From the Infinity ∞ Series, Chapter 8 Reviews - The Spiritual Girl's Guide to Dating : Your Enlightened Path to Love, Sex, & Soul Mates

The Spiritual Girl's Guide to Dating is a how-to guide for single gals to use their intuitive skills in choosing the right guys to date while in search for their soul mate. Amy Leigh Mercree offers guidance on a "spiritual" level that can help a girl avoid dating mistakes and manifest a perfect life partner. Amy believes you don't have to let karma dictate the types of relationships you attract. And, although the focus of this book is for females, guys can certainly gain dating tips from reading it as well. Guys are looking for that special someone too!

Chapter 8: How to Date Consciously

In chapter 8 the reader is taught about "energy exchanges." The healthfulness of exchanging energies with others, and the energy exchanges that are inappropriate or even detrimental to your well being. If you are familiar with my Web site you may have already read my article about energy vampires. Mercree wants you to be aware that some people will knowingly or unknowingly drain your energies. She says awareness is key in attracting a partner with good vibrations and asks you to "respect your sacredness" in choosing who you hang out with.

Conscious Dating topics covered in this chapter include:

Identifying Your Dating Red Flags
Unconscious Childhood and Past Relationship Patterns
Fulfilling Your Unfulfilled Childhood Needs
Karmic Date Fuel Versus True Connection
How to Balance Your Relationship Karma
Instead of Setting for Mediocre: Do This
Energetic Predators in the Dating World
Replacing Fear with Love

Identifying Your Dating Red Flags

Mercree is teaching readers how to listen to gut instincts when she writes about red flags. The reader is given tips on how to pay attention to clues (red flag triggers) from your brain and body when something or someone is not quite right. A ten question quiz is laid out for you to get a better grasp on how to listen to intuitive warning signals.

Unconscious Childhood and Past Relationship Patterns

When the "unconscious" part of you chooses your dates you are given the opportunity to work on unresolved issues though the relationship. Mercree suggests working though our issues on our own through self love and supporting personal needs ourselves to avoid reenacting childhood issues in our adult relationships.

Fulfilling Your Unfulfilled Childhood Needs

In this section the reader is given three steps in a meditative process to reveal any areas that may have experienced "lack" during childhood. Also to help fill in those gaps and for better awareness of what to do when certain personal needs come to surface.

Karmic Date Fuel Versus True Connection

Oh, why can't we just blame Karma on our bad dating experiences? Of course you can, I've done it before. Mercree points out that a "conscious girl" can recognize a karmic pull and stay clear from it. Instead she can choose dates based on non-karmic influences that are better choices for her making a true connection.

How to Balance Your Relationship Karma

The lesson taught in this section is to "accept" that karma exists and to be open to the realization that everyone is connected. Every person and every experience is sacred. "We are all one being." Once you integrate this knowing into your life you will be raising your consciousness and balancing your karma. There is a ten-step visualization exercise given to help the reader connect to her higher self and to release and balance karma.

Instead of Setting for Mediocre: Do This

Short and sweet, this section asks the reader to yank the reins away from her hormones and his pheromones, take control, and use discernment to attract only the extraordinary!

Energetic Predators in the Dating World

In this section Mercree gives warning about perceived notions about where to find a "spiritual" guy. The lesson here is that both light and dark can attract the wrong guy. yes, "fear" will most likely attract sharks, but "light" also attracts all types to suck up that good energy.

Replacing Fear with Love

Chapter 8 ends with another exercise that helps the reader turn their fears into love. How do you date consciously? (1) learn awareness, (2) use prevention, and (3) clear away undesirable energies.
