%% #💡 #🟠 %% # receptive listening [[listening|Listening]] by taking in whatever is said with as much receptivity as possible without responding to affirm, rebut, or influence the speaker. Mostly internal process, but has three outwardly visible signs: 1. Allowing brief, reflective silences 2. Responding to the speaker with honest, open questions to help the speaker hear more deeply whatever they are saying 3. Honoring truth-telling by speaking one's own truth openly with no intent of affirming or negating other speakers ## Sources [[A Hidden Wholeness - Parker 2004]] ## Tags --- <small>*Created on:* 2022-05-28</small> <small>*Last modified on:* 2022-11-26</small>
