Publisher's Summary

Relationships can be meaningful, difficult, challenging, exciting, rewarding, and devastating. But have you ever thought of relationships as a mirror into your soul? In this illuminating conversation, Deepak Chopra and internationally renowned author Shakti Gawain come from two unique perspectives to explore relationships and what they tell us about ourselves.

Chopra uses Vedanta's ancient wisdom to define the soul and relationship, while Gawain's insights stem from her expertise in personal growth and consciousness. No topic is left untouched as these great minds explore everything from the origin of the soul to the "shadow self", from multiple personalities to life after death. Relationships don't just happen; they come to you for a reason, and what they offer can bring you new understandings about yourself and others.

Critic Reviews

"[Chopra is] the poet-prophet of alternative medicine." (Time)

A great look at how we help each other

After we die our souls or ‘higher selves’ go on to another life. There is plenty of evidence of this from children being able to tell people of places and events they could never have seen or been part of. To using facial recognition technologies on photo from the past 200 years.

Here Deepak and Shakti talk about how we are here to help each other and why were here to help each other. Once you stop looking at you’re here one time and gone and start looking at this life as one lesson in a series to you begin to understand the soul and relationships.

Reflecting Self ter

I enjoyed the tape basically because it said to embrace the part of ur partner, mate, wife etc. u don’t like because it has a usefulness, positivity for urself in certain situations. For example if u think the person is selfish, controlling, u might need to be or used this behavior to grow more independent and self reliant, instead of victim or needy. Embrace the part u don’t like and u will be happier w urself and the other person. Don’t try to change the other person, control ur reaction.

Any additional comments?

the 'relationship' talk starts about midway and lasts only 30 minutes. all about developing shadows as our partner reflects these parts to us.
