Living Principles: Deep Listening & Kind Speech

 Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change.  Today's program revolves around cultivating deep listening and kind speech. As we develop these skills we are able to honor and respect others even if we disagree with them. During ordinary conversation we can learn to come from a place of neutrality... without having a certain position about a subject/  Thus, we can exchange ideas easily and effortlessly, without attempting to persuade others into accepting our viewpoint.  And at the same time, if we feel strongly about a subject, we can state that and let them know ahead of time, we have a position, then we can still proceed with kind speech...and deep listening, because they know we do have such a position.  In addition, this Principle also includes an opportunity for us to empower others, nurturing their self-confidence and individual uniqueness. Other aspects of this are not to lie, spread untruth, gossip or cause unnecessary hurt to others.  And then if we recognize there is a conflict or an unresolved issue, we address it with efforts to resolve and reconcile with the other parties involved.  Please call in or listen and join the conversation.
