A Mindful Approach to the Unique Challenges of Intimate Relationships

Why is it often so hard to truly connect with others, even those we care most about? “Our capacity to engage fully in relationship starts with becoming more awake and aware within ourselves,” says Tara Brach. With Nourishing Intimacy, this renowned teacher offers a treasury of tools and insights for cultivating self-compassion, overcoming inner obstacles, and fostering authentic communication. Recorded at a live two-day event, this training brings you Tara’s special blend of storytelling, tender guidance, and potent meditations for applying mindfulness and loving-kindness to our relationships, including:

• Dissolving the illusion of separation that keeps us isolated
• Awakening from the belief that we are unworthy of love
• How to address the true needs underneath our surface conflicts
• Practicing forgiveness, healing from past relationship trauma, breaking stuck patterns in conflict, and much more.

“When we are grounded in compassionate awareness,” teaches Tara, “we can stay heart to heart with another, even when we don’t see eye to eye.” Here she offers a gentle and practical guide for building healthy, openhearted relationships with Nourishing Intimacy.

Nourishing Story and meditations

This audio book nourished my soul and help me on my path through difficulties with relationships.

It gave me such a sense of peace to get in touch with the broader heart essence…. Heart presence… even though I was very active while listening. I’ve listen twice, but now need to really to stop what I’m doing listen fully to get the full benefit.

Lots on hands on mediation exercises!

I was not expecting so many meditation excises but they were very helpful and insightful- would recommend to anyone looking to spend a few concentrated hours on themselves and their inner pain.

Not exactly an audiobook

The author is doing some sort of retreat and recorded herself and turned it into a "book" of sorts. It just felt a little bit off to me.
