From the page:
"Mark and Andy have also developed a new form of interpersonal meditation, called Compassionate Communication, that integrates mindfulness exercises with intentional dialogue. In workshops conducted in churches and schools, they have proven that this strategy rapidly facilitates social intimacy and cooperation between any two people or groups of individuals, in less than fifteen minutes. It can be learned in a single afternoon or one-day intensive workshop, which Mark and Andy now offer schools, hospitals, mental health associations, and religious/spiritual organizations around the country.
Along with a growing network of psychologists, social workers, research scientists, and religious leaders from various spiritual communities, Mark and Andy are continuing to document how these simple techniques can help resolve conflicts with couples and families. In fact, they can even be used in corporate meetings to improve sales and organizational cooperation.
Compassionate Commuincation was created from various aspects of well-tested stress-reduction, relaxation, and mindfulness strategies, and is the cornerstone of Mark's and Andy's vision to help people find a little more inner peace, and to bring that peacefulness into dialogues with others, especially those who hold opposing systems of belief.
Thus we believe that a combination of neuroscience and spirituality can be used to bring a little more peace into the world. It begins with a positive idea, and if you consciously hold that vision in your frontal lobe (which is the most recently evolved part of your brain), it will change the structure of an ancient limbic brain that was originally designed to protect us from impending disasters and fears. This is why we say that anyone can use meditation, in either a religious or secular form, to actually change his or her brain. "
