Your Relationship Altar

Ritual is a language with which we communicate with spirit and our unconscious. Both spirit and our unconscious have enormous power and we can tap into that by cultivating a relationship through ritual.

A relationship altar can be a delightful way to honor the part of yourself that is the lover, nurturer and life partner. Consider it a shrine to that part of yourself, and a magnet to the right people to come into your life for these parts of you to dance with.

Decide on a place in your house that will be your dedicated relationship Altar. If space is not available, create a sacred box that contains a relationship book of dreams, which you treat with reverence.

Place an altar in this space that has a sacred container within it. Some aspects of your current relationship you may wish to honor on the outside, such as photos, gifts, candles and objects of beauty. However for those sacred things that feel private, place them within the enclosed areas for protection. As you honor your altar, start honoring the love that shows up in your life. Look for the smiles, the warmth of voice, the caring and consideration you feel coming from others. And honor the energy by making it safe for others to approach you in this way. Smile. Appreciate others. And stay open.

Action: Create a relationship altar as you see fit. Honor it periodically when it feels right. Define what it is you want to attract and start looking for it. Appreciate it in the small ways it may show up in your life.
