By Nisandeh Neta I always believed myself to be this open, enlightened father in
relation to my daughter, Thom.
Yet, the other day she was nagging me for something that I refused to give her.It wasn't significant, as even now I cannot recall what it was. After a few exasperating moments of attempting to explain my refusal, I blurted: "Honey I'm sorry, but you cannot have it all!" The words were still in the air, when I realized how disempowering the message I gave her was. YOU ARE YOUR CHILD'S TEACHER YOUR CHILD IS YOUR TEACHER So, how is it that we learn from and teach each other? THE MOST IMPORTANT KEY IS COMMUNICATION Family communication became possible, but only when love was first there.Until I became a more feeling person - which meant feeling pain, anger, hurt, and disappointment sometimes, but also love, kindness, friendship, and generosity - I created an emotional wall that impeded any genuine communication.My biggest lesson was to open my heart.Pain and grief and anger spilled out - but so did love.It was then that communicating began. Waiting for someone else in your family to begin the communication process will not succeed.If you wait for your children to initiate conversation about what is on their mind, they will most probably retain their fears, frustrations, and problems as a secret forever. If you dream about your parents communicating their disagreements and arriving at some happy resolution - keep on dreaming. It will never become a reality. If you have something on your mind but somehow never bring it up - dare and do it NOW! In one of my training programs, participants clear a lot of their blockages in their relationships with their parents.Many, actually dare and honestly communicate with their parents for the first time.Later I receive feedback letters that read like this: "Dear Nisandeh, the One Experience training was so powerful! I've completed it and my father has totally changed...!" Your parents, your children and you, have a duty to communicate.However, somebody has to make a start. Accept the challenge. Here are a few tips how to master loving communication: 1. Pay undivided attention: the other person is speaking to you. 2. Be more interested in what is being said than in figuring out what your reply is or to mentally "manage" the problem. 3. Ask yourself what is really going on. Use your intuition and wisdom to ascertain what your child, mate, or parent is really saying. When in doubt - ASK! 4. Take the time to listen, to consider what's being said, to gain clarity, and to frame direct but loving responses. Communication takes time - and deserves the time it takes. On a spiritual level, you chose your parents and your children and they chose you.You all did it for a reason.It is your golden opportunity to grow, to learn and to complete issues that hinder you on your journey in life. Don't miss this opportunity! ---------------------------------------------------------------Article by: Nisandeh Neta - trainer, success coach and healer.Start living each day at a higher level of success, passion and fulfillment.
