There are many kinds of meditation. Each tradition, modality or technique works differently from the others. Each does different things, and they have different goals or aims.

However, one shared goal or aim of most kinds of meditation practices is knowing yourself better, becoming less reactive, and becoming more consciously aware in day to day life. One common benefit is a reduction in stress, along with a correlated reduction in the physiological symptoms of stress such as hypertension and digestive issues, among others.

These are tremendous benefits from meditation that align with your NVC practice: approaching situations with less emotional charge, and being able to respond rather than react.

NVC will benefit your meditation. Meditation will improve your NVC. We expand on these ideas and possibilities below....

I am trying to eliminate rules in our house.

I want to move towards a home where everyone’s needs matter and everyone feels seen and heard and understood. Where we form mutual agreements rather than top-down adult-only rules.

Here’s how we’re going about it.

A difficult-to-navigate topic has been rocks.

Specifically, rocks in the house...

GIVE ME ALL your money now!”

“Are you desperate and needing money to survive?”

In a narrow alley in London, this was how Aniruddha responded when, late one night, a tall man jumped out of the darkness and blocked his path. Aniruddha was staying in the UK while training as a Nonviolent Communication (NVC) trainer, before returning to India to bring NVC to the vast community of Dalit people with whom he is connected, the people who used to be labelled the ‘untouchable’ caste...

I’ve been incarcerated for 22 years. I started taking a weekly nonviolent communications class just (NVC) six weeks ago and found out how useful it was just recently, when I came before the Parole Board. They asked me to give them an example of how I’ve changed, how I deal now with conflict. I told them that, just last week, I was confronted with a situation that would illustrate my new attitude. A guy I didn’t know well approached me aggressively and made some assumptions about what he thought was true. Rather than getting defensive and triggered, as I would have done in the past, I instead thought ‘Hmm, I wonder what’s going on with him; what’s behind that anger?’ He was surprised at my approach and that I listened to him rather than get back in his face...

The premises underlying the practice of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) often stand in stark contrast to the messages we receive in the culture at large - whether from our parents or teachers while growing up, or from the media or other cultural venues for the rest of our lives. They also, often enough, belie what we see around us in terms of human behavior. To take just one example, how much evidence do we see on a daily basis that would support the assumption that human beings enjoy giving? If we just look at how people behave, without adding layers of contextualizing their choices, there’s no question that the conclusion that people are selfish would be much more warranted...

Releasing Our Judgments
An underlying theme in a Nonviolent Communication consciousness is to translate our judgments into feelings and needs. It is impossible to value other people’s needs and remain compassionate if we simultaneously harbor judgments. Releasing judgments, however, can feel like a monumental task....
