Most of us were taught that listening

was a means to determine

who and what is right or wrong,

how can I get this or that,

fix it,

advise,

convince,

assure,

deny,

win.

 

Compassionate Communication is a model and tool for practice;

a personal process wherein we can become more alive, in harmony

and compassionately available to meet our needs.

 

You are invited to experience and cultivate a skill for engagement in

authentic communication:

 

Honesty:

The courage to acknowledge true feelings and accept these messengers.  Honesty can lead us to identify our needs and take specific action to fulfill. 

I want to be discovered and embraced.  I can begin personal and social transformation by listening to what is.  A person’s need for connection and empathy, safety and freedom can be met as anger, guilt, fear, anxiety are expressed.

Self-Empathy:  

When no one else is able to listen to you,
you can focus on your experience in a way that creates life-connection
within you.  This allows for peace, time and space so that you are available again, to be in authentic communication with others, finding compassion is alive.

Empathic Listening:

Imagine some time and space to tell your story, share your beliefs, values, visions, hopes and fears.  To feel and remember.  To question and hunger.  A time and space where there is no “history” between us, no agenda, anxiety or fear of creating more anger, distrust or annoyance. To speak of your day, all your relations and be heard for all you are worth.  A place in time where we can go anywhere together.  We’ve never heard it before.  It’s your expression in this moment.  I will listen.

 

Celebration:  We will know when we have arrived at the place of life affirmation.  Here, I no longer seek approval, praise or punishment as motivators to contribute to our experience.  I am alive. 

 

          Compassionate Communication  is a model for transformation
                          of life-alienation                   toward life-connection.
