Fearless Communication

We all want to communicate. We all want to be heard and understood. One of our deepest driving desires is to be fully seen, heard and known. But to truly communicate, we must first be ready and able to listen. Learn to deeply listen to the inner spring flowing within.

In a world of chatting, texting, and twittering, we've lost the art of deeply listening. It's one-sided with only the illusion of interface, intercommunication. As a collective culture, we're not listening; we’ve lost the art of Sunia – the practice of deep listening internal and external. Without it, there can be no dialogue—only monologue.

“The idea, the purpose of life, is to transform your consciousness into the consciousness of another person and understand on a mutual ground, so that there can be peace. ”Yogi Bhajan

We communicate for many reasons, mostly to persuade others to see things our way, to tell our side of the story, or relay information that we think is important. When we communicate like this the opportunity for real presence and real connection is lost, and we are alone again. Missing the very thing we long for – connection.

To empower our own speaking skills, we must first seek to find mutual understanding—which takes listening skills. Learning to deeply listen requires subtlety and patience. It requires us to listen to the sound within the sound and hear what the person means, not just what they are actually saying. Then there must be a precise relationship between the tip of the tongue and the movement of the navel. Mastering this single technique will give you power of the word and help to balance the Third and Fifth Chakras, then your communication has impact. Finally, the idea is to share this way of being in communion positively, not from empty affirmations but from a place of deep trust - Sat Nam.

Conscious communication calls us to a higher standard. We realise we are not only responsible for our own communication; but we're responsible for the other person's response, too. As we come to the end of May and move towards a new month June, with new energy number 6, Arcline, Intuitive Self, it’s an invitation to find our common notion through clear projection and penetrating speech. Encouraging us to remember when we deeply listen even the most hidden fears can be heard, seen and shared. Communicating consciously, with sophistication, honesty, and diplomacy, allows the other person to hear you and in turn is heard, thus we arrive at the outcome you intended, together. This is mastery—and it takes practice and positivity. In this way, communication becomes a pathway to peace and prosperity. It’s a win, win.

love, light, and laughter
