RECEPTIVITY - This is such an important lesson that I teach it as often as I can. To truly listen to someone is the best gift you can give them. When we listen while formulating a response, we are not actually listening to what is being said. When we listen with all of our being we come from a place of compassion and empathy. When we keep our head busy creating our response while the other person is still talking we miss so much of what is being said, it's the same as writing while listening, the two don't go together, we miss key words, inflexions. Of course, we can listen and write at the same time, we do this all the time, but, do you notice a difference when you don't, when you give 100% of your attention to someone is there a different connection between the two of you, do you "get it" more. Try for today to simply listen to those who talk to you. By remaining in the moment see if you feel any difference at the end of the day. I bet you 'get it' before bed tonight...
