Observation: The Awareness of the Thoughts, Stories, and Core Beliefs to Enhance Connection

A Telecourse Recording with CNVC Certified Trainer John Kinyon from El Sobrante, California, USA

Recorded during July, 2008
Total Duration: 2 hours, 10 minutes

This telecourse recording will work with the NVC component of observation. In this course, we’ll work on strengthening the capacity for mindful presence and awareness of our thinking, as well as developing the skills of translating thoughts into observation and need language.

We will explore what it means to be conscious and present as opposed to identifying with the stream of unconscious, conditioned thinking and emotional reactions within us. In terms of language, we’ll practice the skill of separating observation from evaluation, peeling away layers of interpretation, story, and judgment until we reach just the simple, observable “facts” of what happened. We’ll also practice a way of relating to thoughts, not as true or false, but rather as internal communicators of precious needs.                

With this recording, you’ll learn to: Strengthen your ability to find peace and centeredness within you, regardless of what’s happening around you Be able to more skillfully communicate what happened in ways that don’t stimulate defensiveness in others Increase your ability to translate thinking/judgments into underlying needs
