Peaceful Living: Daily Meditations for Living with Love, Healing, and Compassion
Mary Mackenzie presents the concepts of NVC in an easy-to-use collection of daily meditations featuring brief stanzas and simple daily exercises. Each day, beginning with January 1st, contains an introduction, insight, or inspired quote from such notables as Albert Einstein, Martin Luther King Jr., Rumi, and Confucius.
Through the 366 daily meditations, you’ll learn new ways of viewing familiar everyday situations and discover tools to transform those situations into opportunities for connection and personal growth. Each meditations in this gathering of wisdom is designed to move readers away from turmoil, strife, and divisiveness and lead them toward peace, resolution, and cooperation.
This shift in consciousness is challenging, but with the words and ideas of this book, readers can assemble a collection of practical tools for peaceful living. The learned behaviors of hate and resentment and the cycles of revenge are broken down and replaced with the skills of nonviolent communication, including recognizing one's needs and values and making behavior choices in alignment with them. This collection presents new ways of viewing familiar situations and daily reminders of the value of living compassionately. Each meditation includes an inspirational quote and tips for integrating the message into the reader's life.
