 Editor’s note: Thoughts are very powerful and shape your energy and reactions subconsciously. Learning to focus on positive thoughts requires deep inner work. It takes a conscious effort to change your inner dialogue from first being aware of the negative thought and then trying to replace it with a more constructive one. Thinking positively takes work but the rewards are immeasurable. |

The Evolutionary Power of Mindful Communication
Mindful communication encompasses a number of qualities in both listening and responding. From entering conversations free from our fixed opinions and perceptions, to communicating in such a way that allows another to feel heard, Diane Musho Hamilton shares what mindful dialogue is (and is not). She explains that mindful dialogue is of particular importance in today’s society in which polarized views compete for space from our kitchen tables to conference rooms. As a mediator, group facilitator, and contemporary spiritual teacher, Hamilton shares her insights about how the way we communicate with one another affects our nervous system, identity, and relationships. “When we talk about mindful communication, what we’re really saying is that we have the capacity to become aware [of], to witness, or to watch our communication style and its impacts.” Read on, or listen to the full interview to learn more. { read more }
