Relationships That Work – 3-hour Workshop (FREE)
Join us in this unforgettable experience, focusing on relationships, communication exercises and personal development.

Learn Techniques That Will Last A Lifetime!
“Before I attended this 3 hour course I had over 200 hours of advanced communication skills training from various institutions and felt that I had a highly refined sense of speaking and listening. Participating in the short but powerful communication exercises at the Relationships That Work seminar revealed to me that even with training and experience, I was using several ‘roadblocks to communication’ in my every day speaking and listening style. I began to realize why I have many of the conflicts that I have with friends, partners, and business affiliates. I was able to take home a few simple tools that dramatically altered the quality of my interactions with others. Anyone can learn these tools and improve their lives.”
- Kylie Devi, Gainesville, FL

EXAMINING OUR ASSUMPTIONS
Excerpt From Relationships That Work: The Power Of Conscious Living
- By David B. Wolf
Awareness of our assumptions, or belief systems, enables us to consider whether they actually work for us. It also allows us to be open to alternative, more satisfying possibilities for viewing ourselves and the world. Being conscious of our assumptions helps us to take responsibility for changing them, or purposefully utilizing them, rather than giving power to our belief systems to determine our life from beneath the conscious surface.
One of my assumptions is the conviction that we are inherently spiritual persons, whose nature is to serve. Another assumption I embrace is that each of us possesses the capacity to handle our lives with a high level of effectiveness. By expression of our innate qualities we are able to produce extraordinary results in our life.
Presuppositions can filter our perception of reality, often preventing us from accessing our facility for conscious choice. Let us take a look at how this process conceals awareness.
I recollect an experiment in an undergraduate cognitive psychology class. We, the approximately two dozen students, were the subjects. The professor showed us a film, about a minute long, of a staged robbery on a city street. Afterwards each student completed a questionnaire of 20 closed-ended items. The questions dealt with details of the movie crime we had just witnessed, including items such as “Did the robber have a gun?”, “Did the robbery victim hold her purse in her left hand?”, “and “Did you notice a bakery on the street?” Next to each “yes” or “no” response we indicated whether we were “not sure” or “sure” about our response, and, if we were sure, whether we would be willing to give this response as testimony under oath in court. After again viewing the film and tallying results we found that every person in the class had been willing to testify to at least one lie.
Unexamined assumptions, instead of facilitating our understanding of reality, serve as a barrier to a fresh experience of reality. We can extend this to our life, where often we do not experience a situation as it is, or a person as he is, because we have already assumed how it must be, or what she must be like.
With transformative communication and spiritual empowerment we assist you in conscious living, in living life intentionally, not accidentally. It’s vitally important to determine whether we are living life out of unconscious habit, or whether we are consciously choosing this way of being and acting because it genuinely works for us.
To grow we need to examine our assumptions, about ourselves, relationships, abundance, and each aspect of existence. This process involves challenging the limitations of our worldview, and our view of what is possible for us to achieve. Frequently those limitations are composed of self-created conceptions and perceptions. Perceptions are powerful. They create restrictions as well as opportunities
Dependency
“When we are depending on the person with whom we are in conflict, both need and conflict are compounded. Love-hate overreactions, fight or flight tendencies, withdrawal, aggressiveness, bitterness, resentment, and cold competition are some of the usual results.”

JACUZZI FOR THE MIND: THE SOUND OF TRANSFORMATIVE COMMUNICATION
I get to chant my rounds!
The morning after a 3-day transformative communication course I conducted in Brooklyn, I encountered a woman who had just completed the seminar. She was excited and had an experience she was eager to share with me. In the spiritual community where she lived she had taken a vow to chant daily a prescribed number of mantras on beads. She exclaimed, “This morning I realized that I don’t have to chant my rounds! I don’t have to chant my rounds!” Her exhilaration filled the air with a sense of liberation. Seeing me puzzled as to why she was happy to give up her vow, she went on, “I get to chant my rounds! I get to chant my rounds!” She then explained how that morning she had begun to finger her beads and chant a few mantras. For the first time in her decades of experience tears flowed from her eyes while chanting. For the first time her attitude wasn’t “I have to chant my rounds.”
Authentic mantra chanting and high-level communication practices are two complementary vehicles through which we can utilize sound vibration to realize our spiritual identity and connect with the innermost stratum of the living soul.
A genuine mantra is a potent transformational vibration. “Mantra” means spiritual sound vibration that extricates the mind from material entanglement. Jill Bormann has conducted research on mantra meditation with various populations including military veterans. She describes meditative time with a mantra as a “Jacuzzi for the mind. It’s something you can use to focus and calm yourself at a moment’s notice, …it doesn’t require money, and it’s non-toxic… a person just needs to make it a part of their lives.” My personal favorite mantra for meditation is one of India’s most beloved, the Maha Mantra. Studies have shown that this 16-word mantra reduces stress and depression and increases qualities such as balance, fulfillment, and sense of life purpose.
In our programs we focus on transformation through communication. Awareness of how we use sound to influence our consciousness and environment is a powerful approach to personal and interpersonal development. In the beginning was the word. Just as the divine creates with sound, we can productively examine what we generate in our life with our sounds.
For example, to what extent do we build roadblocks to effective communication through responses that convey messages of invalidation, disempowerment, or self-absorption? This might take the form of unnecessarily advising or warning, shallow praise, avoidance of vital issues, or prematurely giving solutions. Effective listening is essential for the creation of the sacred space that is crucial for life-enriching relationships. Such listening focuses on what the other person is saying- not what we’re saying to ourselves about what the other is saying. In our expression we can consider the degree to which we communicate from fear, neediness, and insecurity, as opposed to purpose, joy and inspiration. Through three days of intense immersion in transformative communication the mantra yogini shifted her consciousness from “I have to…”- burdensome, obligatory, and mechanical- to “I get to…”- vibrant, inspired, and fresh.

CREATING WITH OUR WORD
In The Beginning Was The Word
Just as the supreme creates with the word, we too create our lives with our word. Self-reflection is a core principle in personal growth, and it can be especially illuminating to consider our relationship with our word. In the Vedic tradition there is a literature called Upadeshamrita, or The Nectar of Instruction. The book concludes with a depiction of the most elevated spiritual consciousness, and it starts with a description of the importance of effective management of our words, for anyone interested in spiritual progress.
In the transformative communication seminars that I conduct we ask participants to examine the effects of kept and broken agreements. Typically, experiences and feelings connected with violated agreements include hurt, embarrassment, anger, betrayal, confusion, lack of clarity, disappointment and feeling devalued. Agreements honored are usually related with experiences such as trust, gratitude, responsibility, fulfillment, security, clarity, and respect. The purpose of such examination is not to moralize about the importance of keeping our promises. It’s about realizing how our relationship with our word affects our experience of life.
In this regard I suggest that there aren’t big or small agreements. Consider, for example, that I say, “I’ll call you tomorrow,” and I don’t call. We may think, “It’s no big deal.” With respect to our relationship, however, will the consequences noted above be in effect? Probably they will. At some level, your trust for me will likely diminish, and our relationship will be less whole.
Commitment is essential for self-development. Without it, we’re likely not going to significantly expand our possibilities and comfort zone. When we make agreements, we’ll probably find that, despite our best efforts, we sometimes don’t follow through. A strategy for handling broken agreements with integrity is a valuable tool for restoring relationships.
The Five As
An effective approach is the “five As”, which are 1) Acknowledge, 2) Accept responsibility, 3) Account, 4) Apologize, and 5) Amend. “Acknowledge” means to recognize that we have a broken agreement, and to express this to the person whom we transgressed. Accepting responsibility, the second of the As, denotes realization that I responded in a particular way that caused me to not honor my word. The third A is Account. Expression of accountability consists of genuinely explaining what happened. Apology is the fourth A, and it’s noteworthy that it’s fourth, not first. Oftentimes we act like apology is the first and only step in effectively handling a broken agreement. “I’m sorry” can be more about my need to restore my image, than about sincerely reinstating the soundness of the relationship. Amend is the fifth A, and consists of actively redressing the situation.
A Culture Of Trust
‘Tis a season for making resolutions, when we consider things we can do to better our lives. This is a powerful opportunity to enhance the culture of trust in our relationships, and within ourselves. My proposal is that we invoke special awareness of the effects in our life and relationships when we make an agreement and keep it.
