The Trials and Tribulations of Couples.

If you have a significant other one thing is nearly certain…you will go through different stages in your relationship.  The euphoria of a new coupling won’t last forever.  The true measure of a healthy relationship is your willingness to listen and grow as a partner.  Every couple will go through rough patches where compromise is necessary to preserve what you know to be right for both of you.

One key to success is to celebrate your partner’s strengths and try to better understand their weaknesses.  People who communicate rather than state their own case constantly will fare better in the long run.  Such hot topics as infidelity, parenting opinions, communication skills, and just simple trust in general may all come into play during the course of an ever-evolving relationship.

A Healthy Individual = a Healthy Society.

More and more these days we are hearing about individuals who are unstable and wreak havoc on those that are just trying to live their daily lives.  With more people on the planet and more agendas to address, it does not take more than one or two unstable people to disrupt the lives of hundreds of law-abiding citizens.

First of all, to have a healthy society we must recognize the diversity and inherent worth of each individual who inhabits our community.  On a larger scale it is important to extend that understanding to this ever-growing country and even the planet itself.  To help manage this situation we need to acknowledge each individual’s path in life.

The staff of Kuadra Consulting and Counseling Service is guided by these basic tenants.  At Kuadra we work with families to help them meet and exceed their expectations for life.  Our goal has been and always will be bringing out the greatest potential of any individual or family in the San Antonio area.  Please give us a call at (210) 314-7687 to find out how Kuadra can make a positive impact on your future.

Stay Tuned - LifeForce Recovery

Stay tuned for the emergence of LifeForce Recovery, a place that will be located near San Antonio Texas. It will be the largest international practice center and community of bodhisattvas.  LifeForce will invite anyone who is motivated by great compassion and desire to heal the suffering and those afflicted with trauma, emotional, physical and mental health issues.  

This mosaic community founded by Shamanic practitioner and psychotherapist Khadijat Quadri, enjoins all faiths and talents of people to create a new spiritual community of healing. One that recognizes that spirit transcends all faiths, race, ethnicity and geographical placement.  One that truly acknowledges the spirit in all beings of life and the interconnectedness of all people, beings of nature and spirit.  To see that we are all one being in the true consciousness of GOD.  A community that recognizes that the trauma of one equals the trauma of all.  A community of care that recognizes the need to return to our true original belief that it takes a village to heal the one to heal the whole.  

At LifeForce Recovery we will weave mindfulness, shamanic practices, Christianity, energy work, Reiki healing, sound and more, into all our daily activities, training ourselves to be bodhisattvas and Zen masters throughout the day: while healing, eating, walking, working, or enjoying a cup of tea together.  LifeForce will be a home away from home, and a beautiful, nourishing, simple environment in which to cultivate the mind of Spiritual awakening to who we truly are.

The Only Thing We Have to Fear is Fear Itself.

That is a very famous line uttered by American President Franklin D. Roosevelt at a time when an entire nation needed positive reinforcement.  It worked 80 years ago and the same expression works for us today.  Everyone feels fear.  It is how you handle it that will determine the outcome of events in your life.  Remember this…heroes feel fear the same as cowards.  They just handle it differently.

Fear can be a great motivator at times.  It may warn us of impending danger and cause us to prepare well for the challenges ahead.  Sometimes we fear rejection and even fear success.  Whatever we fear we must confront those feelings and decide if it is genuinely effecting our future or if it is merely unfounded. 

At KUADRA Consulting and Counseling Service of San Antonio Texas we help you confront your fears.  Kuadra works with individuals, families, and even groups.  Maybe this New Year it is time to face what you fear and discuss it with trained counselors who will help you turn paralysis into analysis.  Call Kuadra Consulting of San Antonio today at (210) 314-7687.

Family Gatherings during the Holidays.

As Families gather together during the holidays things are brought to the forefront that are not seen or discussed at other times of the year.  Perhaps there is a family member that is suffering from drug or alcohol addiction.  Maybe one or more of the individuals at the holiday table are having extreme issues at school.  Perhaps there are aging parents that now need extra care.  There are so many family issues that you may have chosen to put on the back-burner this past year.

Do not shirk from these real-life issues.  They certainly are not going to disappear when everyone disperses after the holidays.  Eventually, sooner or later they must be dealt with.  We know that the beginning of the discussion is always the most difficult.  Try to find the right time and place to diplomatically discuss the issues that are troubling your loved ones.

If you live in the San Antonio Texas area KUADRA Consulting and Counseling Service helps individuals and families to recognize, understand, and cope with problems and conflicts they are experiencing.  We will help your family deal with these personal conflicts after the holidays by not only providing counseling, but helping them locate other services if need be.  Please call Kuadra Consulting at (210) 314-7687 and arrange a meeting at their office at 100 W. Central Texas Expy Suite 212 in Harker Heights.
