Conscious Communication Guidelines
- Speak for yourself, using “I think,” “I feel,” or “In my opinion,” when expressing yourself to the group, rather than attempting to express the opinion of the whole group.
- Take responsibility for your feelings. No one can make you feel anything you do not choose to accept.
- When another person is speaking, listen and demonstrate your presence and engagement verbally or non-verbally.
- Speak to elevate, be honest and establish a shared compassion and reality.
- Speak from your own heart, take ownership of each word as it expresses your heart and reality, not that of others.
- Be aware of your personal assumptions, preconceptions and beliefs and use the neutral mind to fully let in the infinite possibilities of the moment and honor the reality of the other.
- Express and welcome divergent viewpoints (agree to disagree) with the techniques of harmonious communication.
- Be as succinct as possible.
- One conversation at a time.
- Keep discussion oriented towards solutions and highest good.
- Focus conversation on people who are present.
- Kindness in communication is always well received and can help you make your points clearly.
