CONSTRUCTIVE COMMUNICATION
- In Naturalmente, we promote an open and constructive Communication,
where we have the commitment in communicating in absolute honesty,
trying to find the real meaning and feelings behind the words,
( with compassion – feeling what the other is feeling )
and what the Soul wants to express through that action
Constructive communication
When living together with other people,
it’s natural that some conflicts might occasionally arise.
A resilient community focus on solving those conflicts as soon as possible,
developing tools to deal and transcend these conflicts,
so the most harmony can prevail on the overall environment
So, when we face a conflict, instead of running away or repressing it,
(it may seem the easy solution, but the learning potential of that situation if it wasn't made, then we naturally attract similar situations
Until we learn how to solve any issues, and accept the challenge to face the situation, and make an effort to solve it and integrate the learnings so we can return to harmony,
so the lessons are learned and so we don't need to attract that situation pattern anymore,
and we can keep together, transcending the situations to a new level of harmony ...
So
some of the tools we use are:
- Constructive communication
(based on non-violent communication – Marshal Rosenberg
- when I observe ___ , I feel ___ ,
because I have a need of ___ , so my request is ___ .
We also have :
- Heart sharing circles
- Emotional healing foruns
(based on tamera foruns)
Compassionate
Listening
Talking / Expression Circles
Other methods we use are, for example:
Focusing
on being receptive for feedback,
and meditate before reacting
Points-of-Union
One of the
main challenges in Community Living
is to break the pattern that society taught us to focus on our differences
(that creates individualism and separation)

(that creates individualism and separation)
instead we can choose to :
- Focus on what we have in common, and what we agree upon
- Focus on what we have in common, and what we agree upon
(a base for
communities to thrive and prosper)
and consequently feeling in tune and in harmony with each other,
Uniting ourselves in common goals and vision

LOVE & COMPASSION
Compassion, helps us feel our Oneness with each other,
Developing / expanding the ability to Feel what the other is feeling
( transcending the illusion ( maya ) of separation ) …
Remembering We are the same Divine Essence
expressing in “different” bodies
Like interconnected cells in a big collective cosmic organism
becoming aware, with Loving Compassion of each part of itself,

We are so madly in rush to reach a place called Love,
that we’ve forgotten only Compassion can lead us there

Silence and Peace
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Silence is, on this moment, as it has always been,
the key that connects Heaven and Earth.
it's through this Silence, that our Soul, and our Spirit,
can make themselves present in the substance of our bodies,
radiating this Fire of Pure Love, that we are, in our Essence."

Silence Day
"Silence is not an inertia, it is, actually, an intense activity,
performed within a perfect harmony.
It is also not an emptiness, an absence, it is, actually, a Plentifulness,
comparable to the one experienced by the beings united by a great Love,
that live something so intense, that cannot be expressed in words or gestures.
Silence is a inner quality of Life"
