Free Advice from Intuitive Life Coach, Jaelin K. Reece

Dear Jaelin,

My husband seems distracted most of the time I'm with him. He says he loves me and I do him. I feel I do all the emotional work. Is there anything I can do to bring equality into our lives? Can he give more?

Dear Joan,
There is a wonderful heart and soul exercise that you can do together as a couple that will help you both to be fully in the present moment with each other. I give this exercise to couples often as their homework during couples coaching. This exercise connects the soul to the heart of their beloved. It may be difficult at first to look each other in the eye, but do the best you can. This will help to bring each of you into the full presence of the other. It is an act of balance and strengthens the relationship. See if this is something that your husband would be willing to experience with you. You will receive more in those few moments with him that you have felt in many years. It reconnects you to each other.

Many Blessings,

Jaelin K. Reece

I like your answer. It is very similar to the Gestalt Approach of the Viennese psychiatrist Fritz Perls. He had couples look into each others eyes and say the following “Gestalt Prayer:” “I am I and you are you. You are you and I am I.” Each partner would take a turn repeating this mantra, going back and forth in this manner for several minutes. With that in mind, I feel inspired to write a blog post about Fritz Perls in the near future. Thanks for the inspiration.

I also appreciated your answer greatly. There are so many ways we can connect that go so far beyond words. In the practices I am trained in, called “Soul Healing”, we say, “Heal the soul first and then the mind and body will follow.” I believe the approach you suggest does just that. It nurtures that heart to heart, soul to soul connection that is so vital to all our human relationships -especially with our beloved. We would even “say hello” to, or invoke, the soul of the relationship before doing an exercise like this. this can be as simple as saying, “Dear soul of our relationship, we love you and appreciate you. Please bless and heal our relationship. Remove any blockages to our happiness together. Thank you!” The results from making this simple kind of statement are profoundly different. Thanks so much for offering so beautiful service to people!
