As we learn to speak from the heart we are changing the habits of a lifetime.

What bores the listener bores the speaker too.

Needs are the expression of life through us.

Our survival as a species depends on our ability to recognize that our well-being and the well-being of others are in fact one and the same.

When you ride the wave, the thrill is so exhilarating that you forget everything else. You live in the moment where nothing else matters, so intent on riding the wave perfectly that you and the wave become one. Pain and worry disappear, replaced by euphoria, akin to flow. Similarly, when giving empathy, you want to strive for this kind of total presence for the person you are listening to.

When we judge others we contribute to violence.

Violence comes from the belief that other people cause our pain and therefore deserve punishment.
