Are you listening?

Are you listening? I mean really listening and hearing what others have to say.

Recently, I’ve noticed that we simply disregard or dismiss someone if the topic is not of personal interest or we don’t agree with what is being said.  It is okay to not agree, but everyone deserves to be heard. And, when did different make it wrong? More and more, I’ve seen  that having a conversation, sharing an idea or belief change has turned into an argument. Think about the last time you shared an opinion with someone who didn’t agree with you – did it get nasty?

Wait, let me stop here … did you speak, text or email? I guess that may be the core of the issue, are we hearing and listening or reading and just making a quick judgement – snapping back with harsh words and tone in our keystrokes.

On the mat there is no right or wrong, no good or bad! Join me and explore what may be for you – your body, mind and spirit. Take the time to breath, accept and acknowledge all that there is – similar and different.

See you on the mat – Namaste
