• La empatía es una comprensión respetuosa de lo que experimentan los demás. En lugar de ofrecer empatía, a menudo sentimos un fuerte impulso de dar consejos o tranquilizar y explicar nuestra propia posición o sentimiento. Sin embargo, la empatía nos exige vaciar nuestra mente y escuchar a los demás con todo nuestro ser.

• Cuando cabalgas la ola, la emoción es tan estimulante que te olvidas de todo lo demás. Vives en un momento en el que nada más importa, tan concentrado en cabalgar la ola a la perfección que tú y la ola os convertís en uno. El dolor y la preocupación desaparecen, sustituidos por la euforia, parecida a la fluidez. Del mismo modo, cuando se transmite empatía, hay que esforzarse por lograr este tipo de presencia total para la persona a la que se escucha.

• Our ability to offer empathy can allow us to stay vulnerable, defuse potential violence, help us hear the word 'no' without taking it as a rejection, revive lifeless conversation, and even hear the feelings and needs expressed through silence.

  Silence, Rejection, Empathy

• In empathy, you don't speak at all. You speak with the eyes. You speak with your body. If you say any words at all, it's because you are not sure you are with the person. So you may say some words. But the words are not empathy. Empathy is when the other person feels the connection with what's alive in you.

  Marshall B. Rosenberg

  Eye, Empathy, Connections

• The Chinese philosopher Chuang-Tzu stated that true empathy requires listening with the whole being: The hearing that is only in the ears is one thing. The hearing of the understanding is another. But the hearing of the spirit is not limited to any one faculty, to the ear, or to the mind. Hence it demands the emptiness of all the faculties. And when the faculties are empty, then the whole being listens. There is then a direct grasp of what is right there before you that can never be heard with the ear or understood with the mind.

  Marshall B. Rosenberg

  Empatía, comprensión, escucha

• To do this, you can bring in nothing from the past. So the more psychology you've studied, the harder it will be to empathize. The more you know the person, the harder it will be to empathize. Diagnoses and past experiences can instantly knock you off the board. This doesn't mean denying the past. Past experiences can stimulate what's alive in this moment. But are you present to what was alive then or what the person is feeling and needing in this moment?

  Marshall B. Rosenberg

  Mean, Past, Empathy

• If you think ahead to what to say next - like how to fix it or make the person feel better - BOOM! Off the board. You're into the future. Empathy requires staying with the energy that's here right now. Not using any technique. Just being present. When I have really connected to this energy, it's like I wasn't there. I call this "watching the magic show". In this presence, a very precious energy works through us that can heal anything, and this relieves me from my "fix-it" tendencies.

  Marshall B. Rosenberg

  Feel Better, Thinking, Empathy

• Our goal is to create a quality of empathic connection that allows everyone's needs to be met.

• Empathy before education.

  Marshall B. Rosenberg

  Communication, Empathy, Nonviolent Communication

• I recommend allowing others the opportunity to fully express themselves before turning our attention to solutions or requests for relief. When we proceed too quickly to what people might be requesting, we may not convey our genuine interest in their feelings and needs; instead, they may get the impression that we're in a hurry to either be free of them or to fix their problem. Furthermore, an initial message is often like the tip of an iceberg; it may be followed by yet unexpressed, but related - and often more powerful - feelings.

• Have you ever been surfing? Imagine you're on your surfboard now, waiting for the big one to come. Get ready to get carried with that energy. Now, here it comes. That's empathy. No words - just being with that energy. When I connect with what's alive in another person, I have feelings similar to when I'm surfing.
