EDITOR'S COMMENT:
Most of you have probably heard of Nonviolent Communication (NVC). If you haven't, or have but would like to learn more, I just finished creating a section on NHNE's Community Website that provides an exceptionally clear introduction to Nonviolent Communication. Among other things, this section includes a stirring interview with Marshall Rosenberg, the creator of NVC, links to NVC websites and resources, and both simple and comprehensive introductions to NVC that can be downloaded and printed.
Here's a brief excerpt from a .pdf entitled, "Basics Of Nonviolent Communication":
"The language of NVC includes two parts: honestly expressing ourselves to others, and empathically hearing others. Both are expressed through four components -- observations, feelings, needs, and requests -- though empathic connection fundamentally relies on connection at the level of feelings and needs, hence observations and requests may or may not be articulated. Practicing NVC involves distinguishing these components from judgments, interpretations, and demands, and learning to embody the consciousness embedded in these components in order to express ourselves and hear ourselves and others in ways more likely to foster understanding and connection, to support everyone involved in getting their needs met, and to nurture in all of us a joy in giving and in receiving. The practice also includes empathic connection with ourselves -- self-empathy. The purpose of self-empathy is to support us in maintaining connection with our own needs, choosing our actions and responses based on self-connection and self-acceptance."
