Neale Donald Walsch on Relationships

We are all involved in relationships. Indeed, we are all in relationship with everything and everyone, all of the time. We have a relationship with ourselves, with our family, with our environment, with our work, with each other. Everything that we know and experience about ourselves, we understand within the context created by our relationships.

For this reason, relationships are sacredall relationships. And somewhere within the deepest reaches of our heart and soul, we know it. That is why we yearn so for relationshipsand for relationships of meaning. It is also, no doubt, why we have such trouble with them. At some level, we must be very clear how much is at stake. Yet it is possible to have joyful relationships, and the extraordinary insights in the Conversations with God books show us how.

Neale Donald Walsch on Relationships is inspirational, humorous, and practical. Neale examines the patterns that hinder our ability to build and maintain successful relationships; teaches us to move beyond restrictive ways of relating; and explores different types of relationshipswith God, with self, with othersdemonstrating how they all affect and enhance each other.

If you want help in understanding relationships, here is a usable, powerfuland entertaining--key to opening the door to awareness.

After finishing the book, I came away with saying, "Yes! - This is how it should be!" Walsch makes several references to his relationship with his wife Nancy and how their relationship, empowers, builds, and creates, and does not limit, tear down or hurt the other person. He asks the reader, " What can we empower? What can we create?" The reader has no choice, but to ask her/himself those very questions. Is your relationship empowering you and allowing you to create the whole, possible you? I really loved this quote, "Relationships that are based in real love - a love that is true - are relationships that are totally and completely free. Freedom is the essence of love. When we love another, we never seek to limit or restrict them in any why whatsoever. Love does not limit, does not own, does not hold in, but expands, lets go, and releases, the grandest part of who all of us are."

This book will open up your heart, your mind and your soul. The words are pure and simple, but they aim right for your heart. Your perspective will change, as will your desire for what your soul is seeking in a true relationship. Walsch, in a subtle way, imparts to the reader, that one does not have to settle for second or third best. The heart knows - one just has to listen, and one has to be secure in themselves, to not settle, and to only accept the highest calling of the heart. For as Walsch says, "Relationship is the only experience in life that brings you an experience of yourself in life. Not only do I know myself out of my relationship with you, but I literally define myself as well. I can only see in me what I see in you".

Pretty powerful words - pretty powerful, heart-felt book. I highly recommend this book for those who are seeking and for those that know, that there is something more powerful, sacred, and meaningful in a relationship and nothing else will do.

Neale is an amazing person to listen to. He speaks to the soul. I listen to the tape often and can't seem to get enough of it. I always find something new about myself, something more to love. He has a way with words that makes you accept yourself and in turn love you for who you are, unconditional love. Without relationships, you cannot define yourself. I would highly recommend this tape to anyone on a spiritual quest.
