Jim & Jori Manske, Certified NVC Trainer:
Watch this video with Jim Manske to explore the practice of Self-Empathy through a different lens. Included is a unique four-step Self-Empathy process that culminates in a focus of gratitude.
The four-step process of Self-Empathy as seen by Jim Manske is:
- Recognizing that you need Self-Empathy (tuning into physical sensations, emotions and self-talk).
- Self-acceptance (looking at what upsets you with curiosity; asking yourself what the physical sensations, emotions and self-talk are telling you; opening to needs-consciousness; and connecting to the universality of needs).
- Extending acceptance to all who are involved in the situation (turning your attention to others with an attention of acceptance and considering what their positive intention was in behaving the way they did).
- Tuning into gratitude to open the possibility for valuing all needs (noticing something you feel grateful for either in the present or past and savoring this gratitude toward opening your heart).
The clearly defined steps outlined in Jim's video support you in opening your heart to possibility, and connecting with one small step in service of the needs that are identified through the exploration.
