POWER OF LISTENING ~

“The first duty of love is to listen.”
– Paul Tillich

Recall for a moment the last time you felt you were really heard.  What a gift it is when someone listens to you from the heart with focus attention, without any interruptions. When we can be fully present to another, the connection is increased and love is deepened. One of the richest gifts we have to offer another is our undivided attention with a compassionate presence.  This practice has the power to transform relationships.  Listen…and you will be heard.

How to Create a Thriving Relationship

Relationship is arguably the most important task we have in life.  How we relate to each other, how we give and receive love, and the quality of that love impacts every area in our lives. The skills and knowledge we bring into our relationships determine our ability to connect, to heal, to thrive, to develop self-esteem and to contribute to the well-being of those around us.  When two people enter into a relationship they are faced with the choice of living out the relationship unconsciously (and often re-wounding each other) or making a conscious and intentional choice to contribute to the healing of each other and to growing the relationship. If you are interested in experiencing a conscious, loving relationship, the steps that follow are for you.

This article resulted from a visit to a doctor’s office when a staff member discovered I was a marriage and family therapist. This piqued her interest and she promptly inquired, “What is the secret of a good relationship? Do you have any tips?”  After 40 years in the business of helping couples heal and grow in their relationships, I responded, “Yes, I do.”
