“Listening is being able to be changed by the other person.”
Alan Alda

When you listen you not only hear the words that are spoken, but actively pay attention. You can opening your heart and mind while suspending judgement (but never discernment). Listening is an act of empathy and compassion. This card is a reminder that through listening you connect with others on a deeper level, build trust, and foster understanding. Remember that true communication is a two-way street, where listening is as important as speaking. Who do you need to listen to  and conversely - do you feel heard?

Listen Mantra: I listen with empathy and understanding.
