Sharing an Article on "Nonviolent Communication"

Check out this article in the publication "dharma life" on this formalized model of communication that promotes a non-threatening, non-judgmental, mindful and compassionate way of interacting with others in challenging situations.

Pretty neat stuff. I know for myself separating my evaluating mind from what's factually going on in the particular dynamic I find myself caught up in is EXTREMELY difficult. I'm constantly evaluating the situation against my needs and what I want to get out it rather than truly listening to the other person and their needs and feelings. This is another area in my life that I can work to practice the precepts to the best of my ability and hopefully get better at being truly a good listener.
