Ultimately, our minds get in the way of this yearning, as we spin stories and assumptions around in our heads that keep us feeling alienated from one another. However, in \u003ci\u003eReal Love, \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author and meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg will teach you to redefine and open up the limited definitions of \"love\" and experience it in a more essential way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a pathway towards a more sustainable and authentic model of love by offering a creative toolkit of mindfulness exercises, meditation techniques, and interactive applications that will guide readers through the process of stripping away layers of habit to find a truer meaning of love, to \"\u003ci\u003ereal love\u003c\/i\u003e.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into four sections, each addressing a distinct experience of \"\u003ci\u003ereal love\u003c\/i\u003e\": love for the self, love for another individual, love for all beings, and love for life itself\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking from the inside out, the first step on the journey is to learn to love yourself; only then will you be able to share your love with the rest of the world. As you work through each layer you will become more present and adapt to things as they actually are. And it is only when we are truly engaged with present experiences that we not only are able to feel more connected to our own core selves, but also to those around us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Flatiron Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250076519\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 1.00d","brand":"Sharon Salzberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36648565276828,"sku":"9781250076519","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_81d70abb-6be4-4f22-9d05-16cfd75785c7.jpg?v=1603870398","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/real-love-the-art-of-mindful-connection-9781250076519","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
