Nonviolent Communication
\nSalad Halane (Somalia)
\nSalaad.Halane@gmail.com<\/strong><\/p>\n

Connecting with each other and with ourselves through the lens of Nonviolent Communication will help my innate empathy to flourish. By training my attention on what we are observing, feeling, and needing as well as what I am requesting to enrich my life, it helps me reframe the way I express myself to others and how I listen to them. NVC encourages heartfelt giving and genuine connection through active listening, respect, and empathy. Those who practice nonviolent communication (NVC) do so for a variety of reasons: some want to be more compassionate with themselves, others want to deepen their personal relationships, and still others want to improve their professional or political interactions. To mediate conflicts and disagreements at all levels, NVC is used all over the world.<\/p>\n

Below are some key points I found to be important:<\/p>\n

Giving from the heart is at the source of Non-violent communication. Nonviolent communication (NVC) is a method of communication advocated by Marshall Rosenberg that seeks to foster open and honest exchange. To use this method of communication effectively, we need to focus on both our own and the other person’s word choice. Through the practice of NVC, we can learn to communicate our needs and listen to those of others.<\/p>\n

Communication that blocks compassion. According to Marshall Rosenberg, there are four forms of alienating language that can get in the way of empathy: The practice of passing self-righteous judgments on those whose behavior falls short of our standards of decency. He is a slacker; she is a loose cannon. The second challenge is the temptation to draw parallels. Judging oneself harshly by holding up comparisons to others can make it difficult to have compassion for oneself and other people. The author lists the tendency to avoid taking blame as a third barrier to compassion. This prevents the individual from being fully aware that we are responsible for our own thoughts, feelings and acts. One example is the phrase “I have to,” which is used far too frequently.<\/p>\n

Observing without evaluating. Differentiating between observation and evaluation is the first step in nonviolent communication. Inadvertently switching between the two can lead the other person to interpret our words as criticism and react negatively. That Jean was late twice this week is an example of an observation; that she is chronically unreliable in terms of punctuality is an example of an evaluation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Identifying and expressing feelings. Identifying and expressing our feelings corresponds to the second stage of the process. Unfortunately, many of us have learned to work with our head rather than with our heart. For this reason, it is imperative that we relearn the language of the heart.<\/p>\n

Taking responsibility for our feelings. Another step in nonviolent communication is to take ownership of our emotions and learn what we truly need. The author proposes four possible responses to a message that is negative: Accuse yourself of wrongdoing, Stick the blame on someone else, try to put yourself in our shoes and try to understand our feelings and needs as well as the other person’s.<\/p>\n

Requesting that which would enrich life; to put in a request. The author suggests we adhere to the following standards: First, he suggests using language that motivates to act, rather than a negative message that leaves the receiver to infer our intentions. To be understood, the request must be sincere, brief and specific. The more specific we can be in our request, the better our chances of success.<\/p>\n

Receiving empathically. Marshall Rosenberg argues that to listen empathetically, one must listen not just with the mind but with the entire body. To truly hear the other person, we must \u201cput ourselves aside.\u201d Oftentimes, we want to help the other person by giving them our advice, comfort, or opinion when all they really need is to be heard. Listening attentively to another person’s observations, emotions, needs, and requests is the essence of empathic receiving in nonviolent communication.<\/p>\n

What Others Are Saying<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chinonso Ericson Judith (Nigeria)<\/strong><\/p>\n

What I have learned and How I have Changed?<\/p>\n

Since completing Levels One and Two, I have learned a lot in becoming a very positive hopeful individual and leader within myself and community. I learned to lead right no matter the situation even if it doesn’t please me yet I desire a peaceful loving co-existence with each other and as long as it’s bettering humanity<\/p>\n

I am becoming more vibrant, conscious in every aspect of my life, the books I read in both Level One and Two really in some way mentally supported me in my health, career, businesses, relationships, my choice of speech, marriage more positively. I could feel, see, understand how IIGL has been of guidance towards my path in life into becoming great and successful.<\/p>\n

Right now at this stage of my life, I am at peace with myself, growing and expanding my businesses, my finances while moving forward to my next level in advancing my career in anthropology, mental health, my health though so much stress on my legs even though I still have surgeries to undergo and grateful for everything that God has done, his doing and yet to do in my life, sometimes I even praise God for the challenges on my path into becoming the woman I am today. I believe God was preparing me for greatness and it hasn’t been easy either by my own strength but God almighty, he has given me peace of mind to function in every aspect of my life in fulfilling my purpose and destiny for his glory. I am gracefully progressing to attaining my dreams with consistency no matter how life storms could get I am unstoppable heavenly being, God is in me, for me and with me. I am a winner.<\/p>\n

Valuable Resources for Personal & Planetary Transformation<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sacred Science<\/strong>
\nThesacredscience.com<\/strong>
\nIt all started more than a decade ago when our film making team decided to see what would happen when a group of chronically ill people from differently walks of life left the comforts of their home environments to spend a month in the Peruvian Amazon working with shamans and plant medicine. After being guided to release the film for free and share these findings, you took it to heart. A community sprang up; full of knowledge seekers looking for more information about natural healing, plant medicine, and general wisdom from ancient cultures. And your continual hunger to learn more, live better and reconnect with the planet has fueled the mission to document, preserve and share this knowledge before it\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n

\nPlease join Dream Team 22 as our goal is to have 22 people contributing $22 per month. We understand that money is energy and that to sustain and build IIGL we need a lot of people pouring their energy into this endeavor on a regular basis.

So we are offering two options for those who wish to become a part of the Dream Team. One can commit to a $22 a month contribution or to spending 22 seconds each day holding the vision of IIGL becoming financially sustainable by the end of 2023!<\/p>\n
