Your Listening is Your Healing

Your Listening is Your Healing

Consider that in order to heal
any aspect of our experience,
listening is required.

Ideally, your practice of yoga
refines how you listen in any context.

On your mat, in any interaction,
under any conditions,
how are you listening?

The patience and precision
with which you listen during your practice
determines the quality of your healing
in any realm of your life.

Whatever is required is received
every time you listen again.

"If one learns to listen to one's heart,
it will tell one things so clearly,
what must be done, what must not be done,
the real nature of people and places and things.
Only it speaks so quietly, so subtly,
and immediately a flood of reactions, explanations,
excuses and theories have swamped it,
and we do not even recognise it speak."

"Only listening carefully to what it wants to say,
and remaining still until it has spoken,
one cannot really do the wrong thing."

This reminds me of a poem I had written 10+ years ago about listening to the voice within. ten years later and I still have not mastered it.

Beautiful quotes, thanks for them. It reminds me to know myself and not force it.
