Relationships allow us to grow and evolve. In fact relationship serves its purpose for mirroring and giving us feedback on how we are doing in our process of becoming. What we aim to do at Charles & Shakira Unlimited is support individuals in experiencing conscious relationships. This is where people choose for a state of awareness what they are participating in. We want for you to design your relationships, to hold a vision for your relationships and ultimately to actively participate in becoming the best you so that your relationships may flourish naturally. Relationships were not designed to be easy but with the proper tools they can be quiet rewarding.
I have been thinking
Lately about the amount of time spent getting to know others. The consistent strife to find out what another person is thinking or doing, the constant trying to be in the know game. I was sitting at a graduation yesterday that Charles had to address the graduates. The group of friends next to me never spoke a word to each other. They were busy on their phones watching videos (without a headset I might add) or text messaging. Charles and I got into the conversation of why this was so. Is the person next to you not your friend? Do you not find them interesting?

When we think of just being – whatever is happening is happening as me

When we speak of transformation by renewing the mind
We speak of the instantaneous or gradual process of consciously changing thought patterns until the subconscious surrenders its old pattern for the new. Changing subjective thought patterns by supplying spiritual ideas will create new conditions in body and affairs and this is what we all seek. All the theory in the world is useless unless we know how to apply it and make a change.
The basic principles for practical application of changing are:
1. Continued willingness to let go of the past
2. Controlling what we think about all day
3. Learning how forgiveness of self and others releases us from the past and brings about physical healing

The question is……
Where and how do we begin to create an environment that cultivates evolutionary support and partnership?
Begin by asking yourself these important questions: –
1. Of everyone I know with whom can I really be my highest self?
2. Among my friends, family and colleagues, who truly shares my deepest values and highest spiritual aspirations?
3. Do I have any social structures in my life in which I feel free to stretch myself and my relationships beyond my comfort zones? To reach into new territory without being concerned that I’ll rock the boat or scare others off in my efforts to awaken and evolve?

Yesterday we celebrated a day set aside where the awareness of love is heighten and those who have the form of love they desire are happy and those who don’t have the form of love they desire are sadden. No matter what category you into, I suggest that if you truly want to know that love is, give your attention to the greatest love of all – Self love.
Learn to be your own valentine. “Healthy, Inspiring, Purposeful people know that loving oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. Be H.I.P. Learn to romance yourself more.” Why? Well, H.I.P. individuals know that you can only give and receive love from and to others only to the degree that you give and receive love from and to yourself. So it behooves us to love ourselves enough so that we can in turn loves others enough. One of the ways to do this is by practicing extreme self-care. This involves:

The mornings when I am reminded to be still seem to be the day when clarity seeks to emerge. When the path for my desires look me in the eyes and say here I am at your beckon call. What will you do now?
The whole of life experiences exist solely in this moment. How I choose to react in this moment will define how life shows up in the next moment. Okay I get this Spirit and…..
Humbly I recognize that the space of transformation takes courage and oh so much humility, righteous positions crumble to the voice of my Divinity and then I empty and return to my breathe. The little “coincidences” and miracles that use to jolt me for weeks now takes a day and then I remember who I am.

“You can’t reach for anything new if your hands are still full of yesterday’s junk.” ~ Louise Smith
Now if your time to release and let go. Open the palm of your hands and allow the grip you hold to loosen. Now is the time for a new YOU to emerge. Yes, NOW! Your highest potential is seeking an outlet into expression and that outlet can only be found when you release the junk of yesterday.
The junk of yesterdays are the things that no longer serve you. This junk limits you to the past. It keeps you stuck and unmovable without the possibility of new experiences and opportunities. Some of the junk that we tend to hold on to is unforgiveness, unhealthy relationships, grudges, hurts and miscommunication. We get to wound up in the junk that our emotions and triggers are constantly on.
