← CHAPTER OVERVIEW
What would an ideal friendship look like for you?
Dear Creatrix,
How are you today?
Have you been thinking about your friendships and what you would like to change when it comes to the relationships you have with your current friends or friends you’d like to make?
Because we are going to start diving in today.
As this is the last day of the first week, and the first week is all about assessing what we like and don’t like about our current situation to find out what we want to keep and cultivate and what we are ready to let go of, we will take some time today to think about all the friendships we had in our lives so far.
Who stayed and who disappeared?
Who would you maybe like to reach out to again?
Or who are the people who might currently take up more space in your life, than you would like for them to take up?
And who is missing?
You know best what your situation is like, and what you need.
And then we can begin to think about why good friendships are so important for a fulfilling life.
In Chinese medicine, people are considered healthy when all areas of their life are running smoothly. This also includes a fulfilling social life. But this is not only true for Chinese Medicine.
When we look back at the Wheel of Life, which you might have filled in in the last chapter, we also see that the more all areas of our life are in balance, the more smoothly our life runs.
We can see the same in the Wheel of Colours, in other ancient wisdom traditions and in any holistic approach.
We each are the centre of the universe. Because our world, what we experience, the way we grow, evolves around each of us. We are the centre from where we see the world, from where we act and evolve.
But we are also one part of a whole – we don’t exist in a vacuum.
So our relationships influence our well-being.
The CREATRIX School is all about strengthening our core, our essence, growing our roots, getting familiar with who we are, how we work, our soul’s, our life’s purpose and how to live it – joyfully. And then to reach out and to connect with others.
In the Family chapter, we investigate our primary relationships, the ones we formed early in life with our parents and the ones we continue to hopefully nourish with the people we call family.
In the Relationships chapter, we talk about our intimate relationships, with one or more partners or lovers, or boyfriends, girlfriends and non-binary friends.
And in the Community chapter, we talk about a larger group of people we connect to, our community and our outreach to other people and how we can change the world together and on a bigger scale.
By forming a CREATRIX Crew of eight or so people in this chapter, and by getting clearer on what is important for us in our friendships, we will begin to form a steady base for our growth and development, but also for our joy and stability in life.
And for us to do this in the best possible way, we start by getting to know ourselves and our hopes, dreams and wishes better.
I’ve already asked you quite a few questions, and there are more coming, so be prepared. 🙂
