You cannot have what you want until you know what it looks and feels like! Identify what you want and the experience you desire in a loving or intimate relationship. The goal is to be as clear as possible about what you want, the experience you desire, and what it will feel like.

This exercise will help you identify the attributes you would like your divine mate to have. It does not matter whether or not you are currently in a relationship, so don’t try to match what you want with what you may or may not have. Go for the gusto!

On each of the lines provided, use no more than five words per line to identify the attributes, not physical characteristics, you would like your divine mate to have. At the end of the section, complete the questions before you move on to the next section.

The word “attribute” refers to a person’s character, demeanor, frame of mind, what s/he likes to do, etc. For the purpose of this exercise, “attribute” does not refer to the way a person looks. The universe knows what you like and it specializes in precise delivery!
