Power struggles are common in relationships. Many people aren't aware they're happening.

Here's some signs your relationship has power struggles:

Power struggles are dynamics in relationships where: there's "one upping" and a feeling of being in competition.

In relationships with chronic power struggles, conflicts aren't worked through.

Instead, each partner wants to "win" the argument.
SIGNS YOUR RELATIONSHIP HAS POWER STRUGGLES:

- partners speak over each other, or attempt to dominate the conversation

- blaming and deflecting is common ex: "I did that because you did x."

- vulnerable information is weaponized
ex: you share with your partner how you were unfaithful to a past partner, and it's used to create a narrative "you cheated before, and I'm sure you're doing it again!"

- push pull dynamics (periods of close connection, and periods of withdraw)
- silent treatment or stonewalling used to avoid issues or conversations

- high defensiveness

- refusing to come to a team based decision "my way or the highway" behavior
It's helpful to understand that power struggles are common when we felt helpless in childhood.

If we had parent figures who: shamed us, engaged in harsh punishment, emotionally abandoned us, invalidated our reality , etc. we attempt to gain power as adults
Our younger developmental parts (inner child) fears losing our autonomy or being in a helpless situation, so we attempt to assert our dominance to stay safe.

The issue is: these dynamics block authentic emotional connection
Healthy relationships operate as a team.

In healthy relationships, the goal isn't to "win" and argument. It's to better understand each other and come to a compromise.
If control struggles exist in your relationship, you're not doomed.

Awareness of this can help you and your partner create healthier dynamics.

Here's how:

1. Active listening: Allow your partner to speak (even when you're uncomfortable)..
without interrupting or refuting what they're saying.
2. Ask: Am I right?: We assume like crazy (especially in intimate relationships). Mirror back what you believe your partner said and ask if you're correct.

They'll be able to affirm if this is what they're actually saying, listen.
ex: "Ok so you don't like when I'm on the phone after dinner because you would like to have more time together and feel like we don't connect as much as we used to, am I right?"

3. Breathe through the ego: our ego can become highly active in conflict
You'll know your ego is active when instead of listening, you're waiting to prove a point. Or, when you can't let your partner finish up their thought.

Practice ego work: observing your ego rather than reacting to it.

🌺श्री गरुड़ पुराण - संक्षिप्त वर्णन🌺

हिन्दु धर्म के 18 पुराणों में से एक गरुड़ पुराण का हिन्दु धर्म में बड़ा महत्व है। गरुड़ पुराण में मृत्यु के बाद सद्गती की व्याख्या मिलती है। इस पुराण के अधिष्ठातृ देव भगवान विष्णु हैं, इसलिए ये वैष्णव पुराण है।


गरुड़ पुराण के अनुसार हमारे कर्मों का फल हमें हमारे जीवन-काल में तो मिलता ही है परंतु मृत्यु के बाद भी अच्छे बुरे कार्यों का उनके अनुसार फल मिलता है। इस कारण इस पुराण में निहित ज्ञान को प्राप्त करने के लिए घर के किसी सदस्य की मृत्यु के बाद का समय निर्धारित किया गया है...

..ताकि उस समय हम जीवन-मरण से जुड़े सभी सत्य जान सकें और मृत्यु के कारण बिछडने वाले सदस्य का दुख कम हो सके।
गरुड़ पुराण में विष्णु की भक्ति व अवतारों का विस्तार से उसी प्रकार वर्णन मिलता है जिस प्रकार भगवत पुराण में।आरम्भ में मनु से सृष्टि की उत्पत्ति,ध्रुव चरित्र की कथा मिलती है।


तदुपरांत सुर्य व चंद्र ग्रहों के मंत्र, शिव-पार्वती मंत्र,इन्द्र सम्बंधित मंत्र,सरस्वती मंत्र और नौ शक्तियों के बारे में विस्तार से बताया गया है।
इस पुराण में उन्नीस हज़ार श्लोक बताए जाते हैं और इसे दो भागों में कहा जाता है।
प्रथम भाग में विष्णुभक्ति और पूजा विधियों का उल्लेख है।

मृत्यु के उपरांत गरुड़ पुराण के श्रवण का प्रावधान है ।
पुराण के द्वितीय भाग में 'प्रेतकल्प' का विस्तार से वर्णन और नरकों में जीव के पड़ने का वृत्तांत मिलता है। मरने के बाद मनुष्य की क्या गति होती है, उसका किस प्रकार की योनियों में जन्म होता है, प्रेत योनि से मुक्ति के उपाय...
