I have tried to integrate the spirituality into the training in a way that meets my need not to destroy the beauty of it through abstract philosophizing.

In NVC, no matter what words others may use to express themselves, we simply listen for their observations, feelings, needs, and requests.

We need to receive empathy to give empathy.

You don't have to be brilliant. It's enough to become progressively less stupid.

Never hear what a jackal-speaking person thinks, especially what they think about you.

I try never to hear what another person thinks of me. I enjoy life a lot more when I spend as little time as possible hearing or thinking about what other people think about me. I go to the needs behind the thoughts. Then I'm in a different world.

Avoid 'shoulding' on others and yourself!
