In our relationships we want to feel close and connected to others, but this is hard to do if we keep closing our heart and finding fault with others. We often don’t realize that the experience of finding happiness and feeling fulfilled in our relationships is really a matter of choice. In this series we will explore meditations for keeping our heart open so that we can feel closer, more connected and more content in our relationships.
