Meet Your Romantic Self
The Romantic iis the self that
can meet the world with open arms and heart.
This self can channel its love globally in
relationship to concerns of the earth,
oceans, plants, animals, people, places and
things. It treasures a beautiful sunset, the
smell of a rose, warmth of a fireplace, the
pleasure of intimacy, an inspiring
conversation, or the sound of music.
The Romantic has its own,
deeply unique and personal way of being in
relationship to family, pets, friends and
community. This self makes each moment count
in a way that is memorable. It can bring
excitement, passion and presence to anything
it puts its attention to including one’s
self.
The Romantic can infuse
intimacy into anything it sets its focus on.
By looking inward this self brings to us a
greater sense of connection and presence.
The ordinary tasks of our life can be infused
by the rose colored lens of this self.
OVER-IDENTIFIED WITH THE ROMANTIC:
If you are over identified with your
Romantic Self you can lose your sense of
appropriate boundaries becoming intrusive
with those closest to you. You can also
become overindulgent caring for your own
personal needs at this risk alienating
others.
THE DISOWNED/REPRESSED
ROMANTIC:
When you have disowned or repressed your
Romantic you reduce your capacity to create
or maintain deeper relationships with
yourself and others. By staying on the
surface you lose the capacity to connect to
the subtle essence of love for people, places
and things.
THE INTEGRATED ROMANTIC:
With an integrated Romantic you can create a
fluid balance between love of self and
others. You are able to fully appreciate and
enjoy the quality of love and attention that
this juicy self can bring to any and all
areas of your life.
