOM THOUGHTS IN THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE, WE ARE NOW SEEING THE WORLD FOR WHAT IT REALLY IS:  A SYSTEM OF THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, AND EMOTIONS MANIFESTING AS EXPERIENCES IN OUR MIND.  WE ARE NOW BEGINNING TO REMEMBER WHO WE REALLY ARE:  THE SPIRIT AND THE SOUL THAT EACH OF US ARE EXPERIENCING IS ONE MIND TOTALLY UNIQUE AND NOT TO BE REPLICATED EXCEPT AS THE POINT OF VIEW OF ONES' PERCEPTION. METAPHYSICS IS THE NEW SCIENCE OF NOW!  IT'S A SYSTEM OF THOUGHT AND FEELING THAT SEES THE UNIVERSE IN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT AND IS THE OCEAN, SPACE, ENERGY, AND INTELLIGENCE THAT REALLY EXISTS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITHIN US AND WITHOUT US. WITH THIS EXPERIENCE, THE UNIVERSE IS US AS WE ARE THE UNIVERSE!  THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT, THERE ARE NO LIMITS EXCEPT THE ONES THAT WE CREATE WHICH ENABLE US TO LIVE IN WHAT WE CALL A PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE.   WHAT BEGAN AS PHILOSOPHY AND WAS PUSHED ASIDE AS USELESS, STRANGE, A BASELESS FANTASY HAS NOW BECOME NEW SCIENCE!  STILL IN ITS INFANCY WITH AN EXCITING LONG WAY TO GO! IF YOU'RE BEGINNING THIS NEW JOURNEY, OR YOU HAVE BEEN WITH IT FOR AWHILE, WELCOME TO A NEW LIFE TO COME!  YOU ARE SURE TO FIND SOMETHING NEW AND OF INFINITE VALUE IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO EXPLORE IT.
