I was inspired by a conversation yesterday to write something about Nonviolent Communication. So here goes. Nonviolent Communication is a communication framework and awareness tool, created by Marshall Rosenberg. It fosters empathic communication and compassion. It is based on the belief that we, in our nature, are compassionate beings, built to connect and to enjoy giving and receiving. Rosenberg postulates that much of the language we are using disconnects us from our compassionate nature. He calls it “life alienating language”. He says that we tend to communicate in a way that makes it less likely for us to create real connection and less likely for our needs to be met. Some examples of “life alienating language”. Moralistic Judgments Making evaluations or moral judgments about people without understanding their feelings and needs. For example, saying, "You are lazy," instead of expressing your feelings and needs like, "I feel overwhelmed because I need support." Comparisons Making comparisons that imply one person is better or worse than another. For instance, "Why can't you be more like your sibling?" Denial of Responsibility Avoiding responsibility for one's actions or feelings. For instance, saying, "You make me angry," instead of taking ownership of your emotions and expressing them as a response to a specific situation. Demands Using language that implies demands or commands without considering the other person's autonomy. For example, saying, "You need to do this," instead of making a request with an understanding of the other person's willingness and capacity. He has developed another communication pattern that focuses more on our underlying needs. Observation Start by stating the facts as objectively as you can without making and judgements. Feeling Express your feelings that are triggered by this observation and acknowledge that they are a result of needs being met or unmet. Need Express the universal human need that underlies the feeling. Request Formulate a clear and actionable request that is concrete, positive and doable. There is a lot more to this way of communicating than I can fit in here and it takes some practise getting used to. But in my experience it is incredible how much connection and joy this way of communicating creates.

Here I offer a guided meditation in which we are invited to systematically open awareness to more and more of experience, until we rest in complete, open awareness. Meditation can be challenging at times. Occasionally we may experience things which surprise as a result.

In the third episode of our Nonviolent Communication miniseries, Michael, Hari Prasada, and Rasanath take us through a central teaching of the framework: O-F-N-R. This teaching allows us to separate facts from interpretation, identify our emotions, determine the “why” behind our emotion, and then healthily enroll others in helping us meet our needs. This teaching is really where the theory moves into practice. Links:www.upbuild.comwww.upbuild.com/enneagram101 Instagram: @upbuildnycFacebook: UpbuildLinkedIn: Upbuild

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.

In the second episode of our Nonviolent Communication miniseries, Michael, Hari Prasada and Rasanath take a deep dive into the incredibly tight connection between needs and feelings, exploring how the nuances of these terms affect our conversations and interactions. They reveal how our needs are connected to feelings, how many of us mistakenly use the word “feeling,” and the importance of seeking understanding. They also discuss how acknowledging our feelings and unmet needs can open up a path to self-awareness and compassion for others. Links:www.upbuild.comwww.upbuild.com/enneagram101 Instagram: @upbuildnycFacebook: UpbuildLinkedIn: Upbuild

What is relational neuroscience? Why is self-compassion important in the anti racism space? In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, anti-racism educator, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism.
