THE POWER OF REAL COMMUNICATION
It is a fact that almost everyone knows how to talk, but few know how to listen and even fewer know how to have real heart to heart communication.
If you want to share a life of ever-expanding love, peace and happiness
with your life partner, your family, your children, your circle of close friends
and beloveds, and everyone else in your life who matters to you,
you must develop your ability to listen to them,
to be quiet and listen to others so that you actually
hear what they are saying.
If you understand what real communication is
and are willing to develop it,
you can create and sustain real open hearted conversation
between yourself and others which is one
of the most important needs all of us have.
We need to know that we are being heard, understood and
being responded to and just as importantly,
that we can reliably have safe, on-going communication
with those people we care about.
Real communication is soul satisfying and healing.
When people are able to share real communication,
then they have the essential skill for working through
anything challenging or painful that arises in the relationship.
Real communication is nurturing and
is the essential element for growing and keeping
a close love relationship alive, vibrant and happy.
SOME CORE TRUTHS ABOUT COMMUNICATION
I want to go over some of the the core truths about communication,
which I am only now beginning to really understand after a lifetime of
close, but often very challenging, personal love relationships.
These core truths apply to all of our relationships,
because all relationships need to have good communication to work.
LISTEN WITH YOUR HEART
Every communication is either
an expression of Love…
or a cry for help.
—Yeshe Gyamtso
LOVE and COMMUNICATION ARE INTIMATELY CONNECTED
Love and communication are intimately connected.
You cannot have one without the other…
love makes it possible to communicate and communication makes love grow,
round and round in an ever expanding circle.
Every relationship that is growing is growing
because you are constantly sharing good, clear communication…
Every relationship that is in trouble, stressed and strained,
in a state of constant battle or fails and ends in separation,
even when there was so much loving promise and possibility…
Got into dire straits due to the lack of real communication.
COMMUNICATION IS THE BLOOD and BREATH OF ALL LOVE RELATIONSHIPS
Communication is the life’s blood and breath of all love relationships,
without which, they will die a slow and agonizing death.
You can not have a great relationship without good communication…
But, as I know from a lifetime of personal experience,
as long as the two people love and care for each other and their relationship,
and are willing to patiently work for it, you can gradually develop
closer and closer open hearted soul satisfying communication.
.
Real heart to heart communication is the one thing that all of us
absolutely have to have in our lives to thrive,
yet, the sad truth is most of us have difficulty communicating—
because most of us have either never had any real communication
or have forgotten its true meaning, power and purpose.
AWAKENING
Even with random communication,
Things begin to reawaken.
—Robert Creeley
ALMOST EVERYONE KNOWS HOW TO TALK, BUT FEW KNOW HOW TO COMMUNICATE
Almost everyone knows how to talk,
but few know how to communicate, even with their closest beloveds…
and fewer still know how to listen with their heart so intently
that the space for communion is created.
If you study the root phrases and meanings of the word “Communicatiion”,
you will discover that communication is the ability
to create and sustain the state of pure communion.
If you study “Communion”, you will discover it means
achieving “union” — the state of two becoming
one with each other through heart to heart communication.
Thus, the purpose of true communication is for
two separate beings to achieve union with each other
through conversing, telepathic alignment or heart to heart transmission.
True communication is always loving, humble and respectful…
recognizing and accepting others as they are,
ever positive, appreciative and grateful,
for these attitudes and actions,
especially when Love is their source,
are the doorways to being in communion.
I am sharing all this with you
so you can begin to see the need for communication
from a higher perspective and understand its higher purpose.
Meanwhile, I encourage you to test what I am saying
About the power of communication in your daily life by,
Even just for one day, deciding to practice being fully present
and in a state of focused listening to others with everyone in your life today…
With the total intention of achieving real communication—
you will be amazed and delighted by the results!
BEING LOVE
I’m not interested in being a “lover”,
I’m interested only in being Love.
The quieter you become,
the more you hear.
—Ram Das
