relationships

Having someone special in your life can make the whole world feel like a wonderful place, but when there is imbalance in the relationship, nothing feels worse. 

Finding balance between what you want and what the other person wants is challenging sometimes. What you want might be in conflict with what the other wants. Being able to communicate wants and needs in a way that does not blame or shame the other for not meeting our expectations can bring balance to a relationship. For learning this I have a few recommendations. The book, "the four agreements" By Don Miguel Ruiz, and his book "the mastery of love". These two books give a framework for how to be in relationship with someone and maintain your whole self. They illustrate the necessity of being whole and interacting with your partner this way. Another great author for this kind of message is Eckhart Tolle. His book "the power of now", is a great tool for learning about the importance of being whole and fully present. For communication strategies I will recommend "non-violent communication", this is a foundation created by Marshall Rosenberg, who is now passed away but left all his brilliant work in the hands of the foundation which now teaches it all over the globe. His techniques can be found in you-tube videos.
