In this episode of the Zen Stoic Path, we talk about nonviolent communication and how it can benefit your relationships. To get access to the Zen Stoic Meditation, DM me on Instagram at https://instagram.com/victor.zenstoicNonviolent Communication (NVC), developed by psychologist Marshall B. Rosenberg, is a communication and conflict resolution framework designed to foster empathy, understanding, and peaceful dialogue in various interpersonal and social contexts. Here's a summary of its key principles and components:Four-Step Process:Observation: NVC encourages people to describe observable actions or situations without judgment. This step promotes clarity in communication by avoiding vague or evaluative language.Feeling: Participants are encouraged to express their emotions in response to the observed situation. Identifying and sharing one's feelings helps create a connection between individuals.Need: NVC emphasizes the importance of recognizing the underlying human needs that drive our feelings and actions. Identifying these needs helps to build empathy and understanding.Request: In the final step, individuals can make specific, actionable requests to meet their needs. These requests should be clear, positive, and free from demands or coercion.Empathy: NVC places a strong emphasis on active listening and empathetic communication. It involves truly hearing and understanding another person's feelings and needs without judgment. This process helps foster trust and mutual respect.Avoiding Judgment and Blame: NVC discourages the use of judgmental or accusatory language, as it can lead to defensiveness and conflict. Instead, it promotes non-blaming and non-shaming communication.Self-Expression: NVC encourages individuals to honestly and openly express themselves. It promotes self-awareness and self-responsibility for one's feelings and needs.Conflict Resolution: NVC is often used as a tool for resolving conflicts by facilitating communication that addresses underlying needs and promotes mutually satisfying solutions.Connection and Understanding: The primary goal of NVC is to create a connection between individuals by fostering understanding, empathy, and cooperation. It aims to build bridges between people rather than walls.Application: Nonviolent Communication can be applied in a wide range of contexts, including personal relationships, workplaces, community settings, and even international diplomacy. It offers a way to transform adversarial and unproductive communication into more harmonious and productive interactions.In summary, Nonviolent Communication is a communication framework that prioritizes empathy, understanding, and peaceful resolution of conflicts. It seeks to replace judgmental language with clear, non-blaming, and emotionally honest communication while addressing the core human needs that underlie our feelings and actions. By promoting these principles, NVC aims to create stronger connections and more effective problem-solving in various aspects of life.

Summary: Most of you know, what inspires me to do the work I do today, including bringing this podcast to you was from having to go on my own personal healing journey from trauma, addiction and chronic illness. When I was going through my darkest days suffering from ulcerative colitis and found myself with two organs on the table, my liver and my colon. I didn't know what to do. All I knew was that I had to leave western medicine. I did just that and one of my first calls was to today's guest, Dan Hegerich. Dan is a terminal cancer survivor and an amazing human being. I knew he could help. Dan's approach to integrative wellness started me off on the right path and honestly I'm not sure I would be where I am today without him. His knowledge, wisdom and expertise as it relates to integrative holistic healing and his personal story of healing from terminal cancer I felt had to be shared with you. So we created this episode to help you wherever you are on your journey to experience more health, wealth and happiness.  In this episode a few takeaways you will leave with are:  How your biggest challenges in life whether that's a health challenge addiction, or some other crisis can be your greatest gift. The obstacle is the way!  Dan shares how he healed from terminal cancer and if you want to get sick do what the masses do. He shares how to get back in accordance with nature's laws to live your healthiest life.  How your diet is not just what you consume through your mouth but what you put on our skin, what you see through your eyes, your ears and including your thoughts. And what we can do to begin to support our environment so we are consuming an overall more healthy diet.  Learn Dan's 7 pillars of health and healing that align you in accordance with nature's laws and away from man's laws which he says will always lead you to illness.  Dan believes illness and addiction are a result from living lies which CREATES a profound disconnection from our TRUE SELF and our purpose.

His approach to dynamic health emphasizes reconnecting with self-love through nutrition and movement therapies rooted in the seven elements of healing: Earth, Water, Air, Fire, Mind, Love and Rest. Most of Dan's inspiration and knowledge was born of his own experience transcending a form of cancer-diagnosed “terminal”.  After a failed bone marrow transplant in 1995 and subsequent 4 more relapses; Dan applied his expertise in civil engineering to healing himself, which involved reversing a cycle of degenerative disease and embracing a positive, generative cycle of multi-faceted nourishment.  During the last 20 plus years, Dan has traveled widely in pursuit of pioneering knowledge of natural health and healing earning certifications in sports massage therapy, holistic counseling, corrective holistic exercise kinesiology, holistic lifestyle coaching, applied kinesiology, qigong, nutritional balancing science, life coaching and conscious breathwork.

Arlina shares her personal story of being sober for over 26 years and the discontent she always felt in early recovery as she quotes “trying to solve the wrong problems.” Arlina shares how she fell into the trap of thinking “if she only made more money” or “had a better body” that all her problems would go away.

Links & Notes Hearts In True Harmony About Katie Hendricks Conscious Loving Ever After: How to Create Thriving Relationships at Midlife and Beyond by Katie and Gay Hendricks

As woman we find it very difficult to say no to any request that comes our way. We have been taught to be helfpful, and kind and be yes women. And so we have been trained to want to please everyone and put everyone else ahead of our own needs. Even when we don’t have the time or the desire to do so. Sometimes we even feel our body resisting, but we don’t listen! All this people pleasing…leads us to a live a life we may not have wanted. In today’s episode of Food, Success & Life for the Modern Woman, Katie Hendricks talks to us about learning to tell the difference between the yes and the nos….by taking our cues from our body. Living and loving consciously. Creating the life we truly want to live. It’s amazing that her teachings are in tune with our guest from last week Aimee Eoff, about listening to our body…our intuition. If you didn’t catch that episode, make sure to listen to it next.   What is Conscious Living and Conscious Loving? Conscious Living is being able to fully participate in life by choice, so that we are fully understanding what we really like and don’t like, what we want and don’t want. It allows us to make decisions from the inside out as opposed to from the outside in. The way that most humans are raised is from the outside in, with structures, laws, rules and shaming, to police our behavior. When we live consciously we don’t need all that because we are living in alignment, the way life is flowing. So that if we agree to do something we do it. And we know how to express our feelings and experiences and thoughts. The basic benefit is that we get to be awake and alive. We get to participate fully in our life while we are in it.   How do we Start Living Consciously? So how do we live our life responsively rather than reactively? Where we’re creating our life rather than leaving to the effects of circumstances.

When your spouse or partner wants to do something but you really don’t want to, how do you reconcile that feeling in your body? Compromise is a relationship killer. When people have to think of a relationships as settling for less, it’s not going to appetizing to anybody. People keep tuning into “what do I really want?” If one person wants to eat one thing, and their partner wants something different, what emerges is a solution not a compromise. It’s more of a synergy. Start practicing with your choice of clothes, or restaurants before you start listening to your body on big decisions like whether you want to marry someone, or whether you want to buy a house.   Tips to Start Engaging With Spouse Toward Conscious Loving Communication is a game of toss. Think of yourself as a toddler in the realm of communication, like tossing a ball back and forth will allow you to be at ease with yourself rather than critical. Say to him “Tell me more” and you’re tossing the communication back on his court. Then you can use “Ooh, then what happened?” And you can also use “What interests you most about that?” Also use body sensations. Katie explains how to do this and how it will evolve over time with practice. It’s quite powerful and effective. You will learn that your conversations will be about discover as opposed to about blame.   Why Goosebumps are an Important Body Signal? Goosebumps is a rush through the skin and the whole body.

In this episode, Kathlyn Hendricks talks with us about how criticism and blame get in the way of true intimacy in relationship. She offers perspective on the damaging cycle of criticism between partners. She gives us some important keys into shifting out of criticism. She also provides some valuable tips about how to create change in your relationship even if your partner is not on the same page. Katie helps us look at what is possible when you end criticism and blame in your relationship. KEY POINTS TO CONSIDER: Blame and criticism are the number one relationship killers, as they are the reason why most people leave their close relationships. Criticism creates a sense of shrinking away and distancing response in the person being criticized. Criticism erodes at the positive bond and connection in relationship. Criticism almost always comes from a fearful place: the experience of “I am scared of something, and I look over and I think it is you that is making me scared.” Criticism creates a fear and adrenal cycle that keeps partner’s hooked in a negative loop and prevent them from creating intimacy. The only thing to do with criticism is to stop it, by making a commitment to end criticism and blame. It is important to see criticism as a defensive move and look at the underlying experience. By committing to stop criticism and blame, partner’s make room for genuine appreciation, support, and giving and receiving quality attention. In each moment, we have a choice in relationship, to either expand in learning and authenticity or close up in protection. We can’t do both. Be sure to listen to the podcast episode to hear more valuable tips, as well as how to specifically move out of a critical stance.  MENTIONED: Conscious Loving Ever After: How to Create Thriving Relationships at Midlife and Beyond, by Gay & Kathlyn Hendricks (book) Conscious Loving: The Journey to Co-Commitment, by Gay & Kathlyn Hendricks (book) Conscious Loving 5 video series, by Gay & Kathlyn Hendricks (videos on website) Foundation For Conscious Living (website) Hendricks (website) Hendrick’s Trainings (website) Hearts In Harmony (Facebook page) PROGRAM: HOW TO TURN CRITICISM INTO LOVING COMMUNICATION REGISTER HERE.

What does it take to have a relationship that can thrive well into your 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond? What are the best ways to FIND a conscious relationship? Or to shift your current relationship into a place of being energized for what’s possible? And have you ever wondered why it can be so easy to blame someone else in an argument - and if there’s any way to eradicate criticism and blame from your relationship once and for all? Today’s guest is none other than Gay Hendricks, co-author with his wife Katie of the classic book Conscious Loving, as well as the new book Conscious Loving Ever After: How to Create Thriving Relationships at Midlife and Beyond. Along with his wife, Gay is one of THE experts on how to have relationships that fit into the new paradigm for love - relationships that continue to grow and be a source of inspiration both within the partnership, but also for the communities surrounding the relationship. He has been a leader in the field of relationship transformation for over 45 years - and has appeared on Oprah, 48 Hours, CNN, and...today he is here on Relationship Alive.  Take a listen! My conversation with Gay covers the following topics: Conscious Loving Ever After, his new book with his wife Katie (or Kathlyn) Hendriks, picks up where their original Conscious Loving (1992) left off. What does it take to have a thriving relationship into midlife and beyond? Are you taking into account your stage of adult development in your relationship? Does your relationship reinforce where you’re at in life? Even if you’re in your 20s or 30s, are you setting yourself up for long-term success in your life and relationship? How do you find a partner for a conscious relationship, or shift your current relationship to a conscious relationship? Step One is getting really clear on what you want in your relationship. What would you want to be committed to? What would you want your partner to be committed to? In our conversation, Gay recounts the steps he took on his personal journey to a “conscious loving” relationship with his wife, Katie. He crafted a “prayer to the universe” - a list detailing EXACTLY what he wanted in a relationship. Step Two is to be clear about what you absolutely DON’T want. Gay had created a list of the three “must haves” and the three “must not haves”. Step Three: After you’ve created your list of  Three Absolute Yesses and Three Absolute Nos in your relationship, the next step is to set a clear intention (some might call it a “prayer” - but you’re at least making a clear commitment to yourself) that you will NOT settle for less. That you are perfectly fine being single rather than settling. Are you ok being alone? At this point it’s worth mentioning that if you’re NOT ok with being alone...what’s up? I’m not saying that you have to be ALONE alone, living like a hermit in some cave. Why not enjoy your community and your friends to the fullest, and the way that you can create intimacy with them, the way that your life and creative spark is (hopefully) supported by them, and let THAT send ripples out into the world (which has a good chance of leading you and your future partner to cross paths)? What are the core commitments for a lifelong conscious relationship? A commitment to honesty and integrity A commitment to creative growth A commitment to taking personal responsibility (no blame and criticism) Are there any that you would add here? What feelings come up for you as you make your list of musts and must-nots? In making a “list” of requirements, it’s important to acknowledge the feelings involved in each item: fear, sadness, despair, pain, love, excitement, etc. Can you feel those feelings and have compassion for yourself? Loving yourself more opens up more opportunities to love your partner. Develop the skill of being present. To be “present” or “in the moment,” you have to open your heart, mind, and body and befriend your feelings. Can you be curious about your own feelings? Can you tend to the part of you that’s feeling them, especially the difficult emotions? Can you guide yourself through that instead of looking for a partner to do it for you? Are you committed to your own Creativity? Many people realize at some point that they have sacrificed their creativity to fit into some “role” in life. However, allowing yourself to do something creative every day, to surprise yourself, will allow you to grow the part of you that is the unique expression of YOU on the planet. The more that you can be more fully YOU, the more that you can more fully be in relationship with a partner and encourage them to be more fully them. Pay attention to how you’re using technology. Today’s technology actually brings more opportunities to be dishonest with your partner unless open-hearted communication is a priority in your relationship. Are there things that you’re hiding from your partner? Or are you letting technology get in the way of direct, face-to-face (and heart-to-heart) communication with your partner? Can you commit to having a relationship free from criticism and blame? It’s easy to get addicted to the little bursts of adrenaline that we get when we criticize or blame our partners, and yet no force is more destructive in a relationship. How can you stop blaming and take responsibility? First step is to commit to looking within for the answers. Try a “wonder-shift,” - saying something to yourself like “Hmmmm, I wonder...what it is that I’m doing that keeps causing this experience to happen?” or “Hmmm, I wonder...what my partner’s experience of me is right now?” or...you get the drift, right? :-)         Resources: www.hendricks.com - Gay and Katie Hendricks's website www.neilsattin.com/gay is the direct link to this episode.
