Excerpt from
www.cnvc.org:
”We
are trained to make careful
observations free of evaluation, and to specify behaviors and conditions
that are affecting us. We learn to hear our own deeper needs and those
of others, and to identify and clearly articulate what we are wanting in
a given moment. When we focus on clarifying what is being observed,
felt, and needed, rather than on diagnosing and judging, we discover the
depth of our own compassion. Through its emphasis on deep
listening—to ourselves as well as others—NVC fosters respect,
attentiveness and empathy, and engenders a mutual desire to give from
the heart. The form is simple, yet powerfully transformative.
While it is taught through the use of
a concrete model, and is referred to as “a process of communication”
or a “language of compassion,” Nonviolent Communication is more
than a process or a language. As our cultural conditioning often
leads our attention in directions unlikely to get us what we want, NVC
serves as an ongoing reminder to focus our attention on places that have
the potential to yield what we are seeking—a flow between ourselves
and others based on a mutual giving from the heart.
Founded on language and
communication skills that
enable us to remain human, even under trying conditions, Nonviolent
Communication contains nothing new: all that has been integrated into
NVC has been known for centuries. The intent is to remind us about what
we already know—about how we humans were meant to relate to one
another—and to assist us in living in a way that concretely manifests
this knowledge.
The use of NVC
does not require that the persons with whom we are communicating be
literate in NVC or even motivated to relate to us compassionately. If we
stay with the principles of NVC, with the sole intention to give and
receive compassionately, and do everything we can to let others know
this is our only motive, they will join us in the process and eventually
we will be able to respond compassionately to one another. While this
may not happen quickly, it is our experience that compassion inevitably
blossoms when we stay true to the principles and process of Nonviolent
Communication.”
