In these two new Shambhala Sun Audio clips from last year’s Mindfulness, Love and Relationship program in New York City, Jungian psychologist and Buddhist practitioner Polly Young-Eisendrath explains why Buddhism’s three “facets of existence” can lead us to have healthier relationships with others, and how couples can break destructive cycles of behavior by taking a good look at the contents of their minds.

Thank you so much for these audio clips. I am getting married next week and they have come at a very opportune time for me. I love the part in Polly's first clip that talks about how we are embedded in a relationship together, both equal partners. When you feel like you are the only one that works to build a relationship, you forget that you are building the relationship for YOURSELF as well. It isn't about one person doing more than the other.
You're welcome, and thanks for the comment. Most of all — congrats and enjoy next week and beyond!
