Tips for Successful Communication Among All Human Beings

All living organisms communicate amongst themselves through sound and body language. Verbal and non-verbal language (body language) is how life expresses itself, making communication an art of life.

As long as life is moving on, so will communication move. Communication cannot be separated from life because it gives life meaning. Life cannot be separated from communication because it is how life is had.

Language enables communication among human beings. Communication reflects the need to be heard and understood, and a sense of belonging which manifests through the different languages, races, cultures, and traditions that people use to belong, though these cause separation more than fulfill a need to belong. You belong in life, on the earth, with all other living organisms in the universe.

Nature communicates with itself. That’s how photosynthesis and rain happen, it is all the language of nature. And you are a part of nature, that is your place of belonging.

Communication Is A Skill

Seeing as language is a reality you are born into, it seems frivolous to ensure that it is a skill you master. However, relationships end because of bad communication, and all of humanity connects to itself only through relationships.

With the high rates of divorce, anxiety, depression, and suicidality, etc., it is clear that there is a lack of communication among humans. Or rather that there is communication, but it is not good, fruitful communication.

So, communication proves itself to be a skill that not all master and should therefore be a skill that is retaught and relearned for mastery, for the sake of all. I believe this can happen if language and communication stand separate from each other, like pillars.

Language is a Tool for Communication

Language may be taught in school so one speaks coherently, but communication is a whole other hand that does not solely benefit from speaking. Communication is a discipline that requires its own teaching and practice.

Communication is not just words, it is tone, body language, and voice.

Human language is made by letters and their sound, but communication is made by more than just spoken word. Human language should consider emotional intelligence when communicating because it depicts tone, which is the real meaning behind your words.

You know the many words you can say to depict what you mean, but what you mean is also represented by your tone of voice and body language, like facial expression.

As is evident to grown up humans, tone speaks louder than words. Your body language also speaks louder than your words. All these speak louder than words because they are communication, not language.

There is sufficient knowledge in communication consisting of words (sound), which is the only hand school covers. It may seem homeschooling must be an actively practiced duty for all the shortcomings of the educational systems and powers that be, for the sake of the human community.

Not necessarily taking your offspring out of traditional schools, but not depending on that school system alone to develop your offspring. Indeed communication is not inherent because it can either be good, or bad, and if it’s good it is intentionally made to be good through knowledge, intent, and practice.

For communication to be communication, it must be good and purposeful. It must not bring apart (unless being apart is its goal, like an overdue breakup), but it must bring together and bring harmony and clarity, not confusion.

Confusion becomes alive in communication when language (words) is not aligned within the communication, that is, when words (language) are misaligned with tone and body language, and therefore where things start to go amiss.

Tips for Successful Communication

For communication to be successful the roles of listener and speaker should be established. This knowledge ought to be concretely established and practiced (not just known).

For successful communication, each of these roles is assumed and performed and exchanged one for the other for there to be a foundation of fruitful communication.

Second is knowing that tone is what depicts what you mean not the words used. Your tone is louder because tone carries thought and emotion. Words are extrinsic, and tone is intrinsic.

Thirdly choose words that align best with the meaning you’re trying to convey. Now that you know tone is most important, you can place some importance on words.

In doing this, it is important to first know what you mean yourself so that you can verbally communicate that specific meaning. Knowing what you mean is knowing what your spirit feels and thinks.

Fourthly is being aware of your body language and using it as a tool to further convey your communication (self-expression).

This is ensuring and being aware that your tone (what you the spirit really think and feel), words, and body language (bodily expressed emotion and thought from your spirit) are all aligned in meaning the same thing, the very meaning you know to be true.

Emotions in Communication and in Your Life

Of course, human emotion is the real doom of communication. So, fifth but not least is mastering your emotions. Emotions are themselves communication within you, and so you need to be emotionally enlightened to understand how to handle your emotions.

Emotions are not a reason (or excuse) to hurt or bruise another with your tone, words, or body language. They are an opportunity to know the reality of your moment, produced by the history of your emotional self. Firstly, you need to heal your emotional self so that you are not living by the toxicity of your unhealed emotions from past pains and traumas.

Lastly is understanding that you are a spirit, you are not your emotions, for how could you be an emotion itself if you are feeling the emotion? When healed, and not in need of emotional healing (processing an emotion) from a moment even from earlier in the day, you must step out of your emotions and live as your spirit. Not living within your emotions, being tossed to and fro by them (going through the motions.)

All that is needed is the knowledge of emotions. How to feel them without drowning, how to be in them in preparation for letting them go because they are not you.

The most valuable things in life are found only in the spiritual (untouchable) realm through your spirit. And these are kindness, joy, peace, even love (for true love is not a fleeting emotion), gentleness, patience, humility, etc. And mentally, wisdom, knowledge, counsel, and understanding. These are all spirits, not emotions or thoughts. So step into your human spirit and live through it. When your spirit feels, it feels peace, gentleness, etc. And when your spirit thinks, it thinks through wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Never bodily fleeting emotions and unending random thoughts.

Of course, everything begins simply by you deciding that it should begin. So, decide today to be intentional and purposeful in how you live your life and how you communicate. Reap the gift of communication that is wholesome, healthy, and meaningful in relationships, even in relationship with yourself.
