A good listener

If I had to recall one of the many things my mother always told me that would be: JUST LISTEN!!!!

I always thought I was listening, in fact I listened to her so well that I would argue back, mom, I am listening but you are not listening to me.

The truth is I heard what she said, but If I could have enough wisdom to listen to her, I would have known that what she really was craving for in her life was attention and love.

Of course I couldn't learn to listen from my family because all of them were shouting to be listened, and If I open the view and see outside, in many big cities like Mexico city, everything you have around is only noise.

I was so fascinated by noise, that I made my final dissertation at University based on noise.

I had no clue how to organize my thoughts about it, but now I see what I really wanted to understand is what is inside noise. I was sure that If I could learn to see/hear through noise, I would be able to hear a lot of hidden messages or what I call now META-MESSAGES.

Today I am still training how to listen, there is so much to listen in so many levels and noise only encourages me to dig deeper :P

Massage is a great practice for listening. For me the best massages I have received have been from people who are good at listening.
