Intimacy is one of the great powers and joys of life, yet all too often it gets clouded by miscommunication, a loss of affection, and a lack of mutual support. Here therapist David Richo shows us how to use mindfulness to better understand ourselves and our partners so that we can:
* Increase our capacity to give and receive love by recognizing how our past relationships affect our current life
* Improve physical and emotional intimacy by embracing the five hallmarks of loving relationship
* Resolve conflicts by constructively working with anger, grief, and blame
* Move from needy, ego-centered love to unconditional love by addressing fears of engulfment or abandonment
* Discover how relationships can be a path to spiritual awakening by practicing mindfulness and loving-kindness

      David Richo's slow and halting speaking style becomes only a minor distraction once his rich understanding of romantic relationships starts to unfold. Like authors with a similar point of view, he ties adult connection problems to childhood losses, but his formulations sound more profound and soothing--more heart-centered and Buddha-like--than standard social science. With his memorable lists and examples from attachment theory, he explains how needs for attention, acceptance, appreciation, and affection unfold, and how simple shifts in the way we process neediness and attachment fears can lead us toward the love and security we desire. With his vocal sincerity and warm connection with his live audience obvious throughout the recording, this is a presentation that people in all committed relationships can savor and grow with. T.W.
