Written by a married pair of relationship coaches who have practiced their trade for over two decades, How to Create A Magical Relationship is a self-help guide that centers upon the core principle that one must be complete and fulfilled with oneself in order to create a satisfactory relationship with another. Chapters address how to refine one's com- munication skills and focus on listening and understanding rather than agreeing or disagreeing; how to free oneself of worry over silly things; and learning to adopt a positive attitude and outlook toward oneself and one's future, and how to tell whether one's current relationship is viable for the long term. Through self-improvement, anyone can prepare themselves to share a truly magical relationship with the right person; How to Create A Magical Relationship walks the reader through the process with numerous illustrative sample dialogues drawn from the authors' years of case studies.

Having read plenty of books on relationships and trying to navigate my way through man approaches, I have found Ariel & Shya's book a true gem. The book is a very simple and fun read that is eye opening and starts working right away. Their principles of transformation apply to all areas of life and are very practical which is an added bonus. I have found it an essential tool to have a wonderful relationship with myself, where I am gentle, loving and compassionate. Their techniques have not only improved the number of dates I have but the satisfaction I get from them as well. I truly believe this book has transformed the way I relate to men, in particular, and to life in general. Furthermore, it has had an outstanding impact in all my relation- ships. What I like the most is how I have learned to have fun and be more myself than ever before! Hesitate not, buy this book now and start living the life you deserve!! |

Miracles do happen! The work of Ariel and Shya Kane and this book have made me see this! The book is really terrific - I laughed, I smiled and was touched. What I love about the book is that it talks about real life situations and it is so practical! I really recommend it to anyone looking to have a great relationship, with a significant other, a friend, a parent, a child, a client, a co-worker, even themselves. It is very easy and fun to read, there are even exercises to do (if you want). It is hard to believe that something as simple as the Kanes' approach can have a huge profound impact on my life - I see such a difference with how I relate to my husband and my children after reading this book. I have more patience and I listen to them. Sometimes I go back and open up to a page and find what I read there very applicable for the moment. So miracles do happen - read the book and you'll see!

There are a lot of books on the market that attempt to teach you how to improve your relationship by working on it, but only one which promises that the best results will come by not working on it at all. In How to Create A Magical Relationship (revised edition), Ariel and Shya Kane explain how the three principles of their technology of Instantaneous TransformationTM can help to completely transform your relationship while you do absolutely nothing towards making any changes.
How can this be?
The Kanes, who have been married for over 20 years, realized during a rocky time early in their marriage, that the more they tried to work on themselves and each other, the worse the bickering between them would become. They had been through the gamut of self-help classes, yoga, meditation, counseling, etc., but found that they were still at odds with themselves and each other. Their last attempt was a workshop which ran seven days a week, 24 hours a day for six months, which completely wiped them out both financially and emotionally. One day shortly afterward, while walking up a hill in San Francisco, returning from the beach to their rented room, Shya suddenly realized that he was already living in what Zen matsers would call a "self-realized" state and he declared in that moment that he was "done" working on himself. He immediately stopped picking on himself and Ariel, and she followed suit. Not only did the bickering stop once and for all, they also discovered a depth of compassion for each other that they had never before experienced, and which they find continues to grow ever deeper and stronger over time.The Kanes have since devoted their lives to developing and teaching the principles of their remarkable discovery, known as Instantaneous TransformationTM, so that others, too, can learn how to create and maintain the same magical relationship that they have been enjoying with each other for years. The Kanes define Transformation as what happens when you discover how to live in the moment. To this end, the Kanes have developed what they call the Three Principles of Transformation:
Principle #1. Anything you resist persists and grows stronger. This principle explains how trying to change an unwanted behavior usually results in perpetuating the behavior.
Principle #2. No two things can occupy the same space at the same time. This principle basically means that anything that has ever happened, could only have happened exactly the way that it happened, because that is how it happened. When fully understood, this principle of accepting the past, warts and all, removes the feelings of both guilt and resentment that can ruin a relationship.
Principle #3. Anything that you allow to be exactly as it is without trying to change or fix it, will complete itself. This principle states that simple awareness of an unwanted behavior is enough to stop the behavior once and for all. The Kanes use walking through a darkened livingroom as an example, whereby with the lights out, you can't see the furniture and end up tripping over it. Once you turn the lights on, however (awareness), you can see exactly where the furniture is and you can easily navigate through the room without bumping into things
In How to Create A Magical Relationship, the Kanes explain all of the above principles and how they pertain to your relationships through a series of examples taken from their own personal experiences as well as the from the experiences of people whom they've counseled over the years. Included also are various exercises designed to heighten your awareness in the moment that can easily be incorporated into your daily routine. Even if you've already read the first edition of How to Create A Magical Relatio- nship (originally titled Working On Your Relationship Doesn't Work) the revised edition explains many of the concepts in greater detail and is well worth reading through again.
An interesting and enjoyable read, the writing is amazingly light considering the profoundly transformative principles that are being discussed. How to Create A Magical Relationship is truly a masterpiece of the self-help genre and is destined to become the first "line of defense" for troubled relationships.

It’s all about the moment. It's that simple. Living in the moment is an inspireing way to just "be" to have an extraordinary life. It is possible to have fun and not be serious and be enlightened (notice the word"light" in enlightenment). Ariel and Shya found a way to live and now so have I. The Kanes present 3 simple principles of transformation in this book. Worrying and complaining about my relationships was a constant in my life, now just simply noticing that without judging myself allows it to dissolve in an instant (principle 3: Anything you allow to be exactly as it is completes itself). The 3 principles of transformation are tools that I use in my life. They are not rules, just reminders of how to stay present and engaged in my life. Since reading this book, my life is now beyond amazing, so go for it, go for the endless possibilities of magical relationships and a magical
life.
