Résumé: | Buddhist meditation practice is perceived as non-relational. Yet a serious meditator develops an intimacy with herself that is an asset to being in a healthy relationship.

The intimacy of a relationship with oneself, with another and within family provides a container that may enable us to let go of our fixed sense of self. |
