Listen With Your Heart
When we listen from our heart, the logical grid of our brain tends to soften and melt.
Most of us were born and raised in cultures that value the head over the heart and, as a result, we place our own hearts below our heads in a sort of inner hierarchy of which we may not be conscious.
What this means is that we tend to listen and respond from the neck up, often leaving the rest of our bodies with little or no say in most matters. This is a physical habit, which sometimes feels as ingrained as the way we breathe or walk.
However, with effort and awareness, we can shift the energy into our hearts, listening and responding from this much deeper, more resonant place.
