The Sacred Art of Listening
Hearing and listening are two different things. Learning to listen―really listen―requires sacred practice.
The Sacred Art of Listening guides you through forty practices of deep listening―to our Source, to ourselves, and to each other.
Inspiring text and contemplative artwork combine to communicate the three essential qualities of deep listening―silence, reflection and presence. They demonstrate that the key to healthy relationships and spiritual transformation can be as basic as practicing the art of listening.
You will learn how to:
- Speak clearly from the heart
- Communicate with courage and compassion
- Heighten your awareness and sensitivity to opportunities for deep listening
- Enhance your ability to listen to people with different belief systems
