When you can find the love which is eternal, then you're soulmates. That's what a soulmate is. Its finding that love which is lasting. And yet you can be with your soulmate and not be able to recognize them because you haven't learned some of the basic skills to reconnect with your love . Cause love has a tendency to be there and disappear and be there and disappear, and there's things we can do to bring it back.

BARBARA DE ANGELIS

If your goal is truly to grow into your own state of fulfillment, then look at your singleness and ask yourself if your relationship with you isn't exactly the one that needs to grow. I believe that it's no accident if you're single. It's no accident if you're with somebody else.

DEEPAK CHOPRA

You won't find by looking. What you'll need to do, if you want a certain person with certain qualities to appear in your life, then you make a list of those qualities and you start radiating those qualities of yourself. And as a result of that, you set up a vibratory field of consciousness that reflects those qualities; it's like a magnetic field. It attracts people and events and situations and circumstances that have the same frequencies.

As a result of this you always move to a higher level and you also understand the dynamics.

REAL MOMENTS

"The Magic of Real Change is the Contented Heart" - John O'Donohue

JOHN O'DONOHUE

Now the heart of Celtic spirituality is this beautiful notion of the Anam Cara. Anam is the Gaelic word for soul, and Cara is the word for friend. Soul friend.

I think that a real friend is somebody that won't let you off the hook and will confront you time and again with the limitations that are holding you back from your full possibility. This is part of what the Anam Cara relationship means. It's a relationship based on truth, compassion and possibility, all bringing you towards the real freedom of yourself.


ERICA JONG

There's not much encouragement for the path with heart. I mean you have to seek it. You have to say OK ... now I'm on a different path. But you're going against everything society tells you, when you do that. And I think it's the only path.

THE PATH OF LOVE

"Follow your heart and you will find your treasure". - Gerard Fournier

THOMAS MOORE

People can be apparently incompatible and yet some mysterious things hold them together. So it's the mystery of the coming together, the mystery of being able to continue to stay together. What it is that holds you together ... there are two very big parts of the soulmate notion.

JOHN GRAY

It's primarily communication which will close a woman down. If she doesn't feel heard in a relationship, she will start to close down. When a woman doesn't feel safe to talk about what's bothering her, to talk about what's special to her, to talk about her life to a man, and a woman won't feel safe if he doesn't seem interested, she ... who wants to open your soul to somebody who's not interested?

BARBARA DE ANGELIS

For most people I think look at relationship as something to please them. Something to keep them company. But not truly as a path. It's a very serious, very demanding path.

And when you look at it that way, when both partners look at it that way, then it's magnificent. But it truly can take you to your highest goals, both emotional goals and spiritual goals.

HEARTBREAK

"The spirit is a real force. It's gifts are peace, harmony, laughter & love" - Deepak Chopra

THOMAS MOORE

When someone's heart gets broken or when they're betrayed, I don't think we get numb because we haven't gone on. I think we get numb because we haven't really taken to heart, really embraced the emotions involved, either of betraying or being betrayed. Those experiences are initiations. They take us somewhere. The soul is affected by them, deeply, profoundly. And that affect remains forever.

THE SEASONS OF LOVE

"It’s a dance. Coming together, pulling apart". - John Gray

JOHN GRAY

And every couple, if they make it to autumn, real love, they're going to go into winter, which makes summer seem like a piece of cake. And suddenly you go, I don't feel attracted to my partner. Or why am I married to this person. I feel imprisoned in this relationship. Or I'm exhausted, I'm tired, I've nothing to give. I don't feel that he loves me, a woman might say. A man goes, why do I even bother; you know nothing I do helps. And most people aren't prepared for winter.


BARBARA DE ANGELIS

And if you can have the courage in love to continue to change, to re-examine, and the courage as a human being yourself to grow every day, you're going to have the most dynamic exciting relationship, because there'll be two people who are continually re-meeting each other


LOVE IN OUR HEARTS

"Love is the magic key that unlocks the door to your passion". - Barbara De Angelis


JOHN O'DONOHUE

One remembers here Dante's notion that the secret rhythm of the universe is the rhythm of love, which moves the stars and the planets. Love is the source, center and destiny of experience.

A FRIENDSHIP BLESSING

JOHN O'DONOHUE

May you be blessed with good friends. May you learn to be a good friend to yourself. May you be able to journey to that place in your soul where there is great love, warmth, feeling and forgiveness. May this change you. May it transfigure that which is negative, distant or cold in you. May you be brought in to the real passion, kinship and affinity of belonging. May you treasure your friends. May you be good to them and may you be there for them. May they bring you all the blessings, challenges, truth and light that you need for your journey. May you never be isolated. And may you always be in the gentle nest of belonging with your Anam Cara.
