A friend and I were talking on the phone the other day and she was telling me about an impactful counseling session she and her spouse had. What she said has stuck with me as being so powerful that I want to share it with all of you.
When you have an issue between you and someone else, something you don't agree on but something that has to be dealt with, instead of allowing the issue to exist between you, move it out in front of you so you face it together, side by side. Brilliant!
Here's a way I thought of to make this practical. Write the issue down on a piece of paper. Put the piece of paper between you, facing one another. Now take the piece of paper together, turn so you are sitting side by side, and put the issue out in front of you. Now you are working on it together rather than having it be something that comes between you and causes friction.
Just think if we could do this between political parties - work on issues together instead of having them be what separates us. What if parents could do this with their children? What if bosses and employees could do this? My imagination just explodes with the possibilities for healing, manifesting, and loving.
