Why can't we find love or stay in love? Human relationships require a new awareness. First we must know that we are already complete beings. We do not need another person to complete us. Through the practice of Zen meditation, where one learns to quiet the mind, we begin to understand our selves. These important lessons are for anyone who has experienced recurring patterns in her relationships and wants to see the source of her insecurity, jealousy, possessiveness, or disappointment. By learning to meditate, sit still, and observe our thoughts, applying Zen to our everyday routine, the author leads us down a path of stepping stones to love. where we slowly let go, forgive, clean up our space, relinquish control, and be ready and open to receive the kind of love that lasts.
