“In the New Era, relationships undergo a fundamental transformation. Relationships often evoke strong emotions within you, ranging from great joy to deep agony. In your relationships, you may become aware of inner pain that is much older than your human experience.”— Pamela Kribbe, 2005 Below, I present Pamela Kribbe’s ideas on this very important topic, […]
Being able to openly express our emotions, and especially the most difficult ones, is crucial for our mental and physical health. Painful emotions do not disappear if they are suppressed or denied. Instead, they become unconscious, sinking into our bodies where they manifest in the form of physical symptoms or illness. Our relationships suffer as […]
Why in systemic psychotherapy there are no “ill individuals,” but ill relationships There is one school in psychotherapy that I have not written about in my blog so far, yet one to which I owe an enormous amount – systemic psychotherapy. When I first encountered it, I was deeply impressed by its paradigm for understanding […]
In perfect accordance with the principle of synchronicity, a friend recently sent me a TED video—a presentation by Brené Brown. Those who have read my previous post about “The Way Forward and the Way Back“ will easily recognize in her talk a clear example of how “The Turn” happens—and what transformation looks like once we […]
“Before reading A Course in Miracles, I had studied many spiritual and philosophical works. I felt they led me to a vast staircase toward a majestic cathedral in my mind, but as soon as I reached the stairs, the church door turned out to be locked. The Course gave me the key that opened the […]
Here’s an idea from Stephen Covey on how to “get rich” – start accumulating assets in a so-called “emotional bank account.” This is the metaphor he uses to describe how much trust has been built up in a relationship and which measures “the sense of security you have with another person”.
“Anything less than Win-Win in an interdependent reality is a compromise that will take its toll on long-term relationships. And the price of this compromise should not be forgotten. ‘Win-Win or No Deal’ provides great emotional freedom in family relationships as well. If there is no consensus on something, it is better for everyone to […]
Life as a dance is a beautiful metaphor that spontaneously gives rise to ideas about how to live it. This is exactly what Leyla Imm has done, whose text, translated by Petya Stoyanova from Russian, I am now “paying forward.” There are things we know very well, yet it is good to be reminded of […]
Here’s more by Pamela Kribbe about breaking the negative bonds of dependency on our parents: “To be really free and to regain your mastership as an independent spiritual being, you have to let go of your birth family. You have to let go of them, not only as their child but also as their parent. […]
This is a continuation of the theme from the previous post regarding “The Sword of Discernment” and its application in healing our relationship with our family of origin. Once again, I will use a quote from Pamela Kribbe’s book, “The Jeshua Channelings”: *“When you embark on the path of spiritual growth, at some point this […]
“…premature reconciliation and forgiveness hinder constructive dialogue when they cover up or postpone conflict and leave its consequences to the other family members. This is particularly destructive when the one who was wronged attempts to release the offender from his or her guilt, as if victims had such power. When reconciliation is necessary, the person […]
In systemic constellations and the work of their creator, Bert Hellinger, there is a perspective that is perhaps less popular but certainly worth reflecting upon. As I shared in the article regarding Personal Conscience, one of the three basic needs that maintain human relationships in a healthy state is the balance between giving and taking. […]
