✨ Master the Art of Talking Blessing: Day 2
Day 2: Listening as Wild Love
Listening is not neutral. The way we respond can seal a conversation with blessing—or ignite a battlefield. Talking with blessing means listening with the knowing that the other person is already full, enough, and worthy of acceptance. It means wanting to understand the person behind the spoken words, not just the words themselves.
πΏ Listening with Curiosity and Doubt
When we listen, our own inner thoughts may stir curiosity or doubt. Instead of suppressing them, we can ask questions that bless the conversation with honesty:
πͺ“I am curious to know what brought that on.”
πͺ“I have a doubt about what you just said…”
πͺ“Did you mean to say what you said?”
πͺ“Did I read that correctly?”
These questions are not attacks—they are invitations. They open space for clarity, for the other person to be seen more deeply, and sometimes for them to reconsider their words.
πΌ Responding as a Tour Guide
Not every conversation will be kind. Sometimes words carry cruelty, judgment, or ill intent. Even then, you can guide the exchange toward blessing. Think of yourself as a tour guide leading someone onto a new path:
✍πΌHighlight what they may not yet see.
⚡️Offer them a second chance to change their words or treatment.
✨Respond in a way that models presence, not performance.
πΈ Personal Practice
Yesterday, I had a conversation where someone chose words of verdict against me. Instead of battling, I responded:
“You can make assumptions of me in whatever way; however, I wouldn’t want to continue our conversation further from here on.”
That was my red light. I stopped the exchange without aggression, and I moved forward with my green light—like finishing a meal and leaving the table. This is listening as wild love: refusing to feed conflict, yet blessing yourself with clarity and exit.
✨ Reflection
Today, listen with curiosity and doubt. Ask one question that arises honestly from your inner thoughts. Notice how your response can either bless the conversation or redirect it toward peace.
πΈ Closing Blessing
“May your listening be spacious, may your questions be kind, and may your responses guide toward blessing.”
