This Sunday tele-event is for those who would like to deepen their experience with the three modes of Nonviolent Communication: Self Empathy, Self Expression and Empathy for Others. No previous experience needed. You will be held in this co-created nurturing container of the Wisdom Circle facilitated by Mair Alight, Certified Trainer/Consultant with the Center for Nonviolent Communication (www.cnvc.org) and Collaborative Trainer with BayNVC.. The format of this tele-event: a check-in at the beginning, followed by rounds of silence (5-15 minutes) followed by each person sharing the experience they had in the silence as the others of us listen. Check-out round at the end of the call. Pass is always an option! Once we have listened around the circle, we go again into the silence, repeating this until the session is complete.
In a culture that emphasizes judgment, criticism, punishment and blame, the need to be heard and to matter are two of the greatest unmet needs. Smith teaches that true empathy meets those needs. Smith says, "People want empathy and not sympathy." She teaches that often sympathy, the expression of pity, is confused with empathy, total presence, hearing and acceptance of another's reality. To practice true empathy, we learn to put aside a life time of cultural conditioning. That takes a lot of practice. Smith teaches when we are empathetic, we do not judge or blame, agree or disagree, wonder what he can do to help, or how we might respond. . We sit in quiet, still presence with an open heart. This requires gentle attentiveness to our own state of mind. Ashok Nalamalapu img http://j.mp/13Fabee
Want to clear your inner path toward your 2013 goals? Negative self-talk keeps you from experiencing your potential every day–your potential to feel free, blissful, loving, hopeful, and excited about life. Even a momentary distraction of anger, shame, blame, or fear can derail you from a peaceful and uplifting experience and take you way of course from your personal goals. Most of us feel embarrassed or frustrated that this negativity comes up and keeps us from getting back into the flow of loving life.
Empathy is a fashionable concept at the moment and I celebrate this. Learning to listen with empathy is, I believe, the most important step towards a more peaceful and sustainable world.
Applying the NVC approach to empathy means listening to what someone is expressing beyond the words they use. Most people have been educated to express mainly their judgements and analysis. So being able to hear their unexpressed feelings and needs is a great gift to them – it’s reaching out to what is really alive in them and not only staying in the relatively narrow realm of the mind. If their judgements are directed towards me then empathy is also an essential act of self-protection!
Irmtraud Kauschat is a medical doctor in Germany who works with alternative medicine, Compassionate Communication (NVC) and restorative conflict processes. She uses empathy in her medical practice and has done conflict mediation in Kenya. Empathy is like creating bridges between people. The opposite is like a big river between people where they are separated.
Compassionate Communication/ Nonviolent Communication (NVC) trainer. How we can build a culture of empathy? Use the phone and Skype to ask for good empathy when upset about a relationship (in order to support that relationship, not for bitching/gossip). Use social networking to set up empathy connections as well as share funny pictures of cats Don't forget to talk and listen to the neighbors
Empathy is a respectful understanding of what others are experiencing. Instead of offering empathy, we often have a strong urge to give advice or reassurance and to explain our own position or feeling. Empathy, however, calls upon us to empty our mind and listen to others with our whole being... Marshall B. Rosenberg
Fearless Compassion: The Gift of Empathy
I want to give you the gift of empathy
And to rid myself of lifeless thought limiting what I see
It’s taken me a while but I’ve come to see at last
How much I miss the present with eyes fogged by the past
So if I take some time before I answer you
I am clearing away my projections
So your divinity can come through
~ Dr Marshall Rosenberg~ http://fearlesscompassion.wordpress.com/2012/03/09/the-gift-of-empathy/

Newt Bailey talks about Empathy and the group gives him Empathy.
In this video, Nonviolent Communication (NVC) trainer Newt Bailey talks about his experience and the nature Empathy at his NVC practice group in Walnut Creek California and the group gives him Empathy. January, 24, 2011. (Video on Vimeo) ' There is an attention to everything when you are empathizing. For example, in discussing an idea in business, if I’m paying attention to you fully, I get way more than just your ideas. I might hear hesitancy or enthusiasm when you talk about the idea, and if so, I want to hear about that as well.'
The basic 40-hour mediation training is designed to give participants the skills and tools they need to serve as neutral third party mediators. This is an experiential training using a wide range of formats including role plays, videos, lectures, discussions, and skills demonstrations.
To be truly at ease with yourself and those around you is transformative. The first step is to approach every conflict – whether internal or external – as an opportunity. When we understand and communicate our needs with clarity, and with deep empathy for the universality of those needs, conflict leads to connection. The illusion of separation from self and others crumbles. Finally, we are at home in the world.
The most extensive collection of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) resources on the web. Articles, videos, books, trainers and more.

All that has been integrated into NVC has been known for centuries about consciousness, language, communication skills, and use of power that enable us to maintain a perspective of empathy for ourselves and others, even under trying conditions....
"Empathy, I would say is presence. Pure presence to what is alive in a person at this moment, bringing nothing in from the past. The more you know a person, the harder empathy is. The more you have studied psychology, the harder empathy really is. Because you can bring no thinking in from the past. If you surf, you'd be better at empathy because you will have built into your body what it is about. Being present and getting in with the energy that is coming through you in the present. It is not a mental understanding." Marshall Rosenberg "I compared empathy to surfing. I said that empathy is like riding on a wave; it's about getting in touch with a certain energy. But the energy is a divine energy that's alive in every person, at every moment. Unfortunately, many of us are blocked from that divine energy by the way we've been taught to think. But for me, empathy is getting with that energy that's coming through the other person. It's a divine experience. I feel as if I'm really in a flow with divine energy. And when two people connect in that way, any kind of conflict can be resolved so that everybody's needs get met. When we teach people to empathize with people from other cultures who are behaving in a ways we do not like, we find ways of resolving our differences peacefully. So empathy is a beautiful experience when we have it. And it's powerful to work toward peace in diplomatic relationships based on empathy, not on our usual adversarial tactics. Now when we can empathize with what's alive in another person, it's amazing how much healing can go on. Unfortunately, there's a lot of healing that needs to happen in the world because of the pain people are in, and I'm often called to help individuals who have been victimized by people with different religious beliefs." http://www.noogenesis.com/nvc/surf_nvc.html
Tragically, one of the rarest commodities in our culture is empathy. People are hungry for empathy, They don't know how to ask for it.... Marshall B. Rosenberg

1. Clarity of Intention
What are the intentions behind my desire to teach NVC?What do I want others to be getting out of this?What am I wanting to get out of (or learn from) doing this?What is the relationship between what I get and what they get?Do I see myself teaching the truth? Is it possible for others to have a different truth? How do I see the relationship between their truths and mine? How important is it that others agree with my teachings on NVC?
