The Five Vows

1. I give you my full attention.
When I see you, whether it be standing before me, or in my minds eye, I am free of judgments, past and present. I have devotedly freed and opened my mind and Heart - clearing away any distractions - to enable me to see you. I have firmly chased away any encroaching negativities and thoughts, and brought my full Loving attention to YOU.
As I stand before you, believe that I stand in full Awareness of you. My mind is clean and free. My Hearts intention is pure.

2. I appreciate you.
I appreciate your expressions, your emotions, and your spiritual presence. I notice your mannerisms, the quality of your voice, your gestures, and your actions. I listen attentively to what you say, and how you say it. And though I may not always understand, or agree, I recognize all this as wondrous. I enjoy the adventure.
When you smile and laugh, I smile and laugh with you. When you are sad or troubled, I hold you compassionately in my Heart.
I am fully conscious of your whole unique nature and Spirit, and feel and express appreciation in my unique way. Releasing any fears and hesitations, I sincerely communicate in words, thoughts, and deeds that I Lovingly appreciate you. I will say what makes you special to me.

3. I will be attentive to the expressions of your Heart.
Whether it be through thought, touch, word, or action, I will sincerely express my Hearts response. I do this to insure the flow of Loving communication. In the openness of this communication, we will learn more of each others ways and feelings. As we share and explore the intimacies of our Hearts, we grow in wisdom. In hearing the stirrings of your Heart, I learn more about myself. The voice of the Heart always speaks with truth and wisdom.
The union of a beneficial mind, and the Heart, manifests our purest intentions. The breath and rhythm of this united Heart is the breath and movement of Spirit. Spirit is Life. We Live as one, in Love, in the Heart. When your Heart speaks, my Heart is filled with Light.
I am dedicated to keeping my Awareness keenly in my Heart. When I listen to your Heart, it will be heard and felt in my Heart, and I will affectionately and Lovingly respond.

4. I will respect the Sacred nature of your beliefs.
I recognize that the source of your beliefs may be deeply rooted, and may vary from my own. I recognize that the strength and power of a belief is ones reality. I understand that your actions are products of your beliefs. Without expectations, I may question them to better understand you.
I realize that in the creation of a new belief, your Life, your reality, will transform as you adapt to new ways. Your methods to establish a new belief may differ from my own methods. I believe there is no right or wrong way to believe in Love. It is merely our way and choice.
In the processing and explorations of our stories and beliefs, my Heart will present visions, choices, and possibilities to create new beliefs with you and confirm others.
Believe that I will Live and Love fully in this moment, and each moment to follow. For I know this moment shapes the next. I Whole-Heartedly and Lovingly am grateful to you for this opportunity.

5. I am dedicated to being All I am.
I will continue to grow in the understanding of who I truly am. I will liberate my Spirit. I understand that in Spirit, we are Divinely alike, perfect. Embodied, we have the gift of revealing ourselves as unique expressions of Life. I will appreciate myself, and All, as unique, distinctive, and special. I will be happy, creative, and playful. I will attentively view Life as beautiful and sacred. I will care for myself, nourish myself, and Love myself, as I would a newly born child. For each minute, with every breath, you and I are renewed in Life. I will express to you the true nature and marvels of my Heart, to live spiritually confident and joyful always.
