Elianne tried to intervene in their argument. <br /></p><p>We talked about this recently on my Success Strategies radio show. <a href="https://ancestralenergies.blogspot.com/2023/10/success-strategies-with-zhana-black.html" target="_blank">Go here for more info and to listen</a>. <br /></p><p> </p><p>As I write this, I have just learned of <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/breaking-luton-stabbings-killed-teen-31073728" target="_blank">a 16-year-old boy being murdered in Luton</a>. <br /></p><p> </p><p>We don't have to keep reading these stories. We don't have to keep seeing them on TV. We can change this situation. Empathy can prevent us from having to hear about this and read about it. Empathy can prevent the senseless, needless death of another young person. </p><p> </p><p>As I have said previously, I think of NVC primarily as a preventative process. A lot of violence can be prevented by use of empathy. And violent situations can be transformed through the use of empathy. <br /></p><p> </p><p>Many parents, probably most, are very caring, hardworking people. They may be tired, they may be stressed, but they still do their best to find time to connect with their children. But sometimes, something is missed. </p><p> </p><p>I have no idea what caused this situation. Sometimes, it's a family pattern. Sometimes, it's a lack of self-esteem. Almost certainly, it's a lack of communication somewhere. And now a young man is in custody. And another young woman lies dead. Another grieving family. Another horrible, preventable killing. </p><p> </p><p>For more about how parents can use NVC and empathy to improve their connections with their children, download <i>Affirmations for Parents</i> today. </p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3twSTqg" target="_blank">Go here to download it from Amazon.com</a> </p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3RRD1c6" target="_blank">Go here to download it from Amazon.co.uk</a> <br /></p><p><a href="https://blognonviolence.weebly.com/2023-blogs/want-to-learn-more-about-nvc" target="_blank">Go here for more about Nonviolent Communiction</a>. <br /></p><p>And <a href="https://blognonviolence.weebly.com/2023-blogs" target="_blank">go here for more from the Blogging Carnival for Nonviolence 2023</a>. </p><p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Copyright (c) Zhana 2010-19</div>Zhana21http://www.blogger.com/profile/01493863144605527837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574873155372653045.post-24774736535705093652023-10-16T00:30:00.018-07:002023-10-31T12:01:32.217-07:00Nonviolence Starts with Parenting with Peace<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QMra_Uwebeg" width="320" youtube-src-id="QMra_Uwebeg"></iframe></div><p><br />Naimah Latif, the Executive producer of my Success Strategies show on The Female Solution, has posted this video, "Nonviolence Starts with Parenting with Peace", People all over the world are learning Nonviolent Communication (NVC), which is based on empathy. </p><p> </p><p></p><p>Naimah has given us a lot to think about, in terms of parenting with peace.

because it espouses a lot of the same values that we work from <span style="font-family: arial;">in
Nonviolent Communication (NVC). </span></span></p><p><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: arial;">

</p>
<p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span face="Arial, sans-serif">Many times, parents have told me that
their teenagers </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"> </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif">are upset, </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif">and when I asked them, “What need does s/he have that’s not
been met?”, the parent has said, “Nothing”. It amazes me
sometimes that parents are so unaware of their teenagers’ needs. </span></p><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"> </span>
</p>
<p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</p>
<p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span face="Arial, sans-serif">When we are upset or angry, this means
that one or more of our needs have not been met. The parent often
has an agenda and is not taking the child’s needs into account. NVC
tells us we have physical, emotional and social needs – a wide
range of needs, some of which are not going to be met in certain
situations. </span></p><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"> </span>
</p>
<p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</p>
<p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span face="Arial, sans-serif">Children may, sometimes, be a little
easier to deal with when they are younger, but when they reach
adolescence, they are starting to assert their independence, and
parents can find this challenging. </span></p><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"> </span>

</p>
<p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span face="Arial, sans-serif">Empathy is the basis of NVC, and
empathy is more about listening than talking. If parents listen to
their teens, rather than just talking to them, it’s possible that
they can reach an agreement which will meet everyone’s needs. </span></p><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"> </span>

Story</b></span></p><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">When
my youngest son, Darian, was shot and killed on the early morning of
July 1, 2000, my world as I had known it was drastically and forever
changed. I went in a very deep depression and decided that life was
now much too difficult for me to deal with and this world was no
longer a place I wanted to live in. When I left the emergency room
of the Medical Center early that morning, as well as leaving my
precious son’s body there, I also left as an entirely different
person. My outlook on life was transformed to a person I did not
want to be. </span><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><p class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span>
</p><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><p class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">Prior
to my son’s death, I considered myself to be </span><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span lang="en-US">the</span></span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">
happy, religious, God-fearing person my parents had taught me to be,
but I suddenly became an angry, desperate person looking for answers.
I was confused because I never imagined the God that I knew would
inflict such pain on me. </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;"><b>H</b></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">e
had deserted me and I was angry!! My thoughts were not healthy
thoughts; they were not Christian thoughts. I left that place having
little or no interest in living. I felt down and depressed and
hopeless, and the list goes on.</span></p><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><p class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span>
</p><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><p class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">The
Sunday mornings that I used to spend in Church became the Sunday
mornings that I would just </span><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span lang="en-US">lie</span></span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">
in bed feeling sorry for myself and being angry at God. I asked him
many questions, but never received an answer. God, why did you let
this happen to my son? Why did you inflict such pain on this family?
How do you expect me to get through another day without seeing my
son’s face ever again? Why, why, why?? </span>
</p><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><p class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span>
</p><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><p class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">I
have always had the support, of course, of my large, Christian family
who were always there for moral and emotional support. </span>

</span><p class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">One
day after my son’s funeral, while going through one of my many
mental breakdowns, asking "Why me?", my nephew, Mike,
without resentment and so matter-of-factly, just asked me one
question. "Aunt Glo, why not you?” </span>
</p><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><p class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span>
</p><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><p class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">Those
few words made me stop and wonder and think about what he had asked
me. Why not me? Who am I? Am I so very special that I cannot be
touched by pain? If </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;"><b>H</b></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">e
brings you to it, </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;"><b>H</b></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">e
will bring you through it! My faith was being tested.</span></p><span style="font-size: small;">

<span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><p class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">Shortly
after Darian was laid to rest, </span><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span lang="en-US">he</span></span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">
came to me in a dream, and I could see his handsome face so very
clearly as he said to me, "Mom, I can't stay. I have to go
back". I believe that those few words were the turning point of
</span><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span lang="en-US">my
</span></span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">realizing
that he was at peace and that God</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;"><b>
</b></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">had
never forsaken me at all. </span>

<span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">When
I went to view my baby's body for the first time, I did not fall
apart because it was </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;"><b>H</b></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">im
holding me up. When I walked down that long isle at the Church
services to bid a last goodbye to my son, I did not fall apart
because it was </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;"><b>H</b></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">im
holding me up. When at the grave site where my boy would be placed
and I would never see him again, I did not fall apart because it was
</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;"><b>H</b></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">im
holding me up. The one set of footprints was never mine but </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;"><b>H</b></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">is,
holding me up.</span></p><span style="font-size: small;">

I have not used them as yet, so I cannot attest to their efficacy. But I'll be adding these to the affirmations I use regularly. I recommend some changes, though. See below. <br /><p></p><p><a href="https://www.inc.com/rhett-power/3-affirmations-successful-people-repeat-every-day.html" target="_blank">Go here for the affirmations</a>. <br /></p><p>Here are my suggested changes: </p><p>The second one is in future tense. Affirmations should always be in the present tense, as if they are happening now, or, as I have recently discovered, in the past tense. </p><p>It also uses a negative term. Affirmations should always use positive words if possible. So, instead of, for example, "I never", substitute "I always". </p><p>As this article correctly states, "Success affirmations are helpful for changing what you believe at a subconscious level". The unconscious mind is extremely powerful. When we change our thoughts, feelings and emotions, we change our results. We can change ANYTHING in our own lives by changing our minds.

Sometimes, I hated it and felt sad, depressed and lonely. Other years, I had a great time. The fact that I am a Buddhist and don't celebrate Christmas doesn't seem to make a lot of difference - I still sometimes feel a desire to spend the holiday with friends and loved ones, and am haunted with the ghosts of Christmases past. And anyway, this holiday is primarily an ancient celebration of the Winter Solstice, so I celebrate it in that context. <p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>This Christmas day, as in 2020, many people are still forced to self-isolate.

<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span face="Arial, sans-serif">in twin flames relationships, there is
always a “runner” and a “chaser”; </span>

have not bought into most of these myths, so they </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I
did</span></span></span></span></span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
not need to </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">have
them </span></span></span></span></span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">debunked.
The only one I was really interested in was the one about healing.
Apparently, you don’t have to in order to unite with your twin
flame. </span></span></span>

<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span></span></p><p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">One
thing I found slightly confusing was that she puts one version of the

</span></span></span></span></span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">in
the table of contents and a different, opposite version when you get
to the chapter. So, for example: </span></span></span></p><p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span></span>

</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">The
chapters listed in the Table of Contents are stating the truth,
according to the author. The chapter headings are called “limiting
beliefs”, which actually helps. </span></p><p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"> </span>

</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
book is printed in really big type and has just a few chapters, so it
is a quick read. The final chapter is called “The Process”.
However, she does not </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-GB"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">describe
or reveal</span></span></span></span></span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
the process of uniting with your twin flame – you have to buy the
next book, apparently called </span></span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
Process</span></i></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">,
to get the information. Unfortunately, </span></span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
Process</span></i></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
does not appear to be available anywhere other than directly from the
author – at a cost of hundreds of pounds. </span></span></span></p><p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span></span>
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">And
anyway, you cannot unite with your twin flame, as you are already one
- i.e., two halves of the same soul. I think that’s what she is saying. </span></p><p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"> </span>

you believe one or more of the myths about twin flame relationships,
maybe you will find </span></span></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">this

<p class="MsoNormal">Another family crying; another vigil to attend. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our sons are quickly dying, taken from us way to soon.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Their bodies being littered under twilight of the moon.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hear a mother crying; sounds like thunder in my ears.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Oh how I wish I could comfort, and wipe away her tears.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Though her face I cannot see and her name remains unknown,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I find the need to let her know that she is not alone.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I feel a deep connection from the bottom of my soul,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the pain she feels I also feel; my heart still bears the
hole. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our families have been broken, our spirits even more.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For we have lost our loved ones; the ones we so adored.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can we ever find that happy place where we used to be?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Before young boys with guns and drugs attacked our city
streets?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do the colors that he’s wearing make you want to take his
life?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Or are you simply angry and cannot deal with family strife?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you have a burning desire to feel the love our loved ones
knew?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Where are your family values? Guess that’s missing in your
life too!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is the gang you’re in your haven? Does it take away your
pain?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does it make you feel significant? Is it your personal
domain?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What can be done to end this war? When will the killing end?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re in a quandary, what can we do? All rational thoughts
transcend.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s time to stop the violence; the shootings have to cease.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have to learn to love one another and try to live in Peace.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Young men out there who find the need for a weapon to
conceal,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Before you pull that trigger remember that body may never
heal. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Life is a precious gift, given from the Lord above,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He gave us life to show us of his unfailing, undying love.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He died for us upon the cross and gave his only son,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That we will have the tree of life; He died and said, “It’s
done”.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So stop the drugs and the killing and put the guns away,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Be smart learn to walk away to live another day.</p>

white people aren’t accessing anger, it’s left to Black and Indigenous
people and people of colour to do this work, which then leaves BIPOC
labelled and judged as angry and reactive as a means of control and
avoiding the issues". <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">What do you think?

Tubman has always been an inspiration for me since I was a young
child. Having escaped from slavery, she risked her life over and
over again to help emancipate others. They called her Moses and
sang “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” whenever she arrived intent on
helping more to escape. </span>
