Confidentiality – meditation is a confidential process – the discussions cannot be used against either party as evidence in court.
However, there are a few exceptions for example when there is a potential threat to human life or safety.
Voluntary – you cannot be forced to participate in the meditation process or forced to agree on your issues.
Neutrality and impartiality of the mediator – a mediator will help you seek mutually agreeable solutions to the issues you’re facing without taking sides.
Additionally, the mediator will not give advice or make any binding decision unless both parties give the mediator that power.
Greater control – unlike in a lawsuit, parties are in control of the mediation process. Consequently, they have much greater say in discussions and over the outcome.
Preserves relationships – since meditation is a collaborative “win/win” process, it helps preserve relationships that would otherwise be destroyed through years of litigation.
