the art of communication is not about talking, rather it’s all about listening; thru deeply listening with compassion most of mystery will be unfolded

This is a great tool to teach to our children from an early age, teach them the habit of listenning and put attention to their breathing and heart beat, an easy way to meditate and to become more calmed and awared adults

Through Yoga and Meditation I learned to listen,though, not always, this article reminded me that I must keep listening. I have improved my guitar playing just by listening to music. How it has help me and thanks to this article I’m reminded to be still and listen. “Be still and Know that I’m am near” Gédéon.

I enjoyed the article. I’m a musician but not always a good listener. This is a wake-up call to me. I try not to interrupt others but sometimes I forget if I’m in a heated discussion with close family members. Those times when I can just be quiet and listen — particularly when I’m feeling like I’m being unfairly criticized — not only calm me down but seems to diffuse a tense situation. Now that I think about it, if I’m engrossed in practicing or performing music, I can’t be defensive or argumentative — all my concentration is on playing the music.

THANKS! I’m so busy thinking that I missed what you said.
Now I hear what you’re saying, but I missed your meaning.

It’s not easy, but it’s worth the effort. THANKS!

Listening is at the core of being a civilised human being. In the world of today we want to interrupt, talk ceaselessly and rush without listening to our inner selves. animals rarely interrupt and listen with their whole being. The Hindu philosophy of Yoga & meditation lays great stress on listening to the Brahma Nad ( Universal Sound)

I have a fiancee who is a great musician but a lousy listener.
How would you explain that?

Yes i agree with you if you want to be heard you must first of all listen to those talking before you. In fact if you listen you get the full story unlike when you interupt, you comment off balance.

Yes listening is an art that needs to be cultivated in many ways, from listening to people, body language and music in a persons voice, people all need attention, and you can learn so much about a person by listening. Sometimes people are singing a sad song if we listen we can hear their emotions underneath it all and sometimes they are singing a happy song and just being in the same room with them makes you happy if you listen.

My calmness levels really affect my listening skills so I guess the reverse must be true too.
