SUMMARY:Brian and Alexandra Theard ~ Listening to Love
DESCRIPTION:Everyone wants to be heard\, but can you really listen? True listening is a gift greatly undervalued. It far transcends how the world typically regards it. In a dysfunctional relationship\, listening is severely compromised because we hear the past and relate from the past. We aren’t really listening. The errors of one seem to justify the reactions of the other. And conflict remains unresolved\, being unconsciously maintained. \nBut in a holy relationship\, the experience of listening is a collaboration of hearts\, to see together beyond all patterns of mind\, to the divine spark which shines within us now. Joining in truth removes the frame of reference by which to judge one another\, and replaces it with the power of presence beyond the limited capacity of your personal self. In listening without a past\, true empathy is refreshed\, calling forth the strength which is always shared\, always here\, and always healing. \nIn this talk we’ll explore the qualities of a true listener and the dimensions of consciousness that open the heart of listening. We’ll hone the ability to listen\, not only without judgement\, but in the peace of shared presence. \nBrian and Alexandra draw on A Course in Miracles and the tradition of Ramana Maharshi in their exploration of relationships as a path of wakening. What they have discovered is that the structure of any relationship can be a vehicle to go beyond that structure itself. Relationship\, if given to truth\, is a path of awakening to what lies beyond all concepts and definitions. \nwww.fieldofchange.com \nSuggested donation: $10 to $20
