We do this with really spot on articles and discussion boards.
The discussion boards on the site are designed to create
community. We also see how various approaches can support
and assist: the law of attraction, Eastern, Western Spirituality
and good old Psychology.
There are some wonderful articles that are here for you
that can give you insight and ideas to help you find wisdom
and courage.
So there is the Connection Section of
the site where you can search for other like minded singles.
And there is a boatload of support for you here after you
login. There is a Community
section where members offer experience, strength and hope
to each other on Discussion Boards. There are inspiring
quotes and good words, blessings to be had and professional
coaching/counseling available in the Support Section. And
there are some really wonderful articles on how to be better
at being conscious and being single in the Articles section.
All available for free and after you login.
As a conscious single you owe it to yourself to take intentional,
proactive steps towards your life's enrichment. Becoming
connected with others, friends or life partners, is an innate
need. It is important to be comfortable with yourself and
being single, but it is also important to strive for depth
in relationship. Part of the conscious strategy is to balance
the attachment to the outcome. There is a balance between
giving up and no longer trying to connect with others, and
being compulsive and overly impatient in degree. Finding
the right Singles Zen is what we call it.
The bottom line is to be intelligently proactive. And we
at Conscious Singles believe that we are an intelligent
choice.
And it has been safe to meet others this
way. This is a much safer world than the media would have
us believe-- but there is also a lot of unkindness and unsafe
behavior out there. Be mindful and trust your intuitions
about meeting someone for the first time. And be conscious.
The task is to be semi fearless and warrior
like in joining and graceful and perhaps passionate for
making this community of conscious folk something significant.
A: Conscious Singles offers like minded
singles an alternate way to meet and socialize. When you
are corresponding through e-mail or meeting members off-line,
please use sound judgment and responsible conduct both online
and off. As in the traditional dating arena, common sense
and awareness are your best safety tools. We truly want
your experience with us to be safe and fun!
Things to Watch For: Watch for language
and statements that sound evasive. Pay attention to choppy
sentences and stories where appropriate detail as been omitted.
Simple lies and deceptions are the easiest to rehearse and
keep undetected. Be relatively conservative and trust your
instincts. If it feels suspicious or uncomfortable - move
on!
Keep Your Anonymity: Never include personal
information in your profile or initial emails that could
help someone to locate or identify you. Your last name,
real e-mail address, home address, phone number, place of
work, or any other identifying information should be kept
private until you are completely comfortable with someone.
Be cautious and selective. Stop communicating with anyone
who pressures you for information or attempts in any way
to trick you into revealing it.
Never Feel Pressured to Meet Anyone In
Person: One advantage of getting to know someone online
is that you can gradually screen information and then make
a choice about pursuing the relationship. You are NEVER
obligated to meet anyone, regardless of your level of online
intimacy. And you always have the right to change your mind
even if you do decide to arrange a meeting. Again, trust
your instincts!
If You Decide To Meet: You can never
be absolutely certain about the background, motives or behavior
of someone you've agreed to meet. Always go with more caution,
not less. Never agree to meet someone if you feel at all
uncomfortable or afraid. When you decide to meet someone,
proceed carefully. Always make sure a friend or family member
knows about your meeting - where and when. Make arrangements
to check in with them on your return. Meet in a public place
at a time when you expect many other people to be present.
Avoid isolated or remote places such as drives in the country
or hikes through the woods until you are completely comfortable
with someone. Take your own car for the first few meetings
and do not ride with the other person. Make sure you end
the meeting while there are still other people present.
If you are asked about getting together again, answer honestly.
It's OK to decline further meetings.
Be Aware and Know What To Do If You Sense
Danger: Even unhealthy or dangerous people often display
exemplary behavior. Behavior is unpredictable and there
are never guarantees, but there are some warning signs.
Any displays of anger, intense frustration or attempts at
pressuring or controlling you could be signs of a potential
problem. Making insulting or disrespectful comments or any
physically inappropriate behavior are alerts. If in any
way you become uncomfortable or afraid, use your best judgment
to diffuse the situation and get out of there. If necessary,
excuse yourself and ask someone else on the scene for help,
or slip out the back door and drive away. If necessary call
the police. It's always better to be safe than sorry. Never
worry or feel embarrassed about your behavior to keep yourself
safe.
