INSIGHT

Listening Beyond Words

Deep listening attends to what lies beneath words — the energy and essence between people.
A quiet, empty mind lets you perceive things ordinary listening misses.

INSIGHT

See Essence, Not Projection

Deep listening reveals the essence of a person, separate from their projected personality defects.
When we connect with essence we experience a feeling of pure love that dissolves judgment.

ADVICE

Be Still To Listen

Do nothing active in deep listening; simply be together and feel the other person with a quiet mind.
Let the clutter drop so connection naturally flows without trying to fix or interpret.
