@suedseefrucht that's definitely another very important quality of a best friend! Being able to trust hat they will let you know if they think you're doing something wrong or are putting yourself in an unhealthy situation. Open and honest communication is so beneficial to any relationship and to each person on an individual level too.

Success in communication

When a man and a woman comes to together as one people , they need to have one common things together and that is , feeling , emotional intelligence and respect . One partner need to be wise and other need to fool when its comes to disagreement in communication , they need to be vigilant to continue to promote peace and love so that they will continue to have a strong and healthy family with fear or favour

If you're saying you are in a long distance relationship, those can be very challenging. Especially when you can't travel to see each other face to face, and perhaps don't know exactly when you will see each other again. As always in any relationship, communication is key, so make sure you share how you're feeling and what you need with each other. Although time difference can complicate things further, phone calls, video calls, and messages can help keeping the connection and feelings alive. 🌻

This particular part of the course is helping me with my patients. Not only how I work with them, but how they can learn about their communication as well. We spent a week doing our groups all on communication exercises.

There is 3 main things I learned from past relationships: 1. I Everyone gives and receives loves in a different way. It is so helpful to know your own and your partner's love language to avoid misunderstandings and show appreciation. There are 5 different love languages: 1) Physical touch 2) Words of Affirmation 3) Gifts 4) Quality Time and 5) Acts of Services. 2. Boundaries are healthy! We need to feel happy and fulfilled to make our partner happy. Of course a healthy relationship is about making compromises, listening, and understanding - but never at the expense of your own needs. 3. Communication is key: Listen to understand, and not to respond. Don't take things personal and don't make assumptions! Remember that humans cannot read minds. Always be honest and open! Don't use words like "always" or "never". Instead of " You make...", say "I feel...". Pause before you speak.

Cheating often ruins a relationship as your partner can find it very hard to trust you again. Perhaps consider why you want to be with someone else behind your partner's back, and strive for open and honest communication with yourself and with your partner. Can you explore ways to find passion with your partner?

It's a process. First, the communication, the patience, the change of behaviour, then the consistency and over time, trust will build up again. There are certain parts of an effective apology that I think play an important role here as well.

In general I would say very open and honest communication is key, and if the situation is that the trust has been lost it's also important to let your actions demonstrate that someone can trust you again. Remember to be patient with the other person, it might take some time 🙏

Through out this course, I have been reminded of the Safe Space for myself and for others. It opens my heart to love more fully with compassion. Mastering my time to create Safe Space for myself, has opened more more time to create Safe Space for others. The communication has improved.

Thank you for sharing ? It's important to remember that we don't know what someone else is going through or dealing with, so instead of making assumptions and judge - we should always try and lead with kindness. Communication is also important here; instead of getting upset with someone, ask them how they are ?

Children actually tolerate Covid much better than adults. However, there are many complications associated with vascular thrombosis in children. There are already statistics for England and this is bleak (I would vote for distance learning but I see that it does not work for primary school. My child is ready to play games for boys all day long if i don't control it. I have never limited him, but I see that only live communication and the presence of a teacher in the class motivates him to study. How are your children learning now?

I think in many cases it all comes down to communication in relationships, so perhaps you can try talk to your boyfriend about how you're feeling and how some of his words and actions don't resonate with you. He might be unaware of how it's making you feel, so I would always suggest trying to communicate in an open and honest way. Good luck, and remember you and your feelings are important! ✨

I have learned about being mindful in communication, after doing this course. The other day I was with a friend, discussing on youth entrepreneurship in our town. As we go on exchanging views, I just realized that I had used the word 'Negative' while referring to our youth shortcomings. There and then, I felt uncomfortable that I used the word 'Negative' which wasn't right and it also brings in negativity into our discussion. I'm grateful that I have become aware of what I speak out and I have again reaffirmed that i will listen attentively to what the other person had to say without any impatient and hurry to reply. I must be mindful of what word I use while speaking to others.

@Kymera Excellent point! I - too - lack the right word. Personally, I'd prefer to be genderless unless having sex is involved. The rest of the time just like @Jason-randomnumber said "I'm Tine" and that's good enough. But what's the word for that? I do not have any suggestions that do not sound odd. But that's probably part of it until a new language, and with it, a new understanding is established. I am German, and in German, all words have one of 3 genders. We have used the male version for the plural unless the group is explicitly female. This way subconsciously we often assume, for example, doctors to be male. (I am explaining this in an extremely simplified way, I bet there are much better explanations out there. Please check out those if you want to know more!) For a while already there are efforts in consciously including both genders in written and spoken language. First it's a bit strange, but I also find it very inclusive and beautiful, and I am grateful for the many efforts out there, and I try to use this way of communication more consistently myself.

Today I clicked onto another members profile who had responded with a like something I wrote yesterday when I signed up. On his profile was a link to an article that appeared in the Guardian Newspaper digging deeper into research that has discovered that humans are at their most miserable at 47 years old, well 47.2 to be precise. Now this may or not be the day it went to press but the day it came into my awareness is exactly 47 years and 2 months to the day when I was born at Kings College Hospital, London. I would be a churlish man to guarantee nothing outside my control could not unexpectedly dissect my life and pose a threat to me or my wellbeing. But as friends will have picked from me throughout 2019 I have experienced recent changes that were traumatic and brought me to a place where I did not recognise people I thought I knew, up from down, true from false. In a dark moment of being alone and very sad I felt as though I may have been the one who betrayed himself. But inside that dark moment and out from that insight. A deep question had flowered within, if 'I' had been the one who betrayed 'myself' then who was 'I' and who is 'myself' since there is only one of me? This was a very important question to ask myself because the answer was nothing that my mind knew or could answer. My mind had been stumped. While my brain shrugged at its lack of knowledge. That realisation resonated with the awareness that has a very strong connection to my gut and my heart, the still, silent awareness at the core of my being. Conscious who 'I' was, I became witness to my mind and mindful of the thoughts that come and go as my brain presents a conceptual understanding of the world around me intended to help me navigate life's path surviving danger and meeting certain fundamental needs. Having awakened to this new found vista of consciousness and allowed my brain enough time to comprehend what it did not itself have scope to have deduced. I found another answer glowing out from the darkness as blatant and as bright as light. Love, self-love will protect against any instance of self betrayal. So I began to practice meditation more and start to change the relationship with myself generating self-compassion, more self-love and a searching enquiry to better understand my needs, to develop a better language related to the needs we all have. If life is dependant on basic needs being met, and those needs are universal and the same for each individual. Then our greater knowledge of our needs is vital to be sensitive and empathic towards our own efforts to meet them and understand what our instincts are doing when we react when they are not being met or something or someone is obstructing us from what we need. So I listen intently to my emotions, guiding me to meet them and this helps me understand more what may be alive in others, who are in conflict with me or others, when something is or is not being done that results in their needs not being met. Knowledge of ones needs lets me see how this drives people to act. They may not know how to say this non-violently, they may just know that their needs are being frustrated and they are blaming the cause of their anxiety. But all conflict results from a need that is not being met. We can learn a language which allows us to be honest and direct with pin point precision of the way we are feeling, what is alive in us, and with practice you can learn how not to blame others or accuse them of wrongdoing and show them what is happening that is blocking you from what you need to thrive and enrich your life and the lives of others willingly. Out of self-love comes compassion and greater empathy I am sure. Essentially I had more growing to do, and as far as I can work out it looks very like the Universe is my best friend too. Because everything being placed on my journey was showing me exactly what I needed to learn the lessons that I needed to know. I am an extremely grateful embodiment of carbon in consciousness. While I am unable to calculate my worth in a material sense, I can be confidently assured in any given moment, that I, like you, am priceless. Anything, including negative thoughts or anyone suggesting otherwise in the direction of worthlessness is not using the language of non-violent communication they most probably just don't know how to speak it. Whether they are conscious of this or not they are abusing you and not willingly sought to enrich your life, and so it spells the end, it is at odds with your true value, they don't have to see it your way, that is their own deficiency, not yours and so this is the time to walk away from their toxicity don't try to steer someone towards a lesson that the universe is very much in command of, forgive them, when you are ready to not feel hurt by holding the hurt, let it go and say a prayer asking the Universe to bless them with the same kind of insight that I feel I have received. Find the life underneath the life situation, the story of things happening to me and don't identify with the ego's fondness for drama and conflict. Let your life love you back to the you you have always been, you are perfect just as you are without conditions attached. And for me personally the most important person who needed to really know this life lesson has been me. Thank you gorgeous universe for the gift of getting more appreciation of living before I die, and for the amazing gift of being me. Xxx P.S they say from here on in - everything starts to look up! ?

Lovely to 'meet' you, Astrid. I love music too. It's been an outlet and a saviour for me since I was very young. I love to sing (mostly to myself), but don't play instruments, although I often wish I learned when I was a child. I remember being very young, around 5, and getting a casio keyboard for my birthday. I taught myself to play Eidelweiss as it was my grandma's favourite song. When we moved house a few years later, the keyboard was stolen, and my parents couldn't afford to replace it. I often think of that keyboard and what it might have meant had we kept it. Anyway, I think any communication within the community is great, so thank you for taking time to introduce yourself. We're happy to have you in our little community.✨

After this part of the course, I started working on my communication style. I now try to listen until the person venting asks me for feedback or some advice. More importantly, I also very clearly feel that sometimes I want to talk about what is happening and not get suggestions on how to solve something. With more awareness, I realize that I do not feel taken seriously because while it's well-meaning, I think it's rare that someone knows and understands the situation much better and has the one great tip that I have overseen. Even if it is like that unless I am asking for help, feedback, suggestions, I am not ready to listen to them. As a result, I find myself in the even more draining position having to justify why things are the way they are, which makes me feel even more down and less open to suggestions. Experiencing this from my perspective it makes it much easier for me to listen patiently and wholeheartedly. Often the speaker sees a possible solution or switches their perspective while talking out loud. Our thoughts can lure us into the feeling that they are true while they are just assumptions, and when we speak to someone else, we can easier become aware of that.

It seems that the course is so well timed with what’s going on in my life. This last week or so (I’m moving through the course slowly) has been filled with challenging interactions and a gratefulness for the resources. I mentioned at the beginning not liking being told what to do and having somewhat of an aversion to guided meditations, but I actually enjoyed them this week. I did the lake one first and was so happy to be told to lie down for the practice. The imagery of nature is something I related to the most so I appreciated the guidance and appreciated that there was only guidance for half the mediation and there was quiet space to observe at the end. I was a little disappointed to not be given the option to lie down for the mountain meditation but it made sense considering the nature of the meditation. I especially found it helpful when my sister called to vent about her frustrating experience with Centrelink (our welfare system in Australia). Even though I had suggestions it would have been pointless to any anything until she had finished because she needed to be heard and to have the chance to let everything out, so I listened and told her I could hear and understand how frustrated she was and when she had finished totalling I made 1 suggestion which she thought made sense. While I was listening I was imaging the mountain with passing seasons and just watching them and I really did observe my sister go from frustration to exhaustion and then a kind of calm in having been heard. I find one on one conversations easier than group conversations as everyone seems so quick to throw in their opinion or knowledge and I never seem to find the right space to enter the conversation. Sometimes I retreat that as I think that I could have shared something useful and other times I just sit back and save my energy and realise that it’s not that important. Focusing on communication has been a good practice this week to observe my reactions and responses internally rather than acting out external responses. The focus on what is being said has also helped me to hear what is underneath what people are actually saying

I agree with the above posts. We all deserve happiness and we’ll being. Wishing this for people we are not getting along with is difficult but I still do it. I also try to pray for them and me to have a better communication so that we can develop a healthy relationship.

@neuguru How does one use soul communication? Tell me more ?

I used soul communication when words and emotions failed. Now I we hardly have arguments or differences and love between has only grown. When souls communicates they exchange not a manipulation of what our minds.

From what I have read from the above post, the practice is more focused on the mind and body. But according to my learning, the mind and body is an illusion created by our spirit or soul and thus focus should be on the inner spirit as the truth lies in the soul. As an example, when I do readings for people, the first thought that comes to the mind is usually the one that comes from the soul and is the right one. However, for a person to be able to let go off the mind and focus on what the soul offers, the soul and the mind has to be connected. Which is not the case in most people all the time. This awakening of the soul and engaging in soul communication comes only with practice.
