Mindfulness offers a practical way to improve our relationship both with ourselves and others, and more effectively manage the stresses associated with dispute resolution and conflict. In Mindful Relationships, the expert authors clearly and engagingly explore how mindfulness can be used to: calm and soothe our emotions so that we can be there for others, learn to spot and change dysfunctional patterns in our relationships, communicate more effectively, enhance intimacy, connection and empathy, and, reduce defensive patterns, allowing for more authenticity. Case studies highlight key principles, while practical exercises enable you to develop your mindfulness skills so that you can live a richer, fuller life of enhanced connection and wellbeing.
