Full Description
Love Is More Than an Emotion—It's a Buildable Strength for Facing Your Greatest Challenges
 
When we're confronted with crisis, what inner strength helps us the most? Courage? Self-control? Sheer determination?
 
Many of us might be surprised to discover that in times of need, our most powerful ally is love.
 
"Love, of course, is an emotion," teaches Sharon Salzberg, "but love is also an ability." Open to Life invites us to cultivate this quiet strength in support of ourselves and others. Through six sessions of in-depth teachings, guided meditations, and engaging practices, you'll join this celebrated meditation teacher to explore: how the inner critic hinders our ability to care for ourselves and how to overcome it, practices to bring greater authenticity and balance to our relationships, how to expand our capacity to love difficult people, how fierce compassion protects us, how love opens us to all of life's experiences, and more.
 
When we gather a reservoir of love for ourselves and others, hardships become easier to face, challenges less daunting, and positive events more appreciated and joy-inspiring. Open to Life shows us step-by-step how to build this essential resource.
