The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says, but rather to what he does not say. ~ Kahlil Gibran
True listening is being present in the silence. It requires patience! If you find it difficult to be still in the pauses...try meditation. Meditation takes you deep within, underneath the chaos, to a place of stillness. The result is the ability to be present throughout your day.
Being...is a way of giving to others. Have you ever met someone who spoke slowly ? Did you judge them for it? Do you always think others are at fault because of the traffic flow? A way to be at peace, to heal yourself and others is presence. Meditation allows for us to awaken to the deep consciousness that is the true essence of our being.
