“I have learned that human beings are not searching for philosophies, even though it may seem that way sometimes. We are searching for something we can trust. And when we find ourselves in the midst of change, the philosophies are like a broken crutch. They do not hold us up. What supports us is a force, an energy, a vortex of love that expresses through us as warmth, creativity, service, and compassion.”

“Another important capacity developed by NVC is my ability to experience authentic feelings and then to connect with my needs and longings so I can embody and communicate them. One of the fundamental steps in working with the complexity of feelings is to acknowledge that I am feeling something, that something is going on inside me. This requires self-honesty, even if I can’t name what I am feeling.”

“I am already whole as a being. I am not lacking anything. Seeking implies a lack, that I’m not experiencing something that I want to experience. For example, if I don’t experience being seen or understood or if there is another unfulfilled need, I might relate to it as lacking the need rather than valuing the need. It is this experience of lack that gives rise to seeking. Seeking is a function of the mind projecting into the future. It is outcome-oriented.”
