Listening

Listening is not the same as hearing, and requires the use of more than just the ears. Today,we live in a society of the short attention span,with everything geared towards brief "sound bites" of information. The result is that many have stopped knowing how to truly "listen" to others: body, mind, and soul. It is not so much qhat is said and heard, as to how we relate and react to the information.

The act of listening empowers and inspires others. It gives them a sense of belonging and understanding. It is the first step on a
path to peace and harmonious relationships.
