The greatest issue of the world is not violence, hunger, poverty, sickness, addictions, pollution, etc... These are symptoms of the real problem. People are clamoring to be heard. Who is really listening? When we begin to listen, the issues will disappear. Healing at any level requires experiencing more love, especially self-love. We are not fully present to the needs of others, because we are not present to ourselves as individuals. Listening at the deepest levels is what allows for healing and wholeness. When individuals and peoples feel understood, they are able to respond instead of being reactionary. Have you ever wondered why certain songs, books or television shows tend to soar to the top? Whenever people feel heard and understood, the feel acknowledged. These forms of art help individuals tap into emotions and experiences that we otherwise try to block. They serve as a way in. But you can also use such catalysts to experience more of the self? How can you listen more deeply? 1. BE PRESENT TO THE BODY: By listening to the sensations of the body, innate intelligence can get your attention. This physical system is connected to several levels of your being, so that more of the self can be known. Sensation leads to feeling. 2. BE PRESENT TO THE FEELINGS: By listening to feelings, the emotional body reveals areas where healing is being called for and where more self-love is required. Feelings lead to thoughts. 3. BE PRESENT TO THE THOUGHTS: By acknowledging the thoughts you hold, true or untrue, you are able to see how choices, patterns and behaviors are shaped. Thoughts lead to knowing beliefs that are held. 4. BE PRESENT TO THE BELIEFS: By listening to the beliefs that are held, a choice point presents itself. Beliefs create choices and circumstances that align with or go against the truth resting in the very core of every individual. Subsequent choices result in life being in a flow or against a flow. 5. BE PRESENT TO THE ENERGY: As you move more deeply inside and begin connecting the body, feelings, thoughts and beliefs, they become sensitive to the energy that surrounds and permeates them. Your energy field attracts more that is like who you experience and express as. This autocorrect is the ‘Law of Attraction’. As an individual shifts the other levels of being, their energy also shifts. Each person can help change the world by first listening to themselves, their body and their families. When deeply listening to the self, your wounds, hurts, dreams and desires become known. By not suppressing these important aspects of self, dis-ease will be decreased. Emotional and mental well-being will strengthen. Life will flow more naturally. In addition, the degree of fear, anxiety and depression will also be alleviated. It is so easy to get caught up in the outside world. The massive amount of stimuli and activity bombarding people so a lot is heard but not much is listened to. There is a great distinction between the two. However, hearing does not necessarily connote presence. Listening is being present with intention and attention Listening is loving. However, you must first be willing to listen to yourself, or yo will never truly be able to listen to any other. Do you want o love better? Do you desire to listen more? How can you activate self-love though listening? 1. Self-Love is listening to the body. 2. Self-Love is listening to feelings that rise. 3. Self-Love is listening to the thoughts that pop in and out. 4. Self-Love is listening to the beliefs that manage you. 5. Self-Love is being attentive to ht energy that surrounds you. Giving the gift of listening to the self increases the ability to hear those around us as well. As we each heal, grow and become present, we see, hear and acknowledge a world that is in waiting. Right now, you are the one you ave been waiting to be heard; and, you are the one invited to listen. . In this way, one person can change their world… and help change the world.
