Why Listen?
Why Speak?
To share in joy, pain, loss, growth, failure, success, happiness and sorrow.
To not only be heard, but to hear one’s self when speaking.
To retrieve buried answers and touch your truths.
To be known, seen and accepted just as you are.
If our voices aren’t heard when we speak, our spirits are diminished. We become lost, distant from our truths, disconnected from others.
We become entangled in our internal dialogues. Simplicity transforms into complication, often seeming impossible to untangle if outside or negative inner dialogues pierce us.
We are perpetually in our own way by circular thinking, creating a loop that becomes difficult to step away from or see outside of.
When one is bravely speaking and their words are actively heard and held, the loop can open and answers to our most complicated problems become clear.
Connection
The Missed
Being heard and validated through authentic listening is missing for many in their lives. Whether it’s disconnection from partners, broken trust from prior communication attempts, overworking into isolation, inability to mentally process or compartmentalize problems, as well as isolation/alienation itself due to health, mental health, interpersonal or spiritual complications.
We are silenced both intentionally and unintentionally by people in our lives as well as our environments.
Finding someone to actively listen can be difficult. Distraction, bias, lack of time or privacy, distrust, self-consciousness, fear of advice, fear of diagnosis or lack of empathic and trusting relationships are just a few reasons we don’t speak.
The result is quietly or loudly suffering. Our thoughts are energetic and if not released they build and become bulky- unable to move or activate into fruition. Our minds can create hundreds of scenarios when we search for just one. Entanglement and mental congestion is the result if we don’t release our deepest thoughts. Allowing worry, fear, anguish, or pain to build without release will create utter confusion and illness.
What if we could suffer less just by being heard?
What if we could suffer less just by being heard?
In my life, I’ve become sick physically, emotionally, and spiritually by not being heard. Silencing began early in childhood and it’s a taken a lifetime to regain my voice. I suffered through confusion and obsessive thinking due to the inability to not just release words but to also be heard. I lacked value to my words thus lacking value for myself. The longer I existed without my voice the further lost I became from myself, my creativity, my essence. In those experiences I’ve kept deep secrets which have rotted me, requiring intense therapy and difficult, rugged rehabilitation to my mind and body.
Speaking and being heard has bridged my healing path. When I listen to others I see the bridge build for them, too, and I am here in this life to guide those seeking connection to their bridges.
If respectfully combined, immediate clarity and healing can be accomplished.
Both the release of voice through words or sound and those actions being caught, held, and heard, is a crucial two part process.
As your listener, I am half of the process. You are the other half.
