A Mindful Approach to Relationships - Managing CONFLICT through Perceptual Positioning

As humans, when things make sense to us from one point of view, we continue to assume that there is nothing left to know and we sometimes lose the ability to view things from different perspectives...  I encourage you to open your heart and come from a place of abundance; allowing yourself to accept the differences from a standpoint of 'unconditional acceptance'.
