Speaker 1: You can arrive however you are. There is no correct
Speaker 1: way to be here in this moment, no perfect posture,
Speaker 1: no right way to breathe. If you are sitting in
Speaker 1: a quiet room with your eyes closed, that is enough.
Speaker 1: If you are lying down with the afternoon light falling
Speaker 1: across your floor, that is enough. If you are listening
Speaker 1: while driving in your car pulled over to the side
Speaker 1: of a quiet road, you are welcome here too. This
Speaker 1: space is not about doing anything correctly. It is simply
Speaker 1: about being present, about allowing yourself this small pocket of
Speaker 1: time where nothing is required of you except to be
Speaker 1: exactly where you are. You do not need to have
Speaker 1: your life in order. You do not need to feel
Speaker 1: peaceful or calm or ready. You can arrive however you are,
Speaker 1: and that arrival itself is the beginning of what we
Speaker 1: are here to practice together. So let us begin with
Speaker 1: a breath. Not because the breath is constated, the body
Speaker 1: knows it is always here. It has never left you.
Speaker 1: Even in the moments when you feel most scattered, most overwhelmed,
Speaker 1: most lost in the noise of the day, the breath
Speaker 1: continues its quiet work, rising and falling without your having
Speaker 1: to ask it to there is something profound in that
Speaker 1: constancy in the bodies, in assistance on continuing even when
Speaker 1: everything else feels uncertain. Simply notice it. Notice the air
Speaker 1: entering through your nostrils popal protectively, more peaceful, or deeper,
Speaker 1: or more peaceful. Simply notice it. Notice the air entering
Speaker 1: through your nostrils cooler perhaps than you expect it. Notice
Speaker 1: the gentle expansion of the breath cage, the slight slift
Speaker 1: of the belly on the antle. Notice the air entering
Speaker 1: through your nostrils couple, perhaps than you expect it. The
Speaker 1: title of this quiet moment together is the quiet practice
Speaker 1: of listening to yourself. And I want to talk to
Speaker 1: you about what it means to listen to yourself, why
Speaker 1: it matters so much in a world that rarely stops talking,
Speaker 1: and how you might begin to find your way back
Speaker 1: to the voice that has been speaking to you all along,
Speaker 1: the voice that never really stopped trying to be heard.
Speaker 1: Listening to yourself is different from imagining about yourself. It
Speaker 1: is different from analyzing your feelings or judging your reactions,
Speaker 1: or trying to figure out what you should do next.
Speaker 1: Listening is softer than that. Listening is open. It is curious.
Speaker 1: It is curious is the willingness to hear what is
Speaker 1: actually there, rather than what you wish were there or
Speaker 1: what you fear might be there. When you listen to yourself,
Speaker 1: you are not trying to solve anything. You are not
Speaker 1: trying to fix anything. You are simply making room for
Speaker 1: the truth of what you are experiencing in this moment,
Speaker 1: to be known, to be witnessed, to be held in
Speaker 1: your own awareness. And this is harder than it sounds,
Speaker 1: because the world is very loud. The world has become
Speaker 1: self loud, with its messages, its notifications, its endless stream
Speaker 1: of unformation and opinion and suggestion. There are voices coming
Speaker 1: at you from every direction, telling you who to be,
Speaker 1: what to want, how to live, what to buy, what
Speaker 1: to fear, what to hope for. Most of these voices
Speaker 1: are not malicious. Most of them are simply noise, the
Speaker 1: unavoidable background hum of modern existence. It is not that
Speaker 1: the voice goes away. This is not laziness. This is
Speaker 1: simply what happens when the signal gets too weak and
Speaker 1: the static gets too strong. It is what happens to
Speaker 1: a voice when no one is listening, when the listening
Speaker 1: stops pressed down, diminished until it becomes almost imperceptible. A
Speaker 1: whisper in a stadium, a single candle in a hurricane.
Speaker 1: You may have selfed the drift, making decisions based on
Speaker 1: what others expected or what seemed logical. A whisper in
Speaker 1: a stadium, a single candle in a hurricane. You may
Speaker 1: have noticed this in your own life. You may have
Speaker 1: had moments, perhaps many moments. There are reasons why this happened,
Speaker 1: reasons why the listening stopped with compassion rather than judgment.
Speaker 1: One of the main reasons we stopped listening to ourselves
Speaker 1: is that we learned early on that the inner voice
Speaker 1: was not always safe to follow. Perhaps you were a
Speaker 1: child who was told that your feelings were wrong, that
Speaker 1: you were being too sensitive, that you did not know
Speaker 1: what was best for you. Perhaps you were a child
Speaker 1: who was told that your feelings were wrong, that you
Speaker 1: were being too sensitive, that you did not know what
Speaker 1: was best for you. Perhaps you were praised for being quiet,
Speaker 1: for being agreeable, for going along with what others wanted,
Speaker 1: and so you learn to silence them, to push them down,
Speaker 1: to pretend they were not. But the cost of that
Speaker 1: adaptation is that you lost touch with a vital part
Speaker 1: of yourself, the part that knows what you want, what
Speaker 1: you need, what feels true and right for you. Another
Speaker 1: reason the listening stopped is that the world became faster, louder,
Speaker 1: more demanding. You are expected to produce, to perform, to
Speaker 1: keep up, to know what is coming next so that
Speaker 1: you can prepare for it. In such a world, there
Speaker 1: is no time for stillness, no space for uncertain no
Speaker 1: permission to wait until you know what you actually consider
Speaker 1: before you speak or act. The culture does not wait
Speaker 1: for you to consult yourself. The culture moves fast and
Speaker 1: not trusting what it is telling you. The treasure is
Speaker 1: still less and not trusting what it is telling you.
Speaker 1: The reason you feel lost sometimes is not that you
Speaker 1: have no compass, but that you have been looking at
Speaker 1: the compass and not trusting what it is telling you
Speaker 1: surface Spotter Prinson. The rivity that you have been looking
Speaker 1: at the compass and not trusting what it is telling you.
Speaker 1: What gets in the way of listening to yourself is
Speaker 1: not only the external noise, though the external noise is
Speaker 1: certainly a formidable obstacle. What gets in the way is
Speaker 1: also the internal noise. The cacophony of competing voices inside you,
Speaker 1: the judgments and fears, and shoulds and oughts that fill
Speaker 1: the space where the quiet voice tries to speak. You
Speaker 1: may have noticed this if you have ever tried to
Speaker 1: sit in silence and notice what is happening inside you.
Speaker 1: Instead of finding stillness, you find a kind of chaos,
Speaker 1: a constant churning of mental activity, a stream of commentary
Speaker 1: that does not seem to have any clear origin or destination.
Speaker 1: Part of this is the nervous system, the ancient alarm
Speaker 1: system that is always saking of differention, the same mobilization
Speaker 1: of energy, the same message that says, pay attention, be ready,
Speaker 1: something is wrong. And so the nervous system keeps you
Speaker 1: in a state of low grade emergency, always un alert,
Speaker 1: always prepared for the next thing. And this is profoundly
Speaker 1: incompatible with the stillness that listening. There is also a
Speaker 1: fear that lives beneath the noise, a fear that is
Speaker 1: worth naming because it is so common and yet so
Speaker 1: rarely spoken about. The fear is this that if you
Speaker 1: finally listen to yourself, really listen, you might not like
Speaker 1: what you hear. You might hear grief that you have
Speaker 1: been avoiding You might hear anger that you have been suppressing.
Speaker 1: You might hear a longing so deep and so old
Speaker 1: that you do not know what to do with it.
Speaker 1: You might hear the truth about a relationship, a job,
Speaker 1: a choice you made, and that truth might demand something
Speaker 1: of you that you are not sure you are ready
Speaker 1: to give. There is a reason that the inner voice
Speaker 1: gets quieter when it is not met with receptivity. There
Speaker 1: is a reason that avoidance feels safer than inquiry. The
Speaker 1: inner voice is not always gentle. Sometimes it says hard things.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it says things that would require you to change,
Speaker 1: to grow, to leave behind something familiar, to step into
Speaker 1: the unknown, and so the fear of hearing these things,
Speaker 1: the fear of what you might discover if you finally
Speaker 1: stopped and listened, becomes another reason to keep moving, to
Speaker 1: keep filling the space with noise. The inner voice is
Speaker 1: not always gentle. Sometimes it says hard things. Sometimes it
Speaker 1: says things that would require you to change, to grow,
Speaker 1: to leave behind something familiar, to step into the unknown,
Speaker 1: and so the fear of hearing these things. There is
Speaker 1: also the fear of being wrong. You may have noticed
Speaker 1: that when you do have a sense of what you want,
Speaker 1: or what you believe, or what feels right. There is
Speaker 1: often a counter voice, a doubting voice. What if you
Speaker 1: are making the wrong choice. What if you are fooling yourself.
Speaker 1: What if the thing that feels true to you is
Speaker 1: actually just to react a pattern, a wound dressed up
Speaker 1: in the clothing of wisdom. This doubting is not without value.
Speaker 1: Discernment is important. Not every impulse deserves to be followed.
Speaker 1: But there is a difference between wise discernment and chronic
Speaker 1: self doubt, between listening carefully and listening with a verdict
Speaker 1: already in mind. The fear of being wrong can become
Speaker 1: so dominant that it paralyzes the listening entirely that you
Speaker 1: stop trusting anything you hear from yourself, because the doubt
Speaker 1: is always there, second guessing, undermining, insisting that someone else
Speaker 1: must know better that the external expert, the external approval,
Speaker 1: the external validation is the only reliable source of truth.
Speaker 1: The fear of being wrong can become so dominant that
Speaker 1: it paralyzes the listening entirely that you stop trusting anything
Speaker 1: you hear from yourself. I want to offer you a
Speaker 1: different way of reflecting about this, a way that might
Speaker 1: make the practice of listening to yourself feel less like
Speaker 1: a mountain to climb and more like a homecoming. And
Speaker 1: that way begins with the body. The body is always listening.
Speaker 1: The body has never stopped listening. While you were busy
Speaker 1: ignoring your inner voice, while you were lost in reflection
Speaker 1: and distraction and the endless scroll of external input, the
Speaker 1: body was taking notes. The body noticed when you were
Speaker 1: tired and kept going anyway. The body noticed when a
Speaker 1: certain conversation made your stomach titan. The body noticed when
Speaker 1: you were in the presence of someone who felt safe
Speaker 1: and someone who did not. The body keeps its own counsel.
Speaker 1: It does not judge you for what it notices. It
Speaker 1: simply records. It simply knows, and it waits for you
Speaker 1: to come back and ask. The body is the oldest
Speaker 1: listener you have and it has never stopped. We are
Speaker 1: waiting for you. You may have heard the phrase the
Speaker 1: body knows. This is not a metaphor. This is a
Speaker 1: literal truth. The body knows things that the mind has
Speaker 1: forgotten or never learned. The body knows what it feels
Speaker 1: like to be in the presence of kindness and in
Speaker 1: the presence of threat, even when the conscious mind cannot
Speaker 1: articulate the difference. The body knows where you hold your tension,
Speaker 1: where you have been holding your breath without realizing it,
Speaker 1: where you have been bracing against a danger that is
Speaker 1: no longer present. The body is not trying to trick
Speaker 1: you or mislead you. The body is not invested in
Speaker 1: the stories you tell yourself about who you are and
Speaker 1: what you want. When you begin to listen to the body,
Speaker 1: you may notice things you have been ignoring. You may
Speaker 1: notice that your shoulders are raised almost to your ears,
Speaker 1: that you have been carrying tension in your jaw, that
Speaker 1: your breath is shallow and high in your chest. You
Speaker 1: may notice areas of numbness, places where you have disconnected
Speaker 1: from sensation because feeling was too painful. You may notice
Speaker 1: the opposite areas of heightened sensitivity, places where even the
Speaker 1: brush of clothing feels like too much. You may notice
Speaker 1: the opposite areas of heightened sensitivity, places where even the
Speaker 1: brush of clothing feels like too much. All of this
Speaker 1: is information. All of this is the body trying to
Speaker 1: communicate with you, trying to say something important about the
Speaker 1: state you are in, about what you need, about what
Speaker 1: you have been through. The body never lies, but it
Speaker 1: does not judge either. Its simply presents you with the
Speaker 1: facts of your experience moment by moment, and waits to
Speaker 1: see if you will pay attention. And so the invitation
Speaker 1: here is to become a student of the body, to
Speaker 1: approach it with curiosity rather than criticism. Now I want
Speaker 1: to speak with you about the practice itself, about how
Speaker 1: you actually listen to yourself in a way that is sustainable.
Speaker 1: It does not require special equipment or particular knowledge or
Speaker 1: years of training. It requires only a willingness to be
Speaker 1: present with yourself, a willingness to sit with the discomfort
Speaker 1: of not knowing, a willingness to hear what is there
Speaker 1: without immediately trying to change it or fix it or
Speaker 1: understand it intellectually. The practice is simply this. You find
Speaker 1: a place where you will not be disturbed for a
Speaker 1: few minutes. You sate a few breaths, and let the
Speaker 1: body settle. It requires only a willingness to be present
Speaker 1: with yourself, a willingness to sit with the discomfort of
Speaker 1: not knowing, a willingness to hear what is to me
Speaker 1: in this moment. You might ask, what do I need
Speaker 1: right now? You might ask what is true for me
Speaker 1: in this moment? You might ask what feels alive in me?
Speaker 1: You might ask what does my body want me to know?
Speaker 1: And then you wait. You wait without rushing to fill
Speaker 1: the silence. You wait without just whatever arises youu late
Speaker 1: with the same patience you would offer a friend who
Speaker 1: was trying to find the words for something difficult. You
Speaker 1: let the answer come in its own time, in its
Speaker 1: own way. It may come as a word. It may
Speaker 1: come as an image. It may come as a sensation
Speaker 1: in the body, a tightness releasing, a warmth, spreading, a
Speaker 1: heaviness lifting. It may come as a memory. It may
Speaker 1: come as a feeling of not knowing, which is itself
Speaker 1: an answer? Which is itself important information? The key is
Speaker 1: that you stay present with the question. One of the
Speaker 1: most important things to understand about this practice and being
Speaker 1: obligated to act on every impult, every desire, every craving
Speaker 1: that arises the inner voice when you finally begin to
Speaker 1: hear it will not always tell you to do the
Speaker 1: easy thing or the comfortable thing. Sometimes it will tell
Speaker 1: you things that are inconvenient, frightening, seemingly impossible. Sometimes it
Speaker 1: will tell you to leave a situation. You are not
Speaker 1: ready to leave or to speak a truth. You are
Speaker 1: afraid to speak or to stop doing something that has
Speaker 1: become a habit or a comfort. And it is important
Speaker 1: to remember that hearing is not the same as obeying.
Speaker 1: Hearing is about receiving information obeying, and it is not
Speaker 1: what the inner voice is asking of you. The practice
Speaker 1: of listening does not remove your agency. It adds to it.
Speaker 1: It gives you more information, It gives you a richer
Speaker 1: relationship with yourself. You can hear something and still choose
Speaker 1: not to act on it. You can hear something and
Speaker 1: still take your time. You can hear something and still
Speaker 1: take your time. You can hear something and still consult others,
Speaker 1: still make a deliberate choice that takes into account. There
Speaker 1: is also something important to say about the contradictions you
Speaker 1: may find within yourself. When you begin to listen more deeply,
Speaker 1: you may find that you are both drawn to change
Speaker 1: and afraid of it, both hungry for connection and weary
Speaker 1: of it, both ready to rest and convinced that you
Speaker 1: should be doing more. This is not a sign that
Speaker 1: something is wrong with you. This is a sign that
Speaker 1: you are a complex human being with many dimensions. Many needs,
Speaker 1: many histories. The practice of listening is not about resolving
Speaker 1: these contradictions into a single, clear direction. It is about
Speaker 1: holding them both, about making room for the complexity, about
Speaker 1: understanding that conflicting desires can coexist and that you do
Speaker 1: not have to choose between them prematurely. Sometimes there is
Speaker 1: another aspect of listening that I want to speak with
Speaker 1: you about things that you have been distracting yourself from.
Speaker 1: Things that you have been distracting yourself from, things that
Speaker 1: you have been too busy to notice. These may be
Speaker 1: old griefs, losses that were never fully mourned, relationships that
Speaker 1: ended without closure, dreams that were abandoned, versions of yourself
Speaker 1: that you never got to become. These may be shames,
Speaker 1: fears about the future, fears about being truly seen, Fears
Speaker 1: about what would happen if you stopped performing and started being.
Speaker 1: These may be shames, the deep sense that there are
Speaker 1: something fundamentally wrong with you, something that must be hidden,
Speaker 1: something that must be fixed before anyone can truly know you.
Speaker 1: These may be angers, angers that were not safe to feel.
Speaker 1: Davor I've been keeping to see you. He feels math,
Speaker 1: something that must be hidden, something that must be fixed,
Speaker 1: the reasons that the noise becomes necessary, the reasons that
Speaker 1: we can offer to a child who was in pain.
Speaker 1: They are waiting to be integrated, to become part of
Speaker 1: the whole story of who you are, rather than the
Speaker 1: exiled chapters that you keep trying to pretend do not exist.
Speaker 1: When these hard things arise in the listening, the invitation
Speaker 1: is not to fix them, or solve them, or understand them.
Speaker 1: The invitation is simply to let them be there, to
Speaker 1: say to yourself, I hear you, I know you are there.
Speaker 1: I am not going to run away anymore. This is
Speaker 1: a radical act of self presence, a declaration that you
Speaker 1: are willing to be with all of yourself, not just
Speaker 1: the parts that are palatable, not just the parts that
Speaker 1: are acceptable, but all of it. And it may take time.
Speaker 1: It may take many sessions of sitting with the question
Speaker 1: and waiting for the answer. There may be days when
Speaker 1: you listen and hear only silence. There is also the
Speaker 1: listen to yourself. You may be surprised by what you find.
Speaker 1: You may find that there are things you love that
Speaker 1: you have been too embarrassed to admit. You may find
Speaker 1: that there are desires that are alive and meaningful, and
Speaker 1: alive and worth tending. You may find that there are
Speaker 1: desires that are alive and meaningful, and alive and worth tending.
Speaker 1: You may find that there are sires that are alive
Speaker 1: and meaningful, and alive and worth tending. You may find
Speaker 1: that you are more capable than you reflection, more resilient,
Speaker 1: more wise. These are not trivial discoveries. These are the
Speaker 1: things that make a life feel like your life, The
Speaker 1: things that remind you of who you are when you
Speaker 1: have been lost for so long in the exportations and
Speaker 1: demands of others, that what you really want is not
Speaker 1: more but different, not faster but deeper. These are not
Speaker 1: trivial discoveries. These are the things that make a life
Speaker 1: feel like your life, the things that remind you of
Speaker 1: who you are when you have been lost for so
Speaker 1: long in the expectations and demands of others. So as
Speaker 1: you practice listening, make room for the good as well
Speaker 1: as the heart. Ask yourself, what brings me joy? What
Speaker 1: do I love about this life? The things that making
Speaker 1: it life feel like your life, The things that remind
Speaker 1: you of who you are when you have been lost
Speaker 1: for so long in the expectations and demands of others. Now,
Speaker 1: I want to speak with you about trusting what you hear,
Speaker 1: because this is where the practice becomes truly tensformative, and
Speaker 1: also where it becomes most challenging, and the immediate reaction,
Speaker 1: the habitual reaction, may be to doubt them, to question them,
Speaker 1: to seek external confirmation before you allow yourself to believe them.
Speaker 1: You may give attention to how do I know this
Speaker 1: is real? How do I know I am not making
Speaker 1: this up? How do I know this is not just
Speaker 1: wishful considering or self deception. These are reasonable questions, and
Speaker 1: I do not want to dismiss them entirely. But I
Speaker 1: also want to say that the only way to build
Speaker 1: trust with yourself is to start where you are and practice.
Speaker 1: You practice hearing your inner voice, and then you practice
Speaker 1: believing it, not because it is always right, but because
Speaker 1: the relationship itself is what matters. You would not expect
Speaker 1: to trust a friend you never spend time with. You
Speaker 1: would not expect to understand a language you never practice. Oh,
Speaker 1: we could see. You may have made a choice that
Speaker 1: felt true, even if it was difficult, And you may
Speaker 1: have discovered that you survived, that you grew, that you
Speaker 1: learn something valuable from the experience. The trust does not
Speaker 1: come all at once. It builds slowly, like a muscle,
Speaker 1: like a practice, like a relationship that deepens over time.
Speaker 1: There will be moments when you hear something and you
Speaker 1: do not act on it, and that is okay too.
Speaker 1: The inner voice is not an oracle, It is not infallible.
Speaker 1: It is simply yours. It is the voice of your
Speaker 1: own experience, your own wisdom, your own hard won knowledge
Speaker 1: of what it is like to be you in this
Speaker 1: particular body, in this particular life. And that voice deserves
Speaker 1: to be heard, deserves to be trusted. I am going
Speaker 1: to invite you now to a longer pause, a pause
Speaker 1: in which we let the body catch up with everything
Speaker 1: we have been exploring together. So far, we have been talking,
Speaker 1: and I hope that what I have offered has been helpful,
Speaker 1: has been a kind of companionship on this journey of
Speaker 1: learning to listen to yourself. But words can only take
Speaker 1: you so far. The real work, the real transformation, happens
Speaker 1: in the body, in the stillness, in the space where
Speaker 1: the imagining mind finally rests and something else has room
Speaker 1: to be known. So let us move into that space now.
Speaker 1: Let us move into a body led meditation, a long
Speaker 1: pause in which you simply breathe, you simply feel, you
Speaker 1: simply are. Let your attention come down from the thoughts
Speaker 1: and the words and the ideas, and let it come
Speaker 1: into the body. Let the body be where you are,
Speaker 1: Let the body be enough. Begin to notice the breath again,
Speaker 1: the breath that has been with you this entire time,
Speaker 1: the breath that does not require your attention, but welcomes
Speaker 1: it when it arrives. Let the breath be natural, Let
Speaker 1: it be easy. Do not try to control it or
Speaker 1: change it in any way. Simply let it flow in
Speaker 1: and out the way it knows how to do, the
Speaker 1: way it has always done. With each exhale, let there
Speaker 1: be a little more softening in the body. Let the
Speaker 1: arms hang loosely, or let them rest their sides. Let
Speaker 1: the body be held by the chair, or the floor,
Speaker 1: or the bed, whatever is beneath you. Let yourself be held.
Speaker 1: Now I want you to bring your attention to your hands.
Speaker 1: Notice your hands, These hands that have done so much,
Speaker 1: that have worked and touched and held and reached and gestured,
Speaker 1: and lack go These hands that have been clenched and open,
Speaker 1: that have held tools, and held people, and held yourselves
Speaker 1: in the dark. Notice if there is any tension in
Speaker 1: the hands. Notice if the fingers are curled or straight.
Speaker 1: Notice the temperature of the hands, the weight of them.
Speaker 1: And as you notice, let there be a small intentional release,
Speaker 1: a letting go of anything the hands have been holding onto.
Speaker 1: Let the shoulders soften, let them drop down the back,
Speaker 1: away from the ears. Let there be space in the
Speaker 1: neck space between the vertebrae space for the breath to
Speaker 1: move freely. Let there be space in the neck space
Speaker 1: between the vertebrae space for the breath to move freely.
Speaker 1: Let there be space in the neck space between the
Speaker 1: vertebrae space for the breath to move freely. Let there
Speaker 1: be space in the naf space between the vertebrae space
Speaker 1: for the breath to move freely. You only have to
Speaker 1: give yourself permission to rest in this moment, in this body,
Speaker 1: in this breath. Then they love to see yourself permission
Speaker 1: in the facts. Let the chest fupparay slightly, Let the
Speaker 1: lips be soft, Let the tongue rest. Let there be
Speaker 1: no tension in the face. Let the eyes be closed
Speaker 1: or soft, not focusing on anything, Not trying to see anything,
Speaker 1: simply being simply resting. Stay with this for a few
Speaker 1: more breaths, day with the body, stay with the softness,
Speaker 1: stay with the release. There's nothing to achieve here, There's
Speaker 1: nowhere else to be. There is only this moment, this breath,
Speaker 1: this body that is alive, that is here. That is enough.
Speaker 1: You do not have to be anything other than what
Speaker 1: you are. You do not have to have figured anything out,
Speaker 1: You do not have to have resolved anything. You only
Speaker 1: have to be here, breathing, present, listening, finally, listening to
Speaker 1: yourself with the same kindness you would offer to someone.
Speaker 1: You laugh when you are ready, when you feel complete.
Speaker 1: In the pause, you may begin to bring your attention
Speaker 1: back to the room, to the sounds around you, to
Speaker 1: the feeling of the body in the chair or on
Speaker 1: the floor. You may take a deeper breath, of fuller
Speaker 1: breath and let it go, And then you may open
Speaker 1: your eyes if they were closed, and return to your day,
Speaker 1: carrying with you this small seed of listening, this small
Speaker 1: practice of paying attention to the voice that has been
Speaker 1: speaking to you all along. Even a minute of true
Speaker 1: listening is valuable, Even a moment of turning toward yourself
Speaker 1: instead of a way is a gift. So wherever you
Speaker 1: go from here, whatever your day holds, I hope you
Speaker 1: will remember that you have an inner voice, that it
Speaker 1: is worth hearing, that it has been waiting for you,
Speaker 1: patient and faithful all this time. Thank you for being here,
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening. I will be here whenever you
Speaker 1: need to come back.
