These tapes remind us how deep our relationships are: We are eternal beings moving consciously through the world seeking to find invisible bonds with others reflecting the nature of our love. Thanks, Ondrea and Stephen, for remindings us how sacred and human our relationships can be. -- Samuel Oliver, author of, WHAT THE DYING TEACH US: LESSONS ON LIVING.

This will not be a formal review. I found myself with the link available to write one, however, and just could not refrain from making a short stab at it. This set of tapes contains wisdom not just for couples but for anyone, at any time. A comprehensive base of spiritual wisdom drawn from world religions and and the best of thought is condensed into this perspective. Moreover, the suggestions that follow from it are practical and workable. How I wish I had discovered this set of tapes sooner! How I wish it were in hard copy. If you are in need of help, go here. The opening message by Stephen (both he and his wife are conducting the workshop from which the tapes were made) put me off a bit at first, with its quality of incantation. I realize now that this was likely the leading of an opening meditation. Continue. You will not be disappointed!

mercy, opening your heart, keeping your heart open and softening to pain because nothing is worse than a closed heart. this was all medicine to me - just what i needed.

This tape series affords either an individual or a couple (however that is defined) to deepen their relationship with themselves and others. It is a must have if you are pursuing a path of conscious living and want to deepen and expand how you view yourself and interact with others.

The meditation that launches these dialogues is inspiring and encouraging allowing space so compassion is approachable. The Levine's in this workshop are truly exceptionally wise and profound. They are great examples of putting intimate relationship into practice. I have listened to these tapes again and again and again...always discovering something relevant to my life in my present circumstance. I think that this presentation can be extremely useful for any relevant relationship in your life even ones that seemed far removed.

Steven Levine's CD "to Love and Be Loved" is worthwhile for people of all ages and walks of life. It's not only about relationships. It's a live program and there are some meditations within it. Highly recommended and the price was cheap. $14.99, 3.99 shipping for 7 CDs.
