I'm on AL2.2 and feel that Awakening is really appropriately named. I have cut off ties with some friends that I realized were pretty much using me for
their convenience. I even called one of my parents out one the carpet because he was actually trying to use me. The last time I stood up to him was 20 years
ago. I always assumed that I did not put up with much crap from people but now I'm awakened to the fact that I let myself be used by others and maybe it
was because of abandonment issues that I did not know I had. It has been a little scary for me because I have been cutting off most of the relationships that I
have had for most of my adult life, but I have a sense that I will make new connections with more functional people. A couple of months ago I got into a new
romantic relationship. I started seeing behavior of a person that was self-centered and in my opinion wanted me as a "friends with benefits" person
rather than a serious, two way, functional relationship. Usually when I date, it only takes me a few dates to figure out if I'd like to continue or just
part ways, but I gave this more time rather than just react. In the end, I decided that I love and respect myself too much to get into another relationship
like that. Instead of feeling guilty and depressed I actually feel proud of myself and I'm not sitting around wondering if I made the right decision. I
wonder if others doing holosync have had similar experiences. At times it seems (from reading other forums) that a lot of people are single or at the least,
their partner does not do any form of meditation. The only other person I know personally that does holosync is currently going through a divorce.
