Spiritual Practice
Listen Actively
All of us need to feel that we have been heard and that our concerns have been addressed. Often, no advice is desired or necessary. A few words or a kind expression will let others know you hear and you care. Simple words like these will keep the conversation going:
I see.
- So you’re saying . . .
- Is that so?
- Tell me more.
- Then what?
- Wow!
