Spirit Guide Connection:

Message from Spirit, a deceased loved one:  As I watch you move underneath the moon…I whisper you words so softly…Raise your hands to heaven and pray that we’ll be back together some day…I love you.

Affirmation :

Relationship. This month seems to be filled with a lot of anxiety for many. February flew by and now feel stunned we are in the first week in March. Many of us are questioning and thinking about our relationship. Even though we may not realize, we all yearn for a real enchanted love and passion. Marriage, too often and even some relationships, are not. Marriage is among other things very convenient, and convenience can be a very good thing. But too much convenience, too much definition, too much routine, can be the death of love.

Too many marriages squeeze the love affair out of the house, and that is one of the reasons we see so many people fleeing from that house as though they’re running for their lives! Bills, Children, money, decisions, and petty arguments are too often allowed to block the romantic view of things. Why struggle to see the depths of a person when only his or her shallow self is expected home for dinner? Enchantment begins to disappear, when life on the edge gives way to life in an eternally boring center.

The challenge for married people, then, is to not let the practicalities of life overwhelm the romance of their relationship. It takes CONSCIOUS EFFORT to protect the temple space of an enchanted love. No matter how great the marriage, no matter how much people love their spouses, there is often a sense coming from married people that an essential element of freedom is missing from their lives. (I am starting to wonder how much a quick divorce costs? :) ) I trust freedom more than I trust rules. I think forbidden fruit is too appealing and I think the heart, when left to its own devices and honored for its own true yearnings, is good, responsible and caring of others.

Married people can do the work to keep enchantment and romance alive in their marriage. The magic of LOVE is so hard to hold onto while we are living in this world. Yet spiritual practice makes it possible. God is always available to deliver us to a world beyond the veil. When we pray in the morning, seek prayer and meditation throughout the day, and close our eyes at night with a nod in God’s direction, then rays of light break through the clouds and illumine our inner skies. I will leave you with two affirmation prayers which you can say aloud and know which one pertains to your enchanted love.* Blessings to all of you this month.

Dear God, We surrender this relationship to you

and ask that it be used for your purposes

May our resources and talents

and energies and love

be pooled and lifted up in your service

May we become together

even more than we are apart

May the light around us

forever shine

May the space of our love

be a space for healing

for ourselves and all the world .Amen

Dear God, I have lost my love

I feel as though my heart is broken

and will never repair

Please help me, God,

get over this.

Reveal to me the truth,

and show me,

a love that never dies. Amen
