#MovingMessageMonday Todays video holds a humbling amount of truth. Lets hear Vietnamese Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, talk about compassionate listening in this interview. If you want to help him or her to correct his perception, you wait for another time. But for this, the time being, you just listen with compassion and help him or her to suffer less. One hour like that can bring transformation and healing. -Thich Nhat Hanh Lets set an intention to open our ears to those around us. We learn from listening, not from speaking. We learn how to stop and process the world around us. We learn different perceptions of ourselves and of the speaker and his or her situation. Most importantly, when we arent waiting to talk, we are able to avoid taking what we hear personally. Because of this, listening to someone is one of the greatest demonstrations of love and acceptance. Today, practice simply listening to the world around you, to your loved ones, and to your intuitions. Dont take rash action, just listen. Ponder what new things you might discover when you allow yourself to relax and open your ears. Todays Focus Question: How will I listen without judgement in every part of my day?
