Relationships and the law of attraction

Hello there it's Ed and I'd like to talk a little about what I am doing for the new product that we are working on. We are working on a law of attraction series, and I am working on a relationships affirmation that uses the law of attraction. It all started with a conversation with a friend- we were driving together on business and passing the time when we started talking about our relationships. My friend was going through some very hard times with his dear wife, and he was finding that he was getting angry when he talked to her. I listened for quite a while and started to hear a pattern in what he was telling me about his interactions with his wife. Please know that both this man and his wife are good, loving people, it's just that lately they are not very happy together.

I tried not to give advice, because I didn't want to do that, but I did talk about a similar situation with my marriage, and how I dealt with that. We did have something in common in our relationship experiences. Essentially, it boiled down to keeping my side of the street clean, and supporting the other person in a difficult time- that's right- supporting and loving the person you are having conflict with! What a concept! In my case I noticed that resentment was taking me over. It took a while, but I started to feel- to know- the feeling of resentment and consciously changed my thoughts every time I had the "resentment feeling." I imagined my resentments going away and happy thoughts filling their place. I became the person I most wanted to be with- someone who is loving, supporting, and caring... Someone who was loving enough to let go and get out of the other person's way long enough for each of us to find out what our needs were at the time. You know what? Things got better for both of us. Does that sound like attracting what I want for a change?

So you ask what would be a good affirmation for being the person (or at least having the qualities of the person) that you most want to be with? Take a minute and visualize that person you most appreciate right this moment. What qualities come to mind first? Do they include Compassion? Playfulness? Openness? Joy? That is what comes to me. By visualizing that person I can see the things that I would like to bring to my relationship the most- even when there is conflict. Sure, we have differences of opinion, but that rarely matters for the lasting things in life. What remains most constant is the love that underlies relationships. The affirmation that I came up with is:

I bring to my relationships compassion, playfulness, openness, and joy so that others may do the same.

I encourage you to try this affirmation out, and visualize yourself this way. Visualize your loved ones this way. Hey, I didn't say it would be easy at first! Keep it going until you feel good about the visualization and can recall it easily. You can do it! Tell me how it goes. I know that those of us that desire to make our relationships happy, and our love life sizzle can and will succeed.

All the best to you are your loved ones,
Ed.
