Unity Consciousness

Communication is a deeply inward practice of self-connection and self- remembering as well as a very practical way of living, relating, and communicating in alignment with our deepest, most heartfelt motivations and values. The process engages our deeper longings and essential human qualities, such as:

• Living with full aliveness and fully engaged with self and others;

offers us further access to essential human qualities such as empathy, inclusion, and generosity of spirit. Once established, the empathic connection opens the way to navigating conflict and disagreements peacefully while stimulating our creativity to find mutually satisfying agreements and solutions.

It becomes apparent that the

• Connecting with our generosity and the desire to contribute to others;

• Including self and others with equal care and consideration; • Recognizing life in the fullness of its beauty and diversity with respect, reciprocal maintenance, and celebration; • Full empowerment and clarity for conscious choice making based on life-serving/life-affirming values and actions; • Bringing conscious intention to our highest aspirations for ourselves and our world.

it works:

Here is a brief summary of how There is a universally accessible

common ground for all human beings based in our deep, natural motivations and essential qualities. Once literate in the specific language that represents this common ground, referred to as Universal Human Needs in Nonviolent Communication and which I call our Universal Motivating Factors, we have the opportunity to recognize, verbalize, and experience the fundamental underlying connection between ourselves and others—simultaneously. This quality of connection is so profound in itself, it

power of peace lies in how we choose to think, to communicate, and to approach our lives and our interactions. At this critical juncture on earth we have the right, the opportunity, and the responsibility to choose conscious evolution, a significant aspect of which is to consciously embody and live our highest and dearest values and truths—in other words, to live and express our true human inheritance. I see it as our challenge to

live beyond learned duality and to integrate our divinity—our highest and dearest aspirations—into moment-to- moment choices. Ultimately, we can illuminate our divine human attributes via inclusion of self and other with full care, consideration, and respect as well as live with clarity, empowerment, and integrity. In short, the application of your awareness to yourself empowers you to set clear intentions and to make conscious choices founded in your essential human qualities, or Universal Motivating Factors, which inform your every action. This practical application of your deeper values to your daily choices is “being the change you want to see in the world.” This is conscious evolution. Unity Consciousness

Communication is a streamlined inner transformational practice that can improve the quality of any relationship and functions as a simple, direct tool for conflict resolution. It also offers a way to facilitate groups and meetings with clarity,

compassion, and expediency. This approach is strongly

founded in Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication model (cnvc. org), for which I am deeply grateful, and in clear recognition that who we really are is extraordinarily powerful, compassionate, creative, intelligent, and wise. It is up to us to remember and to live our true inheritance.
