Love For No Reason: 7 Steps to Creating a Life of Unconditional Love

By Marci Shimoff

Following on from New York Times bestseller Happy for No Reason, Marci Shimoff introduces a new paradigm of love in LoveFor No Reason, describing it as a state of being that doesn't depend on external circumstances. When a person experiences love for no reason, they don't need to get it from other people, the right partner, the perfect body or a great job. They bring love to the world around them, rather than expect love from it. In short, they aren't looking for love - they are love.

Supported by the latest findings in neuroscience, Love For No Reason offers readers breakthrough methods to experience unconditional love in every area of their lives. The book begins by defining this new paradigm of love, underscoring why there has never been a more important time to cultivate it. It then outlines a practical programme to develop and nurture this love from the inside out. LoveFor No Reason introduces the groundbreaking concept of the 'Love Body' - a positive energy field that encompasses and enriches the body and mind.

This revolutionary programme is based on the most recent scientific research on the biochemistry of love - including cutting-edge studies and interviews with experts such as Dr Mehmet Oz. In the final section of the book, Marci supplies readers with strategies for maintaining unconditional love in the face of everyday challenges in the areas of relationships, work and overall health and wellbeing.

Reviews for Love For No Reason

[ionas_7 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is an inspired and inspiring book, an essential book.In these times of impending ascension, it is imperative that we all open our hearts. This book is a key factor for us to achieve this goal.In part II The Love for No Reason Programme Marci presents various doorways, one for each chapter, each doorway representing one of the seven chakras. She provides two love keys for each doorway together with useful exercises. She also includes many personal stories, told in the first person, to illustrate her theme. (I really enjoyed these stories, all of them.)Throughout the book she cites innumerable “Love Luminaries”, renowned, extremely loving persons, who have succeeded in opening their hearts. Some of these are well-known, others less so.Marci presents innumerable valuable techniques by which we can open our hearts. She includes scientific evidence to back up her statements. Obviously, learning to love oneself is essential, and there is a complete chapter devoted to this.One of the techniques I most enjoy is that of “beaming” love to people. I have previously just sent love mentally, but now I’ve learnt to beam love from heart to heart. I’ve been in ecstasy all day from doing this – it really opens the heart and makes it ache in a wonderful way. It is a delightful technique.I’ve personally discovered that one can beam to large groups of people at once for an even stronger effect (on oneself). Marci states that if you beam love to dogs they notice (people generally don’t) and look at you interestedly. I tried out the technique on a dog walking with its master in a park. The two were at least 100 metres away, perhaps more, on another path than myself, but the dog immediately turned its head and looked at me intently, as I continued beaming to it, until we’d moved away from each other. Even the dog’s owner noticed that it was unusually interested in me, for apparently no reason.This book is an absolute delight, the most enjoyable book I’ve read, perhaps ever, and also one of the most important. It is one I shall have to purchase. It’s also a wonderful idea for a gift.
