“Mindfulness is a skillset and energy that will allow you to know what to do and what not to do, in order to preserve yourself and build your true home and transform your own afflictions and be a home for other people.” — Thich Nhat Hanh

Mindfulness of things that are coming up and a healthy way to discuss them. have a soft start-up. No one wants to listen when they are being verbally attacked.
Dr. John Gottman says: “The masters of relationships really think and they try to calm their partner down and say, we don’t have to make this huge and big deal, but this is what I need for us to be more successful.”
Sacred flexibility and growth
A high vibrational relationship has a high vibrational environment.

Mindful EmBodiment
Bring your path with you into the relationship, this is part of the path and work too.
When you are not happy in your life, you are not home. When you’re not at home within yourself, you will not be at home in your relationships.
Thich Nhat Hanh said once in teaching: “When you are at home with yourself you will have peace, more warmth, and joy, and people will recognize you as a beautiful flower in the garden of life.”
Have spiritual elements in your life that anchor and fortify you.
Having a higher path and practice so that you don’t create suffering for yourself or others.

Mindfulness is also insight
Mindful Attraction
Some relationships won’t enter your reality until you make the proper space for them energy-wise.
Equanimity over fighting against your higher good, releasing to receive better. Sacred surrender.
High self-worth
Reprogramming pain and blocks
Beliefs aligned with high vibrational attraction in relationships
Don’t lower your expectations just to be with someone
Studies at the University of North Carolina found that when people expect to be treated well in relationships that’s what they get
And when people have lowered their expectations and are OK with being treated “like dirt”, that’s what they get
“So the advice is to have high expectations and expect to be treated well, and get out of a relationship if you were being treated badly.” — Dr. John Gottman
Mindful Transformation + Transition
If the relationship vibration is continually spiraling downward
When you’ve tried everything you could and nothing is improving
When necessary requests and changes don’t stick or last
Abuse in all forms
Spiritual instructions to let go
When the liminal time is up. A reason, season, or lifetime.
When you would be better off transforming and transmuting the relationship into a new embodiment (transition and transform an intimate partnership into a platonic friendship, for example)
Sacred flexibility here with doing what’s needed is empowering and makes you more magnetic for even better to manifest
