Yes, listening is an art, because not everyone really knows how to listen, staying quiet until the other has finished talking is not listening, thinking about what he’s going to say while others comment on his idea isn’t listening either. Listening is dealing with what is heard, making sense and striving to try to understand, and even feel in each other’s place, according to what is shared, in this sense silence sometimes says much more than words, and that is why it is important to know how to use them.
Listening is often just that, listening and does not require further intervention, on the other hand, you have to be close, create an almost shared space, understand how the other person who tells his story feels and thus be able to connect with him, creates more complicity and harmony, and this is weeded with interest and patience.
- Sharing silence also leads to unity.
- It’s a way of telling the other that he can count on us.
- No matter what he tells us.
- A verb that goes from history to spelling as the days go by in your business.
When we realize that we feel bad about seeing each other suffer from what he tells us, we understand that listening opens one door to the other, I don’t want him to suffer, I really want to know how he feels and not what I. I want you to feel like I’m here and I’m not going to use phrases like “I already know,” “I know too,” “I understand you. “Why don’t these phrases really help, I’ll just be there, by your side, listening.
This ideal setting is surrounded by silences. But these are not functional silences, which sometimes?Aren’t we wrong? They’re pretty awkward. They are necessary silences, silence opens a space for us to rething, reflect and chew the words we have just heard, so that we can continue the conversation.
“Never break the silence if it’s not to improve it,” L. V. Beethoven?
Being in this silence makes the atmosphere relaxed and free of haste, listening gives us clues about what the other person needs and this is only achieved when we really focus our attention on what it says and on their behavior, silence creates a pause and invites us Silence also helps us to listen. Finally, silence opens the way to the word, especially for people who are not very communicative and need a little help before taking the courage to start.
Close your eyes and open your ears, clean your lips and light your ears, disconnect your brain and connect your heart. You’re ready to listen. Everything around him has sound and, if we talk, we can’t hear it. Anyone who speaks to me tells me something about their being and their experience. If I don’t listen or answer, I won’t really know him.
Let’s forget the phrases that just try to silence each other’s disgust and anxiety, because he’s not listening, sometimes listening forces us not to respond right away, and a simple reaction like a hug or a smile after we finish speaking is enough for us. Let’s create a listening context, that’s all, just get ready to hear what the other person has to say. Only then can I react and know what it means and what to do next.
Listening is an art, as if it were the pencil that traces on the map the exact path that we have to follow to get in touch with other people, listening is an art because it gives me the opportunity to experience other realities and explore emotions that I have never experienced, all from different angles. Listening allows me to meet people and find the best way to help them. That’s why listening is an art that brings me closer to the unknown.
