Be honest... when you are talking to someone, do you listen to what they are saying or do you simply wait for your turn to speak? Mindful listening is the act of quieting your mind during a conversation so you can actually listen to them rather than just thinking about what you will say back. Whenever you listen to a mindful teacher speak, Eckhart Tolle, Ram Dass, Love Serve Remember, Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, you will notice moments of silence between words and phrases. They are being mindful of the conversation at hand. They pause and reflect. They speak slowly and with purpose. And they listen fully to those who are speaking to them. When someone is talking to you, listen to them. When it is your turn to speak, pause and collect your thoughts before you speak. Then, be mindful of what you say. This is the true art of communication. Namasté
