Whenever we relate with others, there is an opportunity to be completely present, and aware, listening and responding from the best part of our being. This comes from learning the skill of integrating meditation and mindfulness into our entire day. When we listen this way, the other person naturally feels accepted and safe, and genuinely heard, and we find ourselves nourished and fulfilled as well. Cultivating compassionate presence is a way of being that is invaluable for everyone.
