Meditation Essentials: Learn To Listen

Listening accounts for at least half our daily communication. Meditating on the conversations of the day is a good way to enhance our powers of awareness.

Before you go to bed each night, spend five minutes recalling a dialogue from that day. Try to recapture in your mind all the nuances in tone of the speaker. Try to recall the speaker's body language. Remind yourself that listening is far more than simply hearing. It is about attention to detail and giving that person your entire awareness and presence.
