On 31 March 2020 I wrote what I want to manifest in a romantic love relationship, but I didn't publish. I would like to share it with you. First, I would like to say that I manifested this love six months later. My new relationship has been intense, fun and of course with the occasional challenges, but that's for another day.
The content I wrote on 31 March 2020:
I have been thinking about what my ideal relationship will be like. It is not about wanting the person to be in a specific way, for example, blue eyes, blonde hair, etc. but it is about how I want to feel, how my partner will feel, and how we both feel together.
Many of us are not working currently due to the lockdown. Same here. Those that are working thank you so much for putting yourself out there to take care of us and ensure our needs are met- a big thank you to you. So, I decided to take time out to write about these feelings. I have spoken about it in the past, but I never did put it down on paper. To me, writing gives me clarity, it assists me to approach my feelings and thoughts with sincerity. And with regards to today's exercise, apart from me understanding myself, I believe that the pen and paper, inking this type of feeling, will assist in manifestation. There is no better time like now to do this- we have time to reflect and its full moon in Aries on 6 April.
I would like to be with a partner who I love unconditionally, yes not because there are reasons or if this is done or that is done, but a person who I love because we are connected on a soul level, and we now come into a divine union in this body, to have a human experience. So, of course, there will be a powerful connection of love and knowingness that cannot be explained because there will be no words in our dialect to describe it because it will be too restricting as opposed to feeling this great love.
A love where I am safe to be myself, where I am not judged, but supported, where I can speak my truth or be utterly vulnerable without it being used as ammunition against me at a later stage, where I can be having a bad day and know that I can be embraced by my partner without exchanging words or a diagnosis, but to feel their energetic warmth and love- knowing that its all okay. And yes, times where words of encouragement will be needed to steer me in the direction of my highest good, not because there is a right or wrong, but only for goodness out of love.
A love where there is self-love, self-care, journey through this life with each other, but know that we are independent, there is no co-dependency but only support from love, support to heal and grow. A love where we share love but not at the expense of giving my soul away, but standing firmly in my light and loving without conditions. Putting boundaries in place to serve our highest good in our relationship in this 3-dimensional world.
A love where we can snuggle under a blanket and binge watch tv shows, or sit under a starry night with red wine while having deep conversations until early parts of the morning losing complete track of time because all that matters is experiencing each moment with each other, or hand in hand take walks at the beach while watching the sun go down, spending time in nature- hikes, surfing, swimming, love where we can watch the sunrise with mimosas in our hands…. A love where we share the love of travel- be spontaneous and carefree.
A love where my ideas and thoughts are challenged too, showing me to be more open-minded. A love that gently reminds me of when I am not honoring my truth.
A common interest of ascension or living in one’s light and truth.
A love with intense sexual chemistry, not just physically but spiritually, on a soul level such that when I look into this person's eyes, I see their soul, and we connect on that level.
A love where we can have a dog, a cat as an addition to the relationship, and maybe even a child…create our own family.
A love with sincerity to self and each other. A romance with respect to self and each other.
A love with an abundance of love, care, finances, travel, good health…basically everything that I have mentioned above.
A love where I feel 'home.'
A love where I can share my completeness.
So, get some paper, a pen set some time aside (if you are limited, set a timer, put your phone on silent and away from you. No music.) Take a few deep breaths, set the intention to explore what you would like to feel in a relationship and start writing, let it flow, put down the first thoughts, don't overthink it, even if it doesn't make sense, just write.
I would like to share with you a marriage ceremony vows by Neale Donald Walsch:
CEREMONY BY NEALE DONALD WALSCH
OPENING: Minister: Tom and Katie have not come here today to make a solemn promise or to exchange a sacred vow. Tom and Katie have come here to make public their love for each other; to give notice to their truth; to declare their choice to live and partner and grow together – out loud and in Your presence, out of their desire that we will all come to feel a very real and intimate part of their decision, and thus make it even more powerful.
They’ve also come here today in the further hope that their ritual of bonding will help bring us all closer together. If you are here today with a spouse or partner, let this ceremony be a reminder – a re-dedication of your own loving bond. We’ll begin by asking the question: Why get married? Tom and Katie have answered this question for themselves, and they’ve told me their answer. Now I want to ask them one more time, so they can be sure of their answer, certain of their understanding, and firm in their commitment to the truth they share.
CEREMONY OF ROSES: [Minister holds two red roses.] This is the Ceremony of Roses, in which Tom and Katie share their understandings, and commemorate that sharing. Tom and Katie, you have told me it is your firm understanding that you are not entering into this marriage for reasons of security – that the only real security is not owning or possessing, nor in being owned or possessed – not with demands or expectations – not even hoping – that what you think you need in life will be supplied by the other, but rather, in knowing that that everything you need in life – all the love, all the wisdom, all the insight, all the power, all the knowledge, all the understanding, all the nurturing, all the compassion and all the truth resides within you. …that you are not marrying each other in the hope of getting these things, but in hopes ofgiving these gifts, that your partner might have them in greater abundance. Is that your firm understanding today? [They respond “It is.”] Minister: Tom and Katie, you have told me it is your firm understanding you are not entering into this marriage as a means of in any way limiting, controlling, hindering or restricting each other from any true expression and honest celebration of that which is the highest and best within you – including your love of God, your love of life, your love of people, your love of creativity, your love of work orany aspect of Your being which genuinely represents you and brings you joy. Is that still your resolute understanding today? [They say: “It is.”] Finally, Tom and Katie, you have said to me that you do not see marriage as producing obligations, but rather as providing opportunities – opportunities for growth, for full Self-expression, for lifting your lives to their highest potential, for healing every false thought or small ideas you ever had about yourself, and for ultimate reunion with God through the communion of your two souls – that this is truly a Holy Communion – a journey through life with one you love as an equal partner, sharing equally both the authority and the responsibilities inherent in any partnership, bearing equally what burdens there may be, basking equally in the glories. Is that the vision you wish to enter into now? I now give you these red roses, symbolizing your individual understanding of the matters we have just spoken of; that you both know and agree how life will be within the structure of marriage as you intend it. Give these roses now to each other as a symbol of your sharing these agreements and understandings, with love and tenderness. Now, please take a white rose. [Minister gives each a rose.] It is a symbol of your larger understandings, of your spiritual nature and your spiritual truth. They represent the purity of your Real and Highest Self, and of the purity of God’s Love, which shines upon you now, and always.
VOWS & EXCHANGE OF RINGS: What symbols do you bring as a reminder of the promises given and received today? [Minister holds rings in her hand] A circle is a symbol of the Sun, and the Earth, and the Universe. It is a symbol of holiness, and of perfection and peace. It is also the symbol of the eternality of spiritual truth, love and life – that which has no beginning and no end. And in this moment, Tom and Katie choose for it to also be a symbol of unity, but not of possession; of joining, but not of restricting; of encirclement, but not of entrapment. For love cannot be possessed, nor can it be restricted. For your souls are eternally free. Now Tom and Katie, please take these rings you wish to give, one to the other. [Couple takes each other’s rings.] Tom, please repeat after me. I, Tom, ask You ,Katie, to be my partner, my lover, my friend, and my wife. I announce and declare my intentions to give you my deepest friendship and love, Not only when you are feeling great, But when you are down Not only when you remember Who You Really Are, But when you forget Not only when you are acting with love But when you are not. I further announce, Before God and those here present, That I will seek always To see the Light of Divinity within you And seek always to share the Light of Divinity within me, Even, and especially, In whatever moments of darkness may come. It is my intention to be with you forever, In a Holy Partnership of the Soul, That we may do together God’s work Sharing all that is good within us With all those whose lives we touch. [Minister turns to Katie] Katie, do you choose to grant Tom’s request that you be his wife? Katie – “I do.” Now, Katie, please repeat after me: I, Katie, ask you, Tom, to be my partner, my lover, my friend, and my husband. I announce and declare my intentions to give you my deepest friendship and love, Not only when you are feeling great, But when you are down Not only when you remember Who You Really Are, But when you forget Not only when you are acting with love But when you are not. I further announce, Before God and those here present, That I will seek always To see the Light of Divinity within you And seek always to share the Light of Divinity within me, Even, and especially, In whatever moments of darkness may come. It is my intention to be with you forever, In a Holy Partnership of the Soul, That we may do together God’s work Sharing all that is good within us With all those whose lives we touch. [Minister turns to Tom] Tom, do You choose to grant Katie’s request that you be her husband? Tom – “I do.” Please, now take hold of the rings you would give each other, and repeat after me: With this ring, I thee wed…I take now the ring you give to me [couple exchanges rings] and place it upon my hand…[they place the rings on their hands] that all may see and know… of my love for you.
CLOSING: We recognize with full awareness that only a couple can administer the sacrament of marriage to each other, and only a couple can sanctify it. Neither my church, nor any power vested in me by the State, can grant me the authority to declare what only two hearts can declare, and what only two souls can make real. And so now, inasmuch as you, Katie and You, Tom, have announce the truths that are already written in your hearts, and have witnessed the same in the presence of these, your friends, and the One Living Spirit – we observe joyfully that you have declared yourselves to be …husband and wife. Let us now join in prayer. Spirit of Love and Life: out of this whole world, these two souls have found each other. Their destinies shall now be woven into one design, and their challenges and their joys shall be known together. Tom and Katie, may your home be a place of happiness for all who enter it; a place where the old and the young are renewed in each other’s company, a place for growing and a place for sharing, a place for music and a place for laughter, a place for prayer and a place for love. May those who are nearest to you be constantly enriched by the beauty and the bounty of your love for one another, may your works be the joys of your life that serve the world, and may your days be good and long upon the Earth. Amen, and amen.
