RE: Zen reflections on NVC, hearing without judging
Hey there, interesting post. I think you were being more descriptive than judgmental. I also tend to go at it on my own, though ever since I started writing here I let my shit flow into written words every now and then. I think NVC is a good intention but in my book honesty is even better. And if being honest sometimes is getting a bit violent, so be it, as long as it doesn't get abusive.
To me it's more about the energetic intention on which you say things than the actual words. Did you say it to teach? Did you say it to hurt? Did you say it to warn? Did you say it to help? They all carry different energetic signatures and are closer to the true essence of any message. Well that's my 2 cents, for what its worth 😂
Hey - very worthwhile comment IMHO!
I hope I was being descriptive, that was the intention and I agree that being honest is better, even if anger does arise. I think I'm lucky in that being honest, anger isn't my particular flare, it's more sloth and agitation/ anxiety.
I agree with the intention- but if you're mindful to be careful of your intention, you're probably going to be in a state to choose the right words!
Having said that you've just made me think whether 'choice' of words is more of an issue if someone is trying to manipulate/ control someone else rather than help them, I think it probably is - I imagine there's a lot more talking involved in control rather than in helping people.
Just a hunch, now my brains off on another tangent, save that for later.
Thanks for the comment, appreciated!
