Listen deeply to understand from "summary" of The Art of Communicating by Thich Nhat Hanh
Listening deeply means giving the other person our full presence and attention. It means putting aside our own thoughts, judgments, and preconceptions in order to truly understand what the other person is saying. When we listen deeply, we are not just hearing the words that are spoken; we are also paying attention to the feelings, emotions, and intentions behind those words.
To listen deeply is to listen with compassion and empathy. It means being fully present with the other person and acknowledging their feelings and experiences without judgment or criticism. When we listen deeply, we are creating a space for the other person to express themselves fully and openly, without fear of being misunderstood or invalidated.
Listening deeply is an act of love and understanding. It is a way of showing respect and care for the other person, of valuing their thoughts and feelings, and of honoring their humanity. When we listen deeply, we are affirming the other person's worth and dignity, and we are building a connection based on mutual trust and respect.
Listening deeply is a skill that can be cultivated and developed through practice. It requires mindfulness and awareness, as well as a willingness to let go of our own ego and desires in order to truly hear and understand the other person. When we listen deeply, we are not just listening with our ears; we are listening with our hearts and our souls, and we are creating a space for true communication and connection to occur.
