What Is Compassionate Communication, or NVC?
“Nonviolent Communication can change the world. More importantly,
it can change your life.I cannot recommend it highly enough.”

PresencePresence is an essential component of embodying and integrating NVC consciousness.
Inspired by Eckhart Tolle. If I am feeling constricted, I take a conscious breath and pause. Choosing to slow down allows more conscious presence to move into. I move into flowing with life. I invite you to slow down and take a breath and let go of all the doing. Bring your awareness to your breath. Feel the breath moving in and out. This creates a feeling of spaciousness within you. Allow yourself to flow into being with Presence. Breathing awareness is not a doing. It’s being aware of what is already happening. Being aware of the breath creates spaciousness. Many times during the day, take moments of presence. And as you do this more presence comes. When you are conscious of your breath, you can't be thinking. It's impossible. This creates spaciousness within you. You cannot think while taking a conscious breath. You are either doing one or the other. Slowing down is part of an awareness practice. Presence

NVC Founder ~ Marshall Rosenburg
Marshall Rosenburg PhD, clinical psychologist, developed Nonviolent Communication (NVC) in the 1960s.
NVC is a process of listening and speaking based on compassionate and honest self-expression. It is a powerful tool for peacefully resolving differences at personal, professional, and political levels. NVC is taught in over 65 countries. It creates a path for healing and reconciliation in many applications ranging from intimate relationships, work settings, health care, social services, police, prison staff and inmates, governments, schools, and social change organizations. _____________________________________________________
