About This Teaching

Alignment teachings
that came from real life.

Kathy and I have been exploring how alignment shows up in real relationships for years, and thanks to her own alignment, these five signs came through Kathy to support our relationship during challenging times. We first shared them live together during a talk in Atlanta, GA. We continue to share them and use them as a guide to reflect on our relationships.

The Five Signs

Channeled through Kathy Stringer. Shared by John and Kathy as a guide for your relationship with yourself, with others, and with the Source of life.

01

Listening to Understand

You listen with presence. You seek understanding and remain open to what is true for the other person.

02

Loving Without Needing a Return

Love moves as contribution. You give without using love as a transaction.

03

Filling Your Needs

You meet your own needs and bring wholeness into the relationship. You do not assign your inner state to another person.

04

Releasing the Need to Be Right

The impulse to prove your point softens. Curiosity and humility create space for connection.

05

Acceptance and Growth

You are satisfied being present, growing, and honoring the other person’s perspective. Acceptance becomes the foundation.

John and Kathy Stringer created the Aligned Relationship experience to support healing, presence, and unity in how we relate.

Kathy received the five signs through alignment. John brings the teaching forward as a practical framework you can apply across relationship types, including family dynamics, partnership, and community.

If you want to work with these principles in a guided way, the full course series expands the teaching through practices, inquiry, and integration.
