AN ART IN LISTENING

Receiving desired guidance is such a pleasant and fulfilling experience. In times of challenge or decision, guidance is so essential and valuable. Sometimes the attempt to receive guidance can be frustrating and difficult. We may formulate just the right questions for our subconscious yet aren't getting answers. We may seek direction from our creator or universal consciousness and just aren't getting anything. An essential part of the process is listening. If I think my car is making a strange sound, I want to listen for the sound so I can tell what it is and where it's coming from. If I drive and listen for the sound without turning down my music or I continue singing while listening, how successful am I going to be? When listening for guidance or answers its important to remove static and intrusive input so we can not only hear, but hear well. Remove distractions. Turn off the television, turn off the radio, put down the unrelated book or magazine. Listen, just listen. With the stereo off and being quite, I can then hear the strange noise coming from my car and possibly where it's coming from. If you ask a question, of any source, listen and truly listen for the response.
