Video

I felt uncomfortable about the stereotypes about men and women around the 35:00 mark, but I enjoyed this video overall

Thanks for this guide in exploring "What's Alive in me now" :)

So necessary to be able to practice NVC , is to ba able to bring ourselves , or get supported to be in a calm grounded space /place .

I have enjoyed listening to this exercise. Thank you. And I love your expression that there are 7 million people to attach our needs to (although I haven't yet found a way to get physical support from any of the 7 million people!) Could you tell me what whether you are saying to move the needs from colume 1 (and subsequent columes) to any other colums, or to copy it across to another colume?

Thank you for sharing. Grateful Liv!

Nice tips ..thanks

Robert has now passed on. I never met him, but very much appreciate his contribution to the world.

Love the loop!

Dear Robert, I have been studying NVC with Better Farber for well over a year. She is both knowledgeable and deeply compassionate and committed to NVC. It's been my dream to be able to live in a community with people who respond in the same manner. . I have watched your videos (Bett send me this one ) and I would love to participate in your your workshops and retreats. I hope they soon comes to pass.

I've been on the spiritual path for a while now and this is blowing my mind in its beauty and simplicity. Thank you so much. This is something so valuable to hear

My most treasured learning expieriences were with Robert and the others present who contributed to and participated in the 2009-2010 LIFE program. Such profound, grounding, healing work. Much gratitude and appreciation as it continues to live through me. xo

I knew purple was the strongest of the chairs but my choice would be white which wasn’t represented. I liked the pale green because it’s a healing colour, lambs ear, gardens, landscapes. My associations are different so would not be revealing. The other colour is pink, add white and pale green my preferred garden colours

面白いですね！NVCと日本語に興味があるから、勉強になりました！

Thank you so much. I wish I knew earlier that I don't necessarily need to start practicing NVC in my home and at.my work place ， I can choose to take earlier steps.

There is a loop in the film, Liv is saying the same thing twice. You might just want to reedit it. Such an interesting topic!

I appreciate this post, this interview, the spirituality and human needs connection. I feel grateful, touched, moved, and connected: my need for community is nourished by Robert's presence. Thank you!

Thank you Robert, this is so true to me.

Thank you for this beautiful video

For me it is the most powerful video I've seen in some time. I love the sharp metaphor, can totally connect to it. And I love the idea of getting comfortable bit by bit. Being kind to myself on the way. For some reason sometimes I'm expecting myself to be "perfect" and have it all under control. That obviously creates more pressure. And finally I am so grateful for the practice! I've never seen this angle before. I have heard "being comfortable with my discomfort" and it annoyed me as I couldn't feel it. Now I'm a tiny step closer to it. Just sensing that there is something I don't want to feel. And checking with myself, how this sensation is for me. Thank you Aga for this gift!

Thank you for this wonderful resource ... So much clarity, ease and wisdom ❤️

This is a powerful practice and so beautifully shared, Aga. I imagine cultivating a daily practice to connect the life force energy of earth and sky with our hearts will transform our way of being in the world. I imagine moving through the day with this sense of safety and inner support will have a ripple effect with all the people I encounter each day. Thank you for this profound practice.

Yesssssss I agree so much with your perspective! My whole channel is about this very idea. Emotions, how to welcome them and see that they are just messengers after all.

This has been a wonderful series. Thank you.

Louise! I love your English course! Thank you very much! It's for me a bigger pleasure!

Gracias.

You can see how she really used the model in real life as soon as the Indian lady mentioned about changing her model which she created...watch how she says “oh that’s interesting “ (WAIT Chair) and then move into the (Self Aware chair) to where she moves and asks “how would you use the other chairs...?” (Purple chair). To where after the response she moves it back into suggesting “it is the wait chair” hence being assertive Impressive to see how she preaches what she speaks about!

Hi. I have found the clown archetype interesting for a while, and hearing this has took my understanding deeper and was very enjoyable. I am excited because the idea of clowning gives a new area of NVC to explore. The surrender to the now and dropping the concern of doing things the "right" way is a relaxing thought, I am often tense in worry. Clowning sounds fun, and I think I could use the idea to have abit more fun in my life. For some years now I have been thinking a big question is "is there enough abundance for everyone to have rewarding lives?" so Marianne's desire to help create a sense of abundance resonates with me, it's encouraging to know that people share in this valuing of abundant fulfillment for everyone. Thank you for this interview and this channel, NVC has helped me better meet many needs (my own and others) instead of struggling so hard, just to be left estranged from myself and others. I am happy this channel exist, I like having a CZcams source to the topic of NVC, I am very grateful, thank you.

I really enjoyed this interview as I am very interested in learning NVC for myself and I would also like to become a certified trainer. Thank you!

This was a lovely interview and thank you for sharing! One thing I noticed today when I attempted to mediate between a couple that are friends with my wife and I, was that in the process of being present while the female poured out her pain, I was pulled into the sorrow when I heard her cries for support and help behind the words of judgment. As the tears welled up in my eyes I wondered if identifying with the needs and feeling with emotion had any impact on our connection, or whether to just allow the tears to flow as they will. I withdrew from her story so I could be more objective and say how hard it must be for her to not get the support from her partner when his involvement in her life means soo much. I wonder if anyone can relate or speak to that? Are we losing our quality of connection by feeling the emotion of another? Are we suddenly becoming "full of them" instead of "fully with them" As Marshall describes it when drawing the NVC distinction between sympathy and empathy?

Great job, NVC Connect - loving your work. Please keep it up!

I really love to listen to all your thoughts... particularly to these 5 chairs. I am also sending information to my colleagues, friends and family to watch your videos. And I am actually using this in my everyday life and it really works! Sorry but one thing I noticed on this video is the WAIT spelling which is the third and Meerkat chair. Can I ask you Ms. Louise if you are inviting people who are working at the NGOs' that have the same advocacy like yours? We would love to attend. Thank You So Much for this wonderful video. I got more knowledge.
