One of the mystifying issues I have spent years pondering and talking about on the radio is consciousness.

How do we become more conscious?
What is the difference between consciousness and awareness?
Who am I?
Why am I here?

If you are interested in these questions, you will want to listen to today’s edition of Inner Vision with my guest, Steven Sadleir. He has taught self-realization to thousands of students in over 120 countries. Mr. Sadleir is also an author of many books and Director of the Self Awareness Institute in Laguna Beach, California.

Have you found peace within? Are you looking for bliss? Are you stuck looking for happiness form the outside in?

Join us today on InnerVision at 1:00 PM, PST on 90.7 FM or on line at www.kpfk.org, worldwide!

“By realizing this Divine presence within you, it opens up: it blooms like the thousand-petaled lotus.”

-Steven Sadleir

A quick review of what stress is and how communication goes awry as a result will be the topic for our August 1st of “First Tuesday” on Inner Vision.

Our minds think stress if there is anything we’re worried about. It could be a health issue, family problem or difficulty at work.

However, our bodies experience stress as any CHANGE takes place in our lives. This includes happy things that occur as well as upsetting events. Stress takes place because it is the body’s de-compensation or wear and tear as we adjust to the continuously changing environment.

So, thinking about things or imagining about what might happen in the future is also perceived by the body as stressful. Pushing your body too hard, illness and environmental factors can cause changes in the body as well as, resulting in emotional stress.

Also keep in mind that emotional stress from arguments, conflicts, or other pressures can cause us to communicate in a less effective manner.

For example, Virginia Satir, a pioneer in family therapy, identified four styles of dysfunctional movements in response to stress (see “The New Peoplemaking”, 1988):

Placating
Blaming
Computing
Distracting

These are used to avoid, criticize, control or distract respectively, rather than talk through an issue until resolved.

Satir stated that the only way to communicate effectively is through leveling. This alleviates the need to use the four above mentioned dysfunctional communication modes and calls for careful listening, staying focused on one issue at a time and using “I” statements.

Here is a useful formula to use: (fill in the blanks)
“When you_________________, I feel______________________.
What I want/need is______________________________.
