Path of the Golden Heart: Conscious Dating in an Unconscious World Paperback – November 4, 2015

Beautifully written, and so helpful for single people to stop suffering in dating and to have a practice to date with an open heart and conscious awareness in how to take care of oneself during the process of getting to know a potential partner, often a perfect stranger. And to do all that responsibly !

Cindy says conscious dating is, "Knowing what you want and need for a partnership, and standing for those wants and needs being met." Sounds easy...why then do most of us struggle in the area of relationships?Path of The Golden Heart provides a skillfully crafted roadmap with wisdom, and exercises that guides us through rewriting old beliefs that no longer serve us, and challenges us to expand our emotional intelligence. It also encourages us to ask important questions that so often we are unconscious to.Some of the exercises consist of questions that many of us will go our entire lives never fully knowing where we stand! They help to bring clarity, and consciousness to some tough issues.If you are looking for a guide to help navigate the sometimes-murky-waters of relationships, this book will help you to make the shift to conscious dating!

Excellent resource! As a Life and Business Coach, I teach the principle "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of intervention/cure".This book will help you to avoid common breakdowns and unnecessary suffering in the dating process, and will help you lay the foundation for, and get off on the right foot with the relationship you have been longing for!

What a wonderful book. Just what i've been looking for. I feel that it was written just for me ; ) Complete with very useful exercises for removing obstacles and suggestions for opening to Love! This is a large format book, 8.5 x 11. If it were printed the size of most books it would be 400+ pages long. In other words there is a LOT of information and it all rings true.

My first introduction to Cindy Jarrett and her work was when I saw a flier about her book signing. The title alone, “Path of the Golden Heart: Conscious Dating in an Unconscious World” immediately drew me in. I went to the signing and knew I had to have this book!>> I've been on a path toward being more aware and conscious, and in my life and certainly the dating world I have experienced and witnessed the many unconscious ways of relating. Hearing about Cindy's knowledge and experiences with teaching Conscious Dating Practices, on which the book is based, made me comfortable giving this avenue a try.>> I started reading and realized that this compilation presented a unique and very much needed approach to dating...and being. It wasn't long before I realized that my questions: “What was I doing wrong? Is there any one out there for me? Is it worth trying? Am I destined to be alone? Why do others date and find partners effortlessly?” were more about 'me' than anyone else or any deficit out there. Also, her references to spiritual practices and concepts appealed to me.>> As I worked through the exercises, particularly around emotional development, I wondered if it would be possible for me to work with someone, perhaps even the author herself? I'm the type that takes in and processes well through different levels of interaction so I called Cindy for her free consultation she offers. I immediately felt acknowledged for who I am and okay where I am with regards to dating and relating.>> I've now worked with Cindy for several months, and have found the direct interaction to be invaluable. We've connected in a way that allows me to be comfortable being myself, and I have felt very supported in moving forward. Cindy's manner of relating with fun and humor, a lightness of mind and heart, is something that I have appreciated in our work together. As she's gotten to know me, how I tick so to speak, she's honed in on the teachings and exercises (in the book) that would best serve me for where I am. The direct communication, such as giving feedback and asking questions about particular lessons and tools has been extremely helpful. Preparing and reviewing exercises for the sessions has kept me in motion and on track. I am now dating with greater ease I never imagined possible.>> In terms of dating, the second part of the title “Path of the Golden Heart: Conscious Dating in an Unconscious World” caught my eye initially. Now, the first words also resonate with me. My work with Cindy has helped me acknowledge the amazing Path that I am on and my capacity for Gold in the Heart arena, for both myself and others. It's been an honor to have Cindy guide me on this part of my journey.

In therapy we often hear a phrase “do your healing work” but then are left with little tools to accomplish this. What does that even mean?Even if you are not searching for your beloved just yet, this book will educate, support, and guide you to be a more conscious, true, and authentic version of yourself. Amongst paragraphs of wisdom, you’ll also find guided exercises that help you navigate emotions within yourself, or around relationships- not just romantic. This is the book that will help you “do the work” and, should you wish, eventually find a beloved partner. 5 stars for Cindy Jarrett 🙌🏼

What a fabulous book! So many pearls of wisdom… I don't know where to begin! Cindy speaks in such a pure, straightforward language that is direct, yet gentle. Her no-nonsense approach is 'chicken noodle soup for the soul' and will absolutely help anyone who is looking for an easier path in relationship. I especially like her introduction that talks about "if you don't have time to read this, read chapters 4 and 5, and if you can't find time to read it all, at least read the bold print." I love her writing style, and it's very difficult to put down! I like that she uses herself as an example for what went wrong in her own relationships and what is now going well. It's about time we have a 'nut and bolt' approach to conscious dating! Well done, Cindy!!

I highly recommend this book! My perception changed from when I started reading to when I ended the book. It shows that one doesn’t have to be a victim in love but a creator.
