Nonviolence in this Moment

As much as I like this book, I took it off Amazon and keep it here on the website as a pdf download. I also include it in my nonviolence online courses. Writing it did prompt me to write the nonviolence journal and that is still available as a paperback on Amazon.

Beginning with self-reflection and self-assessment you will evaluate your thoughts, words, actions, daily habits around nonviolence. Finding personal peace and purpose is one part of the practice of nonviolence.

From a strong sense of self, you will look at your intimate relationships. When personal relationships get strained or emotions are hard to control there is much to do. You will discover the timeless techniques used in nonviolent communication and anger management. Soon you will be easily letting go of anger. Practicing your nonviolent communication skills in all your relationships will change your life.

For those with children, positive nonviolent parenting is emphasized including age appropriate moral development and understanding emotions. Teaching nonviolent social skills, deep relaxation and daily meditation to kids and teens can be a challenge in the age of the internet. Managing emotions is important for families, big and small. Therefore, mindfulness, emotional intelligence and nonviolent communication skills become more important as children move through the teenage years. Parents, teachers and caregivers can help children and teens discover deep peace. Consequently, they will enjoy a unique, powerful, nonviolent purpose driven life. 

Partners, relationships, raising children, families and our communities are all environments where we can stand against violence. For yoga students and yoga teachers, this book will help you become fully involved with the first ethical principle in yoga, nonviolence.
