Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.

Listening is a doorway. When we listen to others, we can discover who they are, their dreams, aspirations, and get in touch with their heart. When we listen to ourselves, we can discover the same abput ourselves. When we listen to higher guidance, or intuition, or our "best self" we discover new pathways, new worlds, new futures.

Listening opens the door to communication. We may tend to think of communication as an outward direction -- talking, writing, singing, etc. But communication is not a one way street. To communicate there needs to be a giver and a receiver, otherwise there is no communication, only noise going out into the ethers. Listening also engenders respect, both for the speaker and the listener...

And we need to be both listener and speaker at the same time. We must listen as we speak to the undercurrents that are being communicated, to the inner messages we receive, to the love that is present. And when we withhold from speaking our truth, then we are closing the door to communciation, just as much as when we refuse to listen to others and to our inner guidance. So this week, you are encouraged to listen... inside, outside, and all around... and discover the magic that is there waiting for you.
