3 Color Cycle homepage

In a perfect world, loving and being loved should be as natural as breathing in and breathing out. Breathing is both an activity that our bodies do automatically—even while we are asleep—but at the same time can be deliberately stopped by us. Like love, it should happen all by itself, but our will has the capacity to upset its natural rhythm which can lead to breathing difficulties or even more dire consequences.

It is often said that "Growth takes time!” Of course this is true. But everything in this world takes time. However, taking time to grow does mean you must be prepared to take all the time available to you—past, present, and future.

The six stages of the Three-Color Love Cycle represent a continuous pathway to growth that encompasses all of the above. Being a cyclical process, you can start wherever you like. What's more, if growth in love ever drifts off your daily priority list, you can come back to the cycle at any time. This of course mirrors the way that Jesus keeps picking us up no matter what happens along life's journey.

    Thinking thinking- now more doing doing doing... Submitted by A Gray 10 Apr 10

    I am rational, and focusing on my own style for 28 days... I am thinking about what the book says on pg 97 (rational style), only when explanations are sufficient, does faith have a solid ground. Last week I started reading Matthew for the first time with a small group that has also read 3 Colors. Matthew starts out very rationally and it is helping me with my quest to "know" Jesus.

    The Importance of Inhaling and Exhaling Submitted by Tim Hufnagel 10 Apr 09
    First you have to become aware if the things you do provide or cost energy. I think I became aware of it pretty fast (Sure I still have know it even better). But than I started to get difficulties with inhaling because I didn't have a big variety of an inhaling repertoire, so it felt like inhaling the same air over and over again till there is no oxyen left.
