• Do you find that the honeymoon is over in your relationship or that it never really began? (Read article below on "How to rekindle Your Relationship") Click Here

Does this sound familiar? If you have ever felt like this, you are not alone—and there is real and lasting help in the form of the Sedona Method. The Sedona Method is a powerful tool for improving all your relationships.

Feel your anger and frustration, sadness or feelings of neediness melt away.

When you feel you need relationship improvement, or you see a situation leading one or both of you to say or do something you will later regret, simply ask yourself the easy-to-learn and easy-to-remember questions that make up the Sedona Method.

When you do, you will feel the tightness leaving your stomach, shoulders and chest. In its place, you will feel peace, relaxation and love. You will no longer have to worry about small disputes turning into longstanding misunderstandings.

You will feel more relaxed, more capable of communicating easily to your partner whatever feelings you have. This, in turn, will allow your partner to do the same. The noise of your mind will subside, and you will have the peace of mind to handle and master any life situation.

You won’t have the need for relationship improvement any longer.

Although disagreements and misunderstandings are at times a natural part of normal relationships, there are many cases where friction seems to occur a major part of the time you spend together. Some people even believe if you want a relationship to succeed, you have to give in and pretend that your significant other is “right” and you are “wrong.”

Or you feel like you must be in control in the relationship. Attitudes like these will result in a long, unhappy existence with a loved one that usually ends in emotional trauma.

Although there are some communication methods learned from classes, counseling and therapy that do seem to work in moving you and your partner in the direction of a successful and loving relationship, you will find there is a better, more effective way to repair relationships called the Sedona Method.

The Sedona Method will show you how to rid yourself of the causes of unnecessary fighting and misunderstanding. The Sedona Method is a powerful and complete system on its own that can also be used to dramatically improve your relationships.

Let’s examine the alternatives for relationship improvement :
I. You both can attend relationship/marriage counseling.
Seeing a counselor to receive relationship help definitely has its benefits. A counselor can sometimes help you and your partner to identify the situations that have caused you to have troubles and disagreements and to change your thinking processes. But they can’t always easily help you eliminate the inner cause; also, the process can be quite uncomfortable and challenging. Your partner might also be reluctant to go with you, making it a one-sided intervention offering little real help in changing the relationship for the better.
II. You can get therapy.
Next to the Sedona Method, therapy has the highest likelihood of producing a lasting change in your relationship and developing effective communication techniques with one another. Once again, unless both partners attend and take responsibility, the success rate can be disappointing. Therapy combined with the Sedona Method, however, is unstoppable.
III. The answer to having better relationships—the Sedona Method.

 

 

 

 

Rekindle the Romance:
Nine Steps to Turn Those Embers Back Into Flames

Every relationship, whether new or old, reaches a point where the fire has burned out. Finishing each other’s sentences is no longer cute; his snoring is becoming unbearable or her taking hour-long showers no longer acceptable. On the surface, says relationship psychotherapist Paula Hall, “the most common things couples argue about are money, sex, work, children and housework -- roughly in that order.”

Delving even deeper, perhaps the romance has dwindled because of a lack of communication, a lack of affection, differences in opinion or not taking the time for one another as you once did, and these issues are now manifesting themselves in the practical, everyday routine.

Rekindling the romance may seem futile, but rest assured it’s to your benefit. Study after study has shown that married people, along with those in committed relationships, tend to be happier than those who are not, so devoting time to nurturing your relationship can only serve to boost your morale, well-being and peace of mind.

Altruism is Great for Love

 

At the most basic level -- if you’re not sure where to begin rekindling the romance in your relationship -- start by putting your partner first. A study by University of Chicago researchers found that people were happiest when they loved in this way, or altruistically.

"Altruistic love was associated with greater happiness in general and especially with more marital happiness," said Tom Smith of the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago.

In the study, those who agreed with statements that define altruism (such as “I’d rather suffer myself than let the one I love suffer) also reported being happy with their spouses. Further:

• 67 percent of the most altruistic people rated their marriage as “very happy”
• Only 50 percent of the least altruistic people rate their marriage as “very happy”
• While 40 percent of married people were very altruistic, only 20 percent of singles and 25 percent of divorced or separated people were

 

How to Rekindle the Romance

It’s not easy, of course, to put your partner first, particularly when conflicts have snuffed out “the magic.” However, there is a way to let go of your differences, even when anger and resentment may have been bubbling under the surface for years, to achieve a more altruistic, more fulfilling and more romantic love, and it’s called The Sedona Method.

The Method is a simple process that allows you to tap your natural ability to let go of the feelings that cause you to get lost in negative thought or communication patterns (such as constant bickering, belittling, boredom or overall unrest in your relationship).
As you release your non-love feelings, you’ll rediscover the magic that brought you together in the first place. It’s like falling in love all over again, only this time with solidity as well as delight.

Along with using The Sedona Method to let go of underlying anger and resentment, you can focus on the following “psychological tasks” from the American Psychological Association, all of which are essential to creating -- and keeping -- a warm, sincere and romantic relationship.

1. Build an identity with your partner that is your own (i.e., separate from the family you grew up in, siblings, etc.).

2. Open yourself to sharing intimacies with your partner, and build a togetherness from them, while still setting boundaries to protect each person’s desired autonomy.

3. If you have children, embrace the roles of parenting together while still protecting the privacy of you and your partner as a couple.

4. Establish a rich sexual relationship, and protect it from work and family obligations.

5. View your relationship as a safe haven in which both partners can express their differences, anger, opinions, etc.

6. Confront inevitable life crises, and overcome them, together.

7. Laugh often and keep your sense of humor to stave off boredom and feelings of isolation.

8. Nurture and comfort your partner, allowing him or her to depend on you, while offering encouragement and support.

9. Embrace the changes that occur in your relationship over time, but don’t forget the early, romantic feelings of falling in love.
