Meditation to Listen without Fear
- 12-32 minutes, 31-62 minutes
- 2 exercises
- Medium activity level
To be able to truly listen, and to act on what we know, we need inner security. Otherwise, even though certain arguments or suggestions may be rational and positive, they are hard to hear and to act on.
By working on the head and the heart center, this meditation helps create that necessary inner balance to get past the fear that blocks your ability to actually listen to another person. It also helps release old emotions by stimulating the brain stem. When these blocks of fear and emotion are clear, you are able to express yourself truly and listen to another person clearly.
As you meditate, imagine a million people sitting before you. You have come before them to elevate their consciousness and their lives. They depend on you. You listen to every heartbeat and frequency. You are confidently radiant, and take each thought to Infinity.
