What Is the Language of Compassion?

The Language of Compassion begins first as an internal dialogue which honors what is alive within you and what is alive within me. It is from this reconnection to our own sacred heart that we connect to our compassionate and naturally empathetic nature—our true nature.

It is from this inner dialogue that we are able to deeply connect to our universal needs, to explore compassionately an open invitation held within our heart’s request to give, and receive, beyond condition, beyond the “shoulds” and “have tos,” seeking connection as we explore WIN-WIN possibilities of meeting our mutual needs in a way that can truly make life more wonderful.

This “language” is more a spiritual practice, that honors the sacred heart of one another, in recognition of the truth that we all share the same core needs to know we matter, know we are valued, know we are heard. It is our conditioning, judgments and false beliefs that fuel all relational separation stories… until they don’t.

As we integrate The Language of Compassion into our lives, we begin to witness the many ways we sit in judgment and how we have employed strategies to meet our needs that carry the energy of “implied demand,” steeped in our separation story “roles” of the way we “should” or “shouldn’t” be, what is right/wrong, good/bad, that we have all been conditioned into “power over” vs. “power-with” ways of maintaining connection over separation, as we choose love over fear. When we empower choice, we discover we are naturally wired to contribute to life in a way that honors our mutual needs, making our relationships authentically connected to what’s alive in our world, as we invite others to contribute, or not, to meeting our needs.

The late Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, the Founder of The Centers of Non-violence (CNVC) stated: “In the space of demand, healthy human beings will generally respond in a state of resistance. This is natural as it protects our deep needs for (sovereign) autonomy and our freewill to choose love, beyond fear or conditioning.
Shifting our inner relationship to listen to our hearts is a revolutionary act of self-love. And self-love and self-honor is to reconnect to our compassionate and sacred hearts, within oneself, within another. The foundation of The Language of Compassion is the truth that “ALL violence, passive or physical, is a tragic expression of an unmet need.”

This entre teaching will be one of the most liberating and empowering self-mastery skillsets in rediscovering the compassionate nature of our beautiful and pure hearts that simply wants to reflect our natural superlative state of love, before and beyond our conditioning. Within this inner world, we witness our own judgment, we witness our own conditioning, as we journey within to unlearn the conditioning and violence that judgments fuel within relationships. It is not “selfish” for me to honor and say yes to my own needs. In truth, learning to celebrate your no, and another’s no as a yes to you, or a yes to them, frees the relationship to love beyond expectations. Krishnamurti’s wisdom shares, The highest form of human intelligence is the ability to observe without evaluating.

Our journey of awakening into our Creation Blueprint, as unified divine love, individually and collectively, begins as we experientially gain the (in)sight that celebrates the beauty and bounty expanded within as we learn to listen from our heart to our shared relationship to the tapestry of our universal needs.
These multi-millennial age-old separation stories end as we self-realize that within us lives the compassion to celebrate one another within the pure reflection of love. Love is the universal language of our hearts. Love is only and always generated, from within.
