As for NVC and Abundance creation through the Law of Attraction. A big part of being magnetic is learning to accept our own needs (to flourish) and those of others. Another big part is to not alienate others, which also comes from this acceptance, love and understanding. Many LOA people alienate others and reveal shallow understanding that could be rectified quite a bit by NVC training. A fogiving, loving person, have a much higher vibrational resonance and is much less likely to get sidetracked. Also, it makes what you attract much more satisfying since what brings real/lasting happiness is always originating from the heart. Ananda Goldstein, M.Ed., Ph.D EmpowermentMotivationInstitute.com

Hhhmmm interesting comment, Dieter. To be honest I’m not familiar what Marshall’s view is with regards to Marketing or Abundant thinking. Perhaps you could enlighten me about this.
I personally don’t see a disconnect or incompatibility between NVC and marketing. To me, marketing is a process of finding out what your target market wants and fulfilling those needs – so in that respect then NVC ties in very closely with it.
I think the “Violence” happens when marketing is used as a tool to manipulate, induce fear, and control others purely for the sake of personal advancement with complete disregard as to how one’s choices may be impacting the well being of others – is this what you meant?

Surprise to find Marshall Rosenberg on this blog! Very valuable experiences that I got from NVC. Why surprised? Because Marshalls “view” of “abundance thinking”, I couldn’t so far very well match it with a “abundance” marketing mindset, – and I have studied that a lot in the last two years – even people connected with “law of attraction” spirituality to me still seem far from the “sociocracy” approach to social life, and the “getting everybodies needs met” paradigm that I experienced in non-violent communication environments. And I am really very curious, how these two “worlds” could possibly merge without each loosing its depth, purity of values and power. Very interesting.

Thanks, Stephen. I’m glad you find it valuable. I believe if we all learn how to do it, there’ll definitely be less war, crime, divorce, abuse and arguments.
There are so much more to cover about it, so I plan to share more about it here as I learn more. For example, Marshall Rosenberg proposed that our (violent) language use compliments more as a tool to manipulate others instead of as a means to openly express our gratitude about how another human being enriched our lives.
So we say to our employee, “You are so efficient!” (stroke their ego so they’ll work harder and harder without expecting much in return)
We say to our children, “You are so obedient, you make me happy and proud.” (implying our happiness depends on their compliance to OUR orders, therefore when we’re unhappy they feel guilty and thus feel responsible for OUR feelings. You can imagine what a heavy burden that is!)
I didn’t see it at first, but yes come to think of it that’s exactly how many of us use praise – no wonder many of us usually feel uncomfortable or wary when we receive compliments!
Stay tuned!

Marj, this was fascinating! I think you are onto something here, something that I have never heard about before. This doesn’t seem easy and it certainly is not natural to me, but if we all did this imagine how the world would be different! Thanks for this wonderful article.
