Summary

Join me for episode 32 of Inner Work on relationships, ego, and spirituality. I examine the ego-based relationship (fueled by egoic emotions such as anger, jealousy, resentment, fear, insecurity, and impatience) versus the spiritual partnership (where both partners use the relationship as a vehicle for their soul growth and expansion). We'll also take a look at Gary Zukav and Linda Francis' 4 guidelines for spiritual partnership, including Courage, Compassion, Commitment, and Conscious Communications and Actions.

Finally, get some journaling prompts to evaluate your current relationship and where it falls on this spectrum.

Thank you so much for listening, and keep doing your inner work. The world needs it!

So I'm very excited for this episode. And I think as I was

dreaming up and conceiving of this episode, I really was focusing more on romantic relationships,
