I've been having some friction in a relationship

They were bossing me around

Controlling me

Telling me what to do

And I wanted, I needed, it to stop

It was upsetting to me

I was provoked

But I now know without question that I can only receive what I am being

So what am I being?

Every shadow contains a gift

Our pain points to where we are not yet free

While it was very tempting to "correct" her, or to provoke her back in reaction, or to blame myself for creating pain, I choose something altogether different

I asked myself- show me what I don't see about this situation

What am I protecting?

Where is the pain within me?

How do I shift toward more love within me?

And my inquiry was richly rewarded - almost immediately (which in my experience doesn't always happen)

Resting inwardly I was drawn to a specific video from the Gene Keys community

Randomly the host was talking about Gene Key 39; The Siddhi of Liberation, the Gift of Dynamism, and the Shadow of Provocation - the Gene Key of my Radiance

I was provoked!

And here was a response

I sat down and listened, willing to hear something new

Energy flowed, new connections, insights, new ways of seeing myself, and new ways of relating to life opened up within me

Open mindedness engenders open heartedness

I was oriented back inward

This is for me, this isn't something I do toward her or the situation, this is something I do within me

The provocation is an invitation

It's pointing to a blockage within me

Something old is in the way of my liberation

This circumstance is only making me aware of a blockage I was unaware I had

But don't I want her to stop treating me that way?

Sure, but that will come

It begins with me

Release the block that creates the trigger and we set ourselves free

And our Gene Keys profile shows us the way

When I first began my journey with the Gene Keys it was a bit overwhelming

I didn't really understand how to do it or how it would help me

What I've come to see is The Art of Contemplation gently guides us inward

It becomes a practice

One we improve at over time

And I truly believe this is a skill anyone, everyone can learn
