Nonviolent communication (NVC) is not a new concept for it has been practiced for many years. This technique of conflict management refers to when violence is absent from one’s state of compassions and most importantly from one’s heart. NVC encourages deep listening of one’s thoughts as well as the thoughts of others. Through NVC, thoughts and emotions can be straightened out and better understood in a manner that brings peace to our world.
We all know that our environment and natural resources are being depleted as we speak. In terms of the massive oil spill in the gulf, NVC can be used to resolve the issue and begin reconstructing the area. I, like many I’m sure, was first filled with much anger and frustration when seeing how the animals, plants, and community were affected by the oil spill. However, if NVC is practiced we can all learn to clear our minds and come to terms with what has happened. By listening to our own thoughts and feelings, we will be able to calmly begin to enforce change.
