Book excerpt: What we carry emotionally and physically is never far from the foreground of all that we do, perceive, and communicate, both verbally and nonverbally. To effect real change, to do more than talk a good game requires us to rediscover what we love about the paths we are choosing and then through deliberate, committed, intentional practice come face to face with the histories we've embodied, our deeper selves, our greatest gifts, and the motivation to stay the course of becoming who we choose to be. Somatic Consensus practices for embodying Nonviolent Communication offer a path to: * Reclaim our empathic faculties to stand firmly on common ground * Align what we deeply value with our choices, words and actions "A great way to have hope about the most heated and wounded relationship." ~Kathy Buys, Psychologist"David puts the meat on the bones of NVC." ~Kenneth E. Perry, Ph.D PHD "I was breath-taken and filled with hope connecting to the possibilities of teaching NVC through these examples. It seems that more and more NVC practitioners are including the body in their work; David has his own unique way of doing that and I just hope that as many people as possible could access his work. ~Fran�ois Beausoleil, International NVC Trainer and ConsultantDavid Weinstock is the originator of Somatic Consensus, executive director of Liminal Somatics.
