Rosenberg Marshall B. Being Me, Loving You

PuddleDancer Press, 2005. — 80 p. — ISBN: 9781892005168 / 1892005166.Many of us think of love as a strong emotion, a feeling we have for another person. Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication helps us take a wholly different and life-enriching approach to love. Love is something you "do," something you give freely from the heart. Learn how to express yourself nakedly and honestly to your partner, friends, or family, for no other purpose than to reveal what's present or alive in you. Discover what thousands of people around the world already know: A heart to heart connection strengthened by joyfully giving and receiving from the heart is the love you long to experience.In these rich pages, Rosenberg helps us learn how to give and accept love willingly - without guilt or obligation. Discover the gift of connecting to what is present or alive in the other person, to receive it empathically, connecting only to what they've expressed and what they'd like. Develop extraordinary relationships where you're not required to prove your love in the form of attention, praise or physical affection. This giving and receiving is an authentic and joyful manifestation of love much more profound than any transient feeling.
