Love consists in looking together in the same direction. Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Human touch is healing especially when the intent to heal is present. So often in relationship, one person expresses their dismay at a situation, say, at work, and the other tries to offer a fix. Most of the time, fixing isn’t what’s required. Listening is.

Deep listening is an art that can be learned.  It means keeping totally quiet. It means just hearing what your Beloved is saying, and not planning what you’re going to say in return.

I like to recommend that partners learn the art of Reiki, a Japanese lay-on-of-hands technique that uses the universal energy available in everyone. Sometimes it helps to make conversation easier to be able to hold the talker with healing intent.

Deep listening and healing touch work wonders especially if all you want is to make sure your Beloved feels heard. Most of the time our friends and families can solve their own problems if they can just hear what they themselves are saying.

Resolve to be a healing influence, listen deeply, touch appropriately and encourage your Beloved.
