Download or read book The Heart of Unconditional Love written by Tulku Thondup and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unconditional love that we all long for can be experienced in the practice of loving-kindness. In this popular form of meditation, the love inherent to our own nature is gradually expanded until it embraces infinite beings. Tulku Thondup introduces a new four-stage format for this practice, rooted in the traditional teachings of Tibetan Buddhism: We first meditate on the Buddha of Loving-Kindness as a body of unconditional love and receive his blessings. This spontaneously awakens his unconditional love in our heart. We then find the whole world reflecting back to us as a world of love and peace. Finally, we remain in oneness in the realization of ultimate love.
Download or read book Unbinding the Heart written by Agapi Stassinopoulos and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Unbinding the Heart, author, speaker, and Huffington Post regular Agapi Stassinopoulos invites readers on an inspiring journey of inner exploration to reconnect with their true selves. Born in Greece, a country that celebrates life, Agapi learned the essential truths of happiness through the examples of wisdom, caring, playfulness, and generosity she saw all around her, starting with her own mother. She came to realize that everyone is born with an open heart, but that we quickly learn to put conditions on our happiness-comparing ourselves to others, casting judgment, doubting ourselves, allowing fear or entitlement or self-righteousness to take hold-and slowly our hearts begin to close. We isolate ourselves, feeling alone, disconnected, and unheard; and in doing so we immobilize our spirit, stifle our authentic expression, and cut off our joy. As she went on, Agapi, like so many of us, came under the soul-constricting influences of the larger world. In her struggle to find her place and her voice, trying to balance the acting career she dreamed of with the spiritual life she longed for, she discovered a path that was uniquely hers. Unbinding the Heart shows how she found her way home to herself. In 32 personal, heartfelt stories full of insight and humor, Agapi takes us from her mother's bountiful kitchen, where the seeds of fearless living were planted, to the London classical stage, to an epiphany on a New York City bus-and inspires readers with the confidence to let go of the beliefs that bind them and come to a deeper understanding of life and love.
Download or read book Unconditional Love written by Eddie Shapiro and published by Trafalgar Square. This book was released on 2003 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last ten years we have witnessed a massive rise in self-help and development books reflecting a growing dissatisfaction and a longing to be happier and more personally fulfilled. But too often these are simply quick-fix solutions that temporarily restore an emotional or mental balance and give some clarity and direction but fail to offer a more transformative result. Unconditional Love shows that without a direct connection to the spiritual aspect of our being we miss out on the vital grounding and motivation that is necessary for personal fulfilment. Ed and Deb Shapiro specialise in making the ancient truths accessible and applicable to everyday life and, more specifically, in reaching those who are seeking a spiritual direction free of religious doctrine. They believe that the answers are within us but that we have to be willing to go further within ourselves to find them.

Download or read book Love and Respect in the Family written by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The secret to parenting success is out! Children need love, parents need respect. It's as simple and complex as that. Bestselling author Dr. Emerson Eggerichs has studied family dynamics for more than 30 years, earning a Ph.D. in Child and Family Ecology. As a senior pastor for nearly two decades, he builds on a foundation of strong biblical principles, walking the reader through an entirely new way to approach the family dynamic. When frustrated with an unresponsive child, a parent doesn’t declare, “You don’t love me.” Instead, the parent asserts, “You are being disrespectful right now.” A parent needs to feel respected, especially during conflicts. When upset a child does not whine, “You don’t respect me.” Instead, a child pouts, “You don’t love me.” A child needs to feel loved, especially during disputes. But here’s the rub: An unloved child or teen negatively reacts in a way that feels disrespectful to a parent. A disrespected parent negatively reacts in a way that feels unloving to the child. This dynamic gives birth to the FAMILY CRAZY CYCLE. This book teaches you to: See love and respect as basic family needs Stop the Family Crazy Cycle of conflict Parent in six biblical ways that energize your children Discipline defiance and overlook childishness Be the mature one since parenting is for adults only Become a loving parent in God's eyes, regardless of a child's response Based on what the Bible says about parenting, this book focuses on achieving healthy family dynamics. Dr. Eggerichs offers unprecedented transparency from his wife and three adult children, who share wisdom gained from the good, the bad, and the ugly of their family life. It's all here in this eye-opening exploration of the biblical principles on parenting that can help make families function as God intended.

Download or read book 22 Minutes of Unconditional Love written by Daphne Merkin and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Daphne Merkin meets the formidable challenge of describing female lust and romantic obsession with all the desired daring, candor, and skill. The result is a bracingly honest, keenly insightful, utterly compelling book.” —Sigrid Nunez, author of The Friend A harrowing, compulsively readable novel about breaking free of sexual obsession A novel of unsurpassed candor, punctuated by bold ruminations on love, marriage, family, sex, gender, and relationships, 22 Minutes of Unconditional Love depicts one woman’s psychological descent into sexual captivity. This is the story of the extremes to which she will go to achieve erotic bliss—and of her struggle to regain her soul. As Daphne Merkin’s audacious new novel opens, a wife and mother looks back at the moment when her life as a young book editor is upended by a casual encounter with an intriguing man who seems to intuit her every thought. Convinced she’s found the one, Judith Stone succumbs to the push and pull of her sexual entanglement with Howard Rose, constantly seeking his attention and approval. That is, until she realizes that beneath his erotic obsession with her, Howard is intent on obliterating any sense of self she possesses. As Merkin writes, his was “the allure of remoteness, affection edged in ice.” Escaping Howard’s grasp—and her own perverse enjoyment of being under his control—will test the limits of Judith’s capacity to resist the siren call of submission. Narrated by Judith in a time before the #MeToo movement, 22 Minutes of Unconditional Love charts the persistent hold the past has on us and the way it shapes our present.
Download or read book Be Love Now written by Ram Dass and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2010-11-02 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “May Ram Dass’s intimate and heartfelt account inspire others to find their own path of true love, compassion, and joyful service.” —Thich Nhat Hanh, author of The Heart of Buddha’s Teaching Ram Dass’s long-awaited Be Love Now is the transformational teaching of a forty-year journey to the heart. The author of the two-million-copy classic Be Here Now and its influential sequel Still Here, Dass is joined once more by Rameshwar Das—a collaborator from the Love Serve Remember audio recordings—to offer this intimate and inspiring exploration of the human soul. Like Deepak Chopra’s Book of Secrets, the Dalai Lama’s Art of Happiness, and Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Coming to Our Senses, Ram Dass’s Be Love Now will serve as a lodestar for anyone seeking to enhance their spiritual awareness and improve their capacity to serve—and love—the world around them. “Be Love Now, like Be Here Now, is equal parts memoir and manual of meditation. It’s hard to believe the two books are separated by more than thirty years. The writing in Be Love Now is as fresh and charged with insight as the earlier one.” —Los Angeles Times “If the West even approaches enlightenment in the Twenty-first Century, there’s no way to overestimate the role of Ram Dass in making it happen. He planted seeds that turned into a million trees; if and when they blossom, they will exude the fragrance of his teaching forever.” —Marianne Williamson “Be Love Now reveals the true meaning of yoga, the union of the open heart—this is required reading for anyone who follows a path of devotion.” —Daniel Goleman, New York Times–bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence

Book excerpt: In this true story, Karen Sacchetti writes of a magical and devastating time in her life that began as a thrilling love connection. Searching for love, Karen met Peter, a handsome charmer living in South Florida. After only four months of a long-distance relationship, Peter asked her to leave Rhode Island and move fourteen hundred miles to marry him. Soon after arriving in sunny Boca Raton, Karen realized that her dream was turning into a nightmare. Plagued by Peter's alcoholism, womanizing, and incessant attention seeking, their fairy-tale romance quickly spun out of control, leaving Karen alone and disheartened. Her only confidant was Mike--Peter's younger brother. Although Mike proved to be Peter's polar opposite, giving her the love and loyalty she sought, Karen soon experienced new challenges, this time with the love of her life. Her journey provides the reader with a piercing view of the ravaging and destructive effects of Mike's alcohol addiction and how their lives intertwined in a most unusual love story. Through all the adversity, Karen learned to press more deeply into God's strength to see her through each day. When none of her friends or family members saw the darkness surrounding her, God knew what she was facing daily. Karen not only unveils the details of the dark maze she was in, but illuminates how God's promises were fulfilled in her life. She received unconditional love from an all-loving Father, God. Could she extend the same love and grace to those who had hurt and betrayed her?
