The Power of Listening

Mark Nipo: When we can cultivate that receptive listening presence, we get the blessing of communing. We hold back our insecurities and our vulnerabilities because we're afraid if we let other people know we'll be rejected. But I want to name something else here, which is we also hold back our love. And again, the fear is that's going to be too vulnerable. We won't be well received. Yet when we do express from a pure place, it actually activates more loving within us. It reveals the fullness of connection.
