Words Can Change Your Brain: Mindfulness in Personal and Business Conversations
Mark Robert Waldman & Chris Manning
Effective communication is essential in virtually all aspects of life, but the latest neuroscientific evidence shows that the expression of any form of negativity is damaging to both the speaker’s and listener’s brain. Whether it takes place at home or in the workplace, negative speech cre- ates interpersonal stress, neural dissonance, and work-related burnout.
Mark Waldman, Andrew Newberg, and Chris Manning have developed a new communication
strategy called Compassionate Communication that integrates mindfulness, relaxation, and vari- ous “inner values” meditations. By staying deeply relaxed and in the present moment, you can use your tone of voice and facial expressions to generate neurological trust and cooperation in the listener’s brain.
Compassionate Communication undermines neural patterns of defensive communication, interrupts the inner speech that governs every- day consciousness, and promotes a spontaneous dialogue that generates neurological empathy.
This workshop combines experiential practices, lectures, and group discussion. Participants will be guided through the twenty-minute Compassionate Communication training mod- ule and several basic mindfulness exercises. Discussions include how to use this process with children and conflicted couples, and Dr. Manning will explain how to bring these strate- gies into all aspects of business, negotiation, management, and sales. The material in this class will be featured in Newberg and Waldman’s forthcoming book, Words Can Change Your Brain (June 2012).
Recommended reading: Newberg and Waldman, How God Changes Your Brain.
