Have you ever dreamed of creating more passion and fulfillment in your relationships - without losing your spiritual life or sense of self in the process? According to Charlotte Kasl, the keys to love that we're all looking for are the same ones that mystics and sages have used for centuries to open their hearts to the world around them. If the Buddha Were in Love invites you to use those tools to discover a deeper way of connecting and loving. Join Charlotte Kasl as she guides you through: The nine bonds of intimacy essential to every couple; "Lies we tell ourselves" - how to get honest with yourself on the path of love; Exercises for facing jealousy, the fear of intimacy, and other obstacles to true connection; A "red flag" checklist for identifying and preventing potential relationship disasters; Four secrets to passionate and enduring love (as revealed by real-life couples on the spiritual path), and much more.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Written in part as a response to that ubiquitous relationship guide, The Rules, this latest from psychotherapist and workshop leader Charlotte Kasl (Women, Sex, and Addiction) aims "to give people another way to think about meeting and coming together." Claiming the point of all relationships is to help each other become our "biggest selves," Kasl, drawing upon major tenets of the Sufi, Quaker and Buddhist spiritual traditions, stresses the importance of self-awareness and responsibility in any successful pairing. Loaded with anecdotal evidence gleaned from 27 years of professional experience working alongside couples, and read with poise, warmth and humor, Kasl insightfully advises on noticing our "attachments," or expectations, and what common traits all "long-term loving couples" share, such as spontaneous praise. In addition, she probes red flag behaviors to look for in ourselves (hoping mate will change, fear of bringing up issues) and in others (jealousy, blaming and ongoing addictions). While some may be slightly put off by Kasl's frequent New-Agey references to a "universal energy," her sympathetic-sounding voice and genuinely practical strategies will endear her to most listeners. Cassettes are conveniently divided into specific "sessions," including "Conflict Resolution," "The I-Thou Relationship" and "Sexuality," which makes it easy to return to a particularly helpful segment or to stop to complete an exercise, while lending a workshop feeling to the audio experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Yea, it's like that!,
By Paula Sisson "phoenix" (Phoenix, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: If the Buddha Were in Love (Audio Cassette)
This tape hit a chord with me. If you are ready to accept that problems are half your fault and you really do want to stay with your partner, this tape might hit a chord with you too. She gives lots of techniques and approaches that are sensible, to me anyway. The examples of couples she uses to exemplify problems (wow that sounds just like so-in-so) and possible solutions are wonderful. It's only 4 tapes and the quality is pretty good. Even 1 partner can get some very useful tips about trigger points (approaches on how to uncover these hidden bombs), relationship levels (which I had never heard of before). Too bad it isn't a cd (why I was looking here). Some people don't have tape players in their cars. Hope this helps!
