Dear Jennifer: Now that I have released many of my old friends and my new soul family is not yet in place, I wonder how I’m going to find a life partner. I have spent many years alone, which I now realize were important in my being able to clear old relationship patterns, and I now feel confident and ready for love. But where do we find others that we resonate with and how am I going to find the one I want to spend my life with? I work from home, no longer have a wide circle of friends and my community is evolving but I have not yet met anyone I would consider dating, something which makes me feel judgmental. When will I meet ‘the one’ for me and how is that going to happen?
Jennifer’s Answer: Isn’t it interesting that now that we are ready for love, many of us find ourselves in situations where we can’t see it happening. Once we met partners at work, through friends or in social situations and our lifestyles have changed to the point where that is not happening. Now that we are ready for love, we want it to happen as quickly as possible but our lifestyles have changed to the point where all of the old methods are no longer available. We also fear that we will never find anyone and that part of our clearing and release work means that we will have to learn to be happy alone. You will find ‘the one’ and it may happen in a way that surprises you but first, you must be open to receiving love.
Manifesting is the way we create our reality and that includes creating love. This is a two-part process — in the first part, we ask for what we want and set our intention for receiving it, then we step aside and allow ourselves to receive. Looking around the corner, wondering when it is going to happen or how it will happen, being frustrated and confused are not part of the receiving process. We think that manifestation includes everything but the really important things, like love, but love, relationships, partners, ‘the One’, can all be manifested in the same way, ask and then receive.
While you are in receiving mode (not waiting for it to happen, but receiving in joy, faith and trust), make sure you have room in your life for a partner. After years of being single and alone, we have created habits, mindsets, and beliefs that may block or prevent us from imagining ourselves in partnership. Don’t wait until you have a partner to enjoy your life, spend time enjoying it now, do things that are fun and fulfilling, be happy with yourself. As you are expanding the joy in your life, you are also opening your heart and energetic space for a partner who can join you and at the right moment, that person will appear. You do not have to know ‘how’ it can happen, it will because you set your intention for it. It is not necessary for you to know many people or have a wide circle of friends, you will be brought together through a shared intention for partnership and through your willingness to receive love.
Being single, alone and without a partner for so long has been a challenge for many people. But as we have always identified ourselves through our partnerships, learning who we are had to be done when we were alone. Now we want partnership because we want the connection and sharing and we are seeking them from this point of wholeness and power, instead of from loneliness, fear and need. Have faith, create the energetic space, and be open to receiving love. That is all it takes for you to find the one you want to be with, and for them to find you.
