Has your search for Prince (or Princess) Charming resulted in endless frustration and disappointment? Maybe it's time to recognize your true compatibilities with another person so you can avoid making the same mistakes again and again in relationships. Determining your compatibilities on the different levels (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, will, and etheric) with your current or prospective partner will help give you a reality check, an understanding of what is really happening in your relationship.

Understanding your compatibilities helps you to know if you and the other person's energies blend well together, or if you're fooling yourself and acting out subconscious patterns. They help you to tell the truth about your relationship in order to heal old hurts faster, as well as to move on from relationships that no longer serve you.

Understanding your compatibilities also shows you which areas of your relationship need work. You may have found your ideal mate, but some "homework" may be necessary in order for the relationship to flourish. For example, low compatibility in a particular area could indicate the presence of negative programming that needs to be cleared in either you or your partner.

Let's say you had a traumatic sexual experience as a child and still harbor subconscious fear about sexual contact. Because of this, you may start to unknowingly "turn off" to your partner during sex and simply assume that you're not physically compatible. In reality, however, your suppressed fears could be the culprit. Bringing them to light and working through them could clear the way for enjoyable physical contact and even save the relationship from possible demise.

Because there are a number of different energetic qualities (often called "subtle bodies") in our human make-up, there are other compatibilities beside the physical which are crucial to determining your potential success with a partner. It is important to have a high compatibility between your "mental bodies." This will give you a good mental rapport and ensure good communication between you. You will be able to understand each other easily, and conversation will generally flow smoothly as you share thoughts and ideas.
