Listening to What's Going on Inside You

The key to this very sacred art of listening is to not control or direct what's going on. To listen is to lean in softly with a willingness to be changed by what we hear. Take a moment, if you will, just to pause and close your eyes, and perhaps bring to mind one person that you'd like to deepen your capacity for listening withnd,. You might bring to mind a recent occasion of conversing. How did you control the experience? Did you get distracted into your own thoughts?
