Conscious communication

” “If we want to be compassionate we must be conscious of the words we use. We must both speak and listen from the heart.”

“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.”  “

- Marshall B. Rosenberg

To communicate consciously requires attention to two areas:

- I need to speak from awareness of what I am perceiving, feeling and needing, and

- Through watching and listening, I need to be aware of those same needs in others.
