Mindful Loving: 10 Practices for Creating Deeper Connections

By Henry Grayson

Book Overview

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Henry Grayson shares his breakthrough techniques for creating deeper and more lasting connections with our loved ones. Henry Grayson, a psychologist, relationship counselor, psychoanalyst, and former minister who has been working with couples and individuals to improve their relationships for over thirty years, has found that most people are actually more unhappy after marriage counseling or couples therapy. In Mindful Loving he sets aside the traditional methods of therapy to show you how to look at your relationships from a completely different perspective. By getting to the root of our relationship problems, which stem from our thoughts and beliefs and mistaken ideas about our own identities, Grayson creates a whole new framework--one where psychology, spirituality, and science meet--in which to view intimacy.

Customer Reviews

A life saver!!!

I absolutely loved this book. I was going through a tough divorce and this book completely allowed me to do a 360 and get away from and ego based separation to a spiritual one. After reading this book -- I was able to come to peace with my divorce and its practices so helped me in my approach to my next relationship. This book is a must read and is a catalyst for change when approaching love!

Where does love come from?

Henry Grayson's ideas were new to me when I read his book. I learned to hold new expectations of my relationships and marriage, learned a deeper understanding of where love comes from, and learned to seek personal responsibility for my own emotions. Reading this book improved every relationship in my life. Highly, highly recommended for those considering marriage or already in one - blissful or rocky.

Quantum Love: It's the little things

This book ties together the world of physics and the mind. I have always felt that our thoughts act on the world and here is a book that goes a long way to explaining it. It is a must have for anyone who believes it is the thought that counts; although especially important for those that don't.

Ten Commanmnts

This book is the bible for the mind. I read it, began using the practices. Now my relationships are more focused and happy.

Terrific reading!

I am a divorcee who is presently working on a new relationship. I recently picked up this book and finally began understanding why I had such difficulties in my former marriage and how I can change myself to develop a deeper meaningful relationship with my partner. Until reading this book, I only saw what was on the surface and was blind to all of the hidden feelings, insecurities and intentions that we both had. After reading this book as well as another really fantastic book called "The Ever-Transcending Spirit" by Toru Sato, I finally am beginning to see these things. They are both terrific books! I am extremely thankful to these authors who have helped me see myself and the world so much clearer than before. I will try to use this new knowledge to grow together with my new partner in a positive way. Thank you!
