Connection and Communication
To communicate with anyone, there must be a connection.
To
connect with anyone, you must be willing to communicate.
So
often in this world we have lost our connection.
When
we are not connected with ourselves or others, it is impossible to be heard.
How do you connect and with whom?
When
you care, you tune in.
When
you dare, you listen to what you hear and feel.
When
you share, you respond with appreciation.
How do you create an open line between you and another?
How
do you allow others to connect with you?
How
open are you to receive communication?
How
willing are you to respond to what you receive?
A direct connection happens when people are face-to-face and both
engaged in the communication.
This
seems to happen for shorter spans of time with current busyness and distraction
interfering.
When
we are attempting to connect with someone, we must see if they are available.
Availability
happens rarely due to multi tasking and playing many parts with multiple
functions.
Consider how rarely you simply sit with someone solely to connect
and communicate.
See
how long both parties can maintain their conscious connection and focus in the
conversation.
Counseling
is a sacred space in which two people are connecting and communicating freely.
When
you experience this sacred connection, profound insights, healing and holy
moments can occur.
With email, cell phones, texting, faxing, and US mail, we
experience the need to communicate.
Often
abbreviated messages, sometimes misunderstanding can and does occur.
It is
essential that we all take the time to connect with one another before
attempting to be understood.
Use
etiquette to inquire how and where and when is an effective way to communicate.
Stop and listen to the other person.
Clarify
what both parties interpretations are.
People
often hear what they hold in their minds.
Clear
communication always involves a need to clarify what is being said.
Stop and listen to what you have said.
Make
sure you are hearing and receiving your own messages.
Emotional
expressions are often misheard or misunderstood.
Create
an inner space of peace to set your own goal or desired outcome.
When you write or text, read what you have written before you send
it.
Make
sure the tone of feelings and words you write are true as you read them.
Make
no assumptions and always give, speak and write your very best.
It is
far easier to clarify what you say and write than to try to clean up the mess
after the fact.
When you have made a mistake or been misunderstood, always
apologize immediately.
Take
full responsibility for the miscommunication.
It is
the responsibility of the communicator to find the way to be understood.
It is
a gift of the most conscious one to make sure there is clear communication.
Connecting with you as I open the way to write these Loving
Reminders,
Trusting
you will always receive the love behind and within my intention,
Loving
you with the best I know as I love us both.
