How to Expand in a Time of Contraction

     For many it is a time of uncertainty. Change is definitely in the air. As our normal existence begins to be turned upside down we often scramble around for safety and cling to what is familiar. Now however, might be just the time to let go and trust that it will all work out just right.
    Times of chaos are also times of reorganization. As things break apart they are able to come back together in a more unified pattern. Chaos is not a bad thing; it is a time to look inside and allow yourself to unfold into a new place.
     As change occurs there are some simple reminders that will help all of us make it through uncertainty. For instance, many people wish to curl up in a ball and run and hide in the closet when change knocks on their front door. The solution is to come out of your shell and try some new things. For instance, get involved in a support system or start a Mastermind Group. Continue to nurture yourself in some of the simplest of ways. Instead of running away for a 3-day costly escape, spend a little money receiving a massage at a local spa. You will still enjoy that relaxed feeling without having to break the bank to do so.


Nonviolent Communication

non violent

     A book by
Marshal B. Rosenberg, Ph.D.


     We live in an age where there are more and more technological devices than ever before, yet we still do not know how to communicate. From text messages to email, cell phones to faxes, our communication level remains at a kindergarten level. While technology might be creeping ahead with faster ways to send and receive messages, the content of those messages remains at a lower vibrational level. For instance, a common perception is that many people text message each other because they are bored rather than the fact that they might actually have something important to say.

     Marshal B. Rosenberg Ph.D. has created a wonderful and fulfilling instrument for communication called "Nonviolent Communication". Within his work he is able to teach others how to resolve any conflict with engaged and reflective listening. According to Rosenberg, one can even resolve a conflict with one's chosen enemy if he uses some of his techniques. The secret lies in attempting to find something, no matter how small or insignificant, to agree upon. Focus on what you agree upon and not on your differences.
     This authentic form of communication can be used in any environment, from teachers to business professionals, and parents to therapists.

What to Say When Every Word Counts

the worst is over

A book by
Judith Acosta and Judith Simon Prager

     If you have ever been in an automobile accident then you know how terrifying this experience could be. You are in shock. Your whole day has been turned upside down. You feel helpless and scared about what comes next.
     A person who has just been in an accident needs to hear words of reassurance. Here are some suggestions;

     -"You have been in an accident. Help is on the way. I will wait here with you until help arrives."
     -"Is there anyone whom you would like me to call?"
     -"Do you have children or loved ones who are expecting you to pick them up?"

     With carefully crafted words you can help put someone at ease who is experiencing a difficult time.
     Take time to read such a profound book before you find yourself in a tense situation. Your caring words will be an integral part of the First Aid protocol.

Finding the Right Words
a book by
Wilfred Bockelman

   What do you say when someone dies? How do you manage the awkward moments when dear friends go through a divorce? When someone is sick and ailing what words do you choose to comfort them?
     We are often at a loss for words when words can do the most good. We often avoid situations and people where we do not know what to say. This often makes matters worse and creates more confusion and awkwardness.
     Many times the best thing to say is, "I don't know what to say". Follow this up with a sincere, "What can I do?" After that it may just be time to listen. Learning to communicate ought to take place before a difficult situation emerges.
