Speak To Me Like You Love Me

Show Host: Wendy McDonnell
Listen from Family Matters website

Rachelle says, “What if separation is embedded in the very words we speak? We are wired for care and compassion. What language do we speak?” Listen to this show about daring to live an authentic life with the ones we love.

Rachelle encourages parents to bear in mind:

• Do your best to remember what it was like to be a child first before you try to civilize your child.

• Some of your problems have nothing to do with communication. Questions like “How do I get my child to…?” indicate systemic challenges. Parents are often doing the work of a village feeling tired and frustrated and need help. Do your best to build community and self-compassion.

• Children respond very well to needs language. When they ask “why?” or say “no”, they likely want to understand the life and meaning in what we’re asking for.

Joseph Chilton Pearce wrote in The Biology of Transendence: A Blueprint of the Human Spirit, “All of us know intuitively that we are not by nature savage beasts. Fewer, however, are aware that we are driven to some fairly beastly behaviors by enculturation, despite the fact that the process itself is supposed to prevent this.”

Nonviolent Communication, Dissolving Separation and Giving Birth to a New World
January 5, 2011
Show Host: Peter Tongue

There is no doubt that we are at an evolutionary threshold ... a time where the divide between science and spirituality is rapidly dissolving ... a time where we are waking up to the highly active role we play in a cause and effect world. And yet, despite our growing awareness, language itself and its direct impact on shaping our reality and relationships, receives sparse attention. Because it is acquired so early and we are therefore fused with it, our every day usage escapes scrutiny as a significant contributor to much of the conflict we face. It is rare in fact in situational conflict for us to examine how our mainly conditioned and thereby unconscious choice of words is not only reactive but also causal. During this hour, Rachelle shares with Peter the ways in which language and communication is leading the way to a new and exciting frontier of possibility. In practical terms, how our chosen words can effectively dissolve conflict and the accompanying illusion of separation which so pains us. Challenging, powerful and illuminating ... tune in to learn how what we say matters so very much.
