He is a beautiful human being.\r\n\r\nDavid has been working in this field for 50 years and still practicing. \r\n\r\nHis work emphasizes the benefits of mindfulness, loving kindness and personal growth. And in this episode, we are going to discuss his book “How to be an adult in relationships – the five keys to mindful loving” that I have just loved. We are going to dig into the five A's – attention, acceptance, action, appreciation and allowing - the hallmarks of mindful loving and how they are the key to true intimacy.\r\n\r\nMy husband and I have been married for 28 years and we are working through the five A’s and the book together right now. Approaching it really mindfully and very slowly and I talk a bit about our experience with this.\r\nWhat I really love about Dr Richo’s book is how he invites the spiritual journey as well as the therapeutic journey. The mindfulness journey.\r\n\r\nPlease take some time out of your day, relax and listen to this fabulous podcast that can help you take your own relationship to new highs. You can also watch this on YouTube."}
