This week we are rounding up the teachings on NVC (Non-Violent Communication), comparing it to the Yamas and Niyamas in Yoga. The first two limbs of Yoga, the Yamas and Niyamas, describe what we need to abstain from (Yama) and cultivate (Niyama) in order to have a better experience in life. Today I offer a list of the "Niyamas "of NVC, things we want to cultivate in our relationships for better relating. As a reminder the Yogic Niyamas are as follows:1. Saucha (Purity)2. Santosha (Contentment)3. Tapah (Purification practices)4. Svadhyaya (Study of Spiritual texts)5. Isvarapranidhani (Respect for Higher Power and Surrender of small self/ego)Here is the list of NVC ways of relating want to practice:1. Communicate your needs and feelings2. Take responsibility for your feelings3. Get your basic needs met4. Make clear requests5. Practice empathy by holding space non-judgmentally6. Invite in play everyday7. Express healthy anger (and release unhealthy anger in a healthy way)Using the tools in the past two episodes can transform your relationship life.
