Acceptance or Transformation?

I wonder about the distinction between acceptance and taking a stand for transformation. To love someone fully, is to accept who they are and who they are not, learning to receive the gifts that the relationship offers and seek connection where it can happen. There are individuals who model acceptance for me and then there are others who model taking a stand for transformation. When do we accept someone as they are and when do we request change in our relationships with others. The answer seems clear in today's meditation; in that daily spiritual connection is the foundation on which all clarity comes. What might be right for one, may need a different tact for another. Blessings to you on your journey of acceptance in relationships. Love, Sally

Listen to our ancient knowing and trust.

Wisdom of Mary Magdalene

“We come to you now to aid and honor what is most dear to your heart. What is dear to your heart is dear to ours. It is all part of your soul’s work to do. Creating a sacred and powerful marriage is also a part of your soul’s work to do. This is the most important and significant place to bring our healing energy and wisdom. Listen to our ancient knowing and trust.

You want to change your partner. Your energy to make him different goes against the natural rhythm of transformation. Your desire to change, and your resistance to what is, adds strength to the very energy you want to transform.

First, welcome the energy as it is. Welcome your partner’s wounded dynamic and yours as it interacts together. Welcome the hurt, frustration and the challenge. It is here. We will join forces to transform.

Next, stand for yourself in your family relationships. As a place to stand, there is clarity and power.

Lastly, be aware of your intentions. Allow yourself compassion for his wound, but let not its energy seep into the intention for healing and empowerment. Your intention is most important.

Stay clear and detached from the swirling pain and energy of his wounded places and your own wounded places. Open yourself to creating an avenue of new possibility and a path to freedom. Ask us to join you. Trust the power of your intention. Trust the power of your commitment and desire to make a new way. Accepting exactly what is, as it is, actually begins the transformation process. Allow the transformation to happen by first accepting it as it is.”
