Difficult relationships- You have them, I have them. They come in many forms- an uncommunicative spouse, an emotionally disconnected lover, an unappreciative child, and irascible aging parent..an abusive employer..rude drivers..noisy neighbors..You feel you could be happier if those people would only change. Our guest on Chi For Yourself, John Welshons, says the problem isn't other people, it's how we perceive them. John Welshons is the author of One Soul, One Love, One Heart: The Sacred Path To Healing All Relationships. www.chiforyourself.com click "audio".
