The next time you are with someone, try to gauge what they are
feeling. Don’t just listen to their words, look deep inside to see if you can get a handle on what they are feeling. Read between the lines. Look past the words. Practice what I call Active Listening.

This is a form of listening in which you tune into the communication of the Soul rather than of the Mind of the person before you. Feelings are the language of the soul. This is not a language that it is impossible for you to understand. In fact, just the opposite. You can often understand a person’s feelings a lot faster than you can understand their words.
Think of how many times you have listened to a person who is
distraught or frightened or very sad or deeply disappointed. Often, their words come out in jumbles, and make no sense at all. You may even have caught yourself saying, “You’re not even making sense.” You might even have used this as a defense during some verbal exchange.

A person who listens to words rather than feelings often will throw
another’s words back in their face, reciting perfectly what they’ve just said word-for-word in order to show them that they are making no sense at all.Right about then is when the other person will say, “Can you hear anything at all about how I am FEELING?”
