How to Communicate Like a Buddhist | by Cynthia Kane 39,515 people have taken this course I used to lie awake at night and worry about work, family, friends, boyfriends. Honestly, I would obsess about all of it. And while all these thoughts and emotions were going on inside I rarely expressed any of them. Instead, a colleague would knock on my cubicle while I was in the middle of something and I'd roll my eyes and say in a passive aggressive tone, "what can I do for you now." Or my boyfriend would ask me to empty the water out of the tea kettle and I'd argue about why leaving it there made sense. Sometimes someone even asking me a simple question like what do you want for lunch would be difficult to answer. There was so much clutter in my head that I couldn't focus or slow down to express myself accurately. Everything irked me and had me reacting impulsively damaging my relationships. Of course I wanted to interact differently I just didn't know how. So I went out and learned everything I could about how to communicate to express myself in a clear, direct, and accurate way. And after years of reading, going to lectures / seminars, and retreats I came up with a practice grounded in the elements of right speech in Buddhism that takes away the clutter, cultivates kind and calm conversations, and helps shift us out of the internal chatter and into the present moment. Intentional Communication In this course you'll learn:To speak consciously, clearly, and concisely without anxietyTo respond instead of reactTo speak in a way that's kind, honest, and helpfulTo know when to speak and when to stay quietTo stay engaged when listeningTo express yourself so that others can hear youTo nip potential problems in the bud before they become meltdownsTo be comfortable in silence - no longer needing to fill the spaceWhat People Are Saying "Working with Cynthia with this program reset the way that I think about communication. It gave me a system to increase mindfulness in the everyday and gave me tools to analyze, understand and combat communication pitfalls I thought to be almost insurmountable." -Ingrid, New York, New York "The work on communication has really stuck with me and I find myself reflecting on my communication style often now. It has helped me to pause and reframe how I feel in certain situations, especially stressful ones, and allow myself time to consider how I want to respond rather than doing so impulsively." -Madison, Oakland, CA About Cynthia Kane Cynthia Kane is the founder of the Intentional Communication Institute and dedicated to helping men and women change their communication routines so they feel in control of their words and understood at home and at work.

Why do most clearing efforts fall short or peter out? Why are we so afraid to let go? Our drive to attain and succeed comes at a great cost to the soul. We are malnourished, if not starved, when it comes to compassionate self-acceptance, awareness, and care. We yearn for simplicity but struggle to find it. We ache for balance but can't sustain it. There is no time to juggle it all, let alone clear the things and thoughts that have caused us to feel so overwhelmed in the first place. Most traditional approaches do not make room for us to feel the feelings that come up when we clear, and they make us feel bad when we fall short. These linear modalities do not account for our fight-or-flight response, nor recognize the energetic impact that our thoughts and emotions can have on our living spaces. After years of study, deep inquiry, and personal experience, here's what I know for sure: For clearing to last you need to put yourself first. You won't make a dent in reducing the stress and stuff until you've healed the patterns that created it. If you don't feel safe, you won't let go. Clearing is an inside job that begins and ends with you. Top 10 DailyOM Courses 1. How To Write Your First Book 2. Meditations When You Are Freaking Out Over Money 3.
