How to Be a Good Listener?

Someone asked, teach us how to be a good listener. We can't all be therapists, but we need to learn how to listen and empathize. active listening really means that you're conveying to the other person really showing them that you're hearing what they're saying. People are afraid to do emotional meditation because they feel if I say this it must mean I'm responsible for their feelings. And so there's a very, very quick example which is a silly one but they'll be clarifying later.
