The Art Of Listening

Listening is a powerful skill, but an often neglected one, whether listening to our inner voices or to the people in our lives. Stephen Covey wrote that “The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand. We listen to reply.” So, when listening to our inner selves or to other people, we first must learn to be silent. From the space of silence, we can attune our hearing in a different way, a listening way, a way that seeks understanding rather than comment. Communication is possible. Understanding is possible. The guided meditation lasts for around twenty minutes and the music continues for a time to give you a gentle return from your meditation. The music is by Chris Collins.
