Conflict Energy and the Resolution Processes
MEDIATION
The parties choose a neutral third party to help them communicate and negotiate with each other. The mediator is only responsible for the process, not the solution.
The mediator sets the phase, although the choice to participate, and the level of formality, is up to the individuals. The mediator establishes an agreement to mediate and creates a problem solving environment. Then the mediator elicits the parties perspectives. They listen to each party, and reiterate their statements into neutral language, which the receivers can process the message acceptably. The mediator listens for their interests and feelings.
The the mediator establishes a problem solving agenda. The parties gather information and find alternative solutions. The parties negotiate, with the help of the mediator, and agree on a solution. The agreement is a valid written contract.(Leonard, pg111)
The biggest advantage to mediation is that the parties are free to choose the solution. Since they designed and agreed to the solution, they are more likely to abide by it. The process is private, therefor your business and personal matters are not part of public record. The cost is much less than litigation. Since emotional issues are discussed and resolved as well as substantive issues, the relationship of the parties is usually enhanced by the process.
Some parties may still try to take advantage of a lower power person, although the mediator is there to control the communication process. The solution may be a matter of public concern, so, some issues may need to be reviewed by the courts to set legal precedence.
Mediation is fairly fast - whenever both parties can get together with a mediator, the problem can be resolved. School peer mediation programs may solve the problem at the time of occurrence or at least the same day.
How does a mediator uses these functions to accelerate the positive communication energy? The mediator encodes the messages so that both the interests and feelings are understood by both people.
The mediator takes a "disfunctional statement" and alters the frequency so that the receiver hears. They will both see their perceptions in a "different light". The light the mediator shines on the statement, will allow both parties to see through their darkness. The mediator neutralizes the frequency so as not to stir up past holographic records.
