SR Live Talk Part 1: What is communication and what is a relationship? Is communication essential in relationships?

Let’s start at the very beginning: communication, in fact, is every kind of interaction, that we send out into the world. And funnily, it does not even matter if there is a receiver, and it does not matter if it was sent out on purpose, still, it fits the terminus communication. And we all have communicated unpurposely in our lives, like when we sent out an unconscious “rolling our eyeballs”. And then secretly hoped nobody had seen it.

And this little example shows us, that no matter what we do, basically everything can be seen as communication. And this applies to any kind of relationship, with your significant other, your family, your friends, your colleagues, even with your enemies and the one you have with yourself. Now you might say – yes, but I don’t send out messages to myself. Well… I remember having some interesting chats with myself once in a while… and who is not guilty of that? The question is: how is the energy of these self-talks?

Consciousness aside… also if you invite stillness in your life, I believe that once in a while, there is some self-talk in your head, maybe it is only that you went to the kitchen and forgot what you wanted to do there in the first place. You ask yourself and voila – here you have your talking.

Is this communication essential? Well, maybe not the one in the kitchen, but communication itself, yes, that is essential. Especially, if you ask the right questions and therefore, get the right answers. And it is here to create understanding, it is there for the exchange, starting from the nonverbal smiles to the very verbal discussions. All of this is communication.

And over the next weeks, we go a bit deeper into the topic of communications in relationships, as this is an essential tool to create whatever you wish to see blooming in your relationships.
