70- Permission Granted: Learn The Art of Listening with Lyn Lindberg

"Listening with an open heart is the ultimate spiritual act. It is the greatest gift you can give to another person and ultimately yourself." ~Harriet Lerner

Have you ever been in a relationship where you have been truly listened to? Have you ever been with someone who you truly felt that all of you was welcome?

The art of listening can do just that. True listening creates a space where your loved ones feel see and heard. Where they feel safe enough to let their guard down and be who they truly are. What a gift!

However-so much of what have been taught in our Western culture is how to do the talking! We interrupt and think while the other person is talking of everything that we want to say.

Lyn Lindberg, my guest today, shares that we haven’t been taught the skills of listening. Quite frankly, our culture doesn’t value it. Our society values being in the limelight. It values the ones who are shouting-"look at me, I'm spectacular!"

And yet, listening is the gateway to healthy and rich relationships.

If you want a more intricate way to improve your relationships, listen to this episode where Lyn walks us through 8 key listening skills that we can practice to benefit from the gift of being truly connected with the people who matter to us.
