Conscious loving ever after

"More than 20 years ago, Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks's Conscious Loving changed the landscape of relationships with strategies for building a vital and lasting connection with a partner--and went on to become a modern classic. Now Gay and Katie have written a guide for conscious loving in the second half of life, designed to help us tap into the unlimited possibilities for intimacy and vibrancy in relationships from our mid-40s through our elder years. Midlife is a time, Gay and Katie explain, when we face a choice: to fold in on ourselves, staying settled in old routines and fixed beliefs, or to expand outward toward new horizons. With candor and compassion (and plenty of humor), they walk readers through the steps on that expansive path, exploring how the work we do to revitalize an existing relationship or form a new one is closely tied to the work of awakening our own creative essence. Drawing on their experiments in the "living laboratory" of their own relationship as well as stories from their clients, they offer breakthrough insights and practices to help us: Take blame and criticism out of our communications with those we love Use "presencing" to tap into the flow of intimacy
