When you are listening to someone, give them your fullest attention. Turning your body towards them, listen for the feeling behind their words so that you can truly understand what they are trying to tell you.
Listen With Your Heart and Your Mind. Today’s Perfect Liberty teaching. I start each day reading the daily teaching and try to carry it as best as I can throughout my day. Doing this every day, you find that soon it becomes the natural way to respond and you develop a greater understanding and connection to the person(s) you interact with. How many times have you found yourself in a conversation that is one sided? Someone will ask how you are, and before you can really answer they have launched into their own recounting of what has happened to them. At such times I realize that the person’s need to share information and have someone listen is what is important in that moment. I listen. Not always, but more often then not, in listening, I hear not only the words but the feelings that accompany those words. For that space in time, there is a connection between the person talking, and myself. It might have been a sad story, an anxiety expressed, a happy moment retold, whatever it was, for me it was a moment shared. I feel glad and happy to have been able to share that moment in time with my family member/friend/acquaintance. My happiness and comfort in sharing, transfers to the person I’m interacting with, when we can connect with another individual in a personal way, a sharing way, that is a real “hug”
Too often in life we say love, hugs and kisses, or make affectionate sounds, but do we really feel the “comfort” and “joy” (closeness)
Listen With Your Heart and Your Mind.
