About the Course
What is Heartful Communication?
Heartful Communication offers a new awareness — a shift in our consciousness that supports us to communicate authentically from our hearts, even under pressure.
It offers principles, practices and specific tools drawn from the teachings of the Guides of Heartfulness, from Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg — the originator of Nonviolent Communication — and from other inspirational leaders. The HC approach enables us to connect empathically with ourselves and others, and to transform judgement, blame and criticism into caring, respectful interactions.
Central to HC is the cultivation of awareness as a first step to making changes. Practitioners report their experience of more harmonious, joyful relationships and discover that this is a profound way of being.
In the Heartfulness journey, one of the key goals is the state of Oneness. HC prepares us — both from within and through outer practices — to manifest this state of oneness in our thoughts, actions and words.
"Working on our communication is the need of the hour."
— Daaji, Heartfulness Spiritual Guide
