Conscious Listening

Conscious Listening

A great opportunity to stay present through out the day as we interact with other people and beings is to consciously listen. What is like to be a 100% present for someone as they speak. Our minds still. Our thoughts are not trailing off into the abyss or waiting to speak or planning the future or stuck in a past event, but just listening with our whole being with all of our attention on the other person in the moment. O, and how nice it is to be heard even if you're not heard. What a nice foundation it establishes for all of our relationships. The invitation is to focus on consciously listening and being present as we proceed through the moments and stepping stones of life.
