Do you listen or just hear?
Hearing is the function of our mind and mind has a tendency to constantly rationalize. When mind is engaged in rationalization it cannot fully attend.
When you just hear, you’re mostly getting ready to speak and perhaps mentally rehearsing what you’re going to say next.
Listening is much more deeper – it involves the heart or soul may be!
When you listen, you give your full attention to what’s being communicated to you. You not only just focus on what the other person is saying but you also focus on what he or she means.
Listening is Meditation. So clear your mind for the duration and give your 100% to the conversation.
Listening well is as much about meditation as meditation is about listening.
That’s the only way you can live each moment fully.
