- Ever spoken to someone who isn't really listening?
- Ever started a conversation and you can just sense your partner is more interested in saying what he/she wants to say without regard to your input?
We've all been there.
It's not a great feeling to waste your breath and effort when you just know it's falling upon deaf ears or when you're just not being ‘heard'. Sometimes we feel like we're in the firing range of someone's motor-mouth and you're being spoken ‘at' and not ‘to'!
Wits End Meets Heart Opening
I'm afraid I'm losing my patience with people who are talking to me with their ‘heads'.
What do I mean?
You're being spoken at by a person who is only interested in getting their logical perspective across irrespective of what their heart is trying to express. It's kind of a heart bypass that shoots straight to the thought process.
When we communicate with our hearts we first open a space for dialogue to begin. A dialogue that is receptive as well as giving — where you give a person a chance to speak and they reciprocate.

How Do I Begin Heart Dialogue?
Firstly, you need to drop into your heart space (where your physical heart resides).
Your heart emits a frequency that can be measured (in fact, its electromagnetic field is 500 times stronger than that of the brain) and when 2 or more people are communicating through this frequency, you will have a better chance of clear, pure, flowing, integral dialogue.
“Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye” — H. Jackson Brown, Jnr
Your quality of conversation is going to be better because you are not only conversing with language and emotion but with feeling too. The other person is going to connect with your field and be ‘in tune', so to speak, with you. So, it's more likely that any deception will be picked up by that innate part of you that can hone in on these things.

Secondly, when you communicate from your heart, you open yourself up to a more truthful, no-bullsh*t kind of conversation (you know — the ones worth having!).
Your words will flow with more ease and fluidity.
When you trust that what needs to be said will be said, you have no need to rush your words. Have you noticed how most spiritual teachers speak very slowly and with great distinctness? You will, most likely, be guided to say what needs to be said without having to beat around the bush, flounder or hog the floor unnecessarily.
Straight From the Horses Mouth
I was having a conversation the other day and what would have taken me half an hour to explain just drifted calmly out of my mouth in about 3 sentences. They were succinct, truthful and to the point. No waffling.
It was great!
I haven't been particularly loquacious these past few months and have been feeling very foggy and scrambled in the head of late (ditsy blonde that I am!) but more frequently I am finding the right words at the right time.
Either that or I end up grinning like a Cheshire cat or expressing myself through interpretive dance.
I'm really rooting for full-on telepathic communication in the not-so-distant future. Truth be told, I've already begun to experience this kind of connection and I can't wait for it to go mainstream!
I hope you will start to have more meaningful, inspiring tête-à-têtes in your NOW moments.

I respect those who tell the truth no matter how hard it may be. Integrity is everything. <3
Absolutely!
Speaking from the heart is something that has been a part of me since I was a little girl. It is the best way to walk your path.
I couldn’t agree more <3
Me too ???❤️❤️
Great post, CRD. Yeah, communicate thru your heart, not with your head.
Glad you enjoyed it, Jeff <3
My kinda talk!!! <3
😉 <3
I would rather not talk at all…than to have someone dumping all their issues with others on me. It is completely exhausting for me and I have learned to take better care of myself these days! I cherish my “heart talking” kids and their partners more every time we get together.
I’m with you there, Mary! xxx
Thats it no need jabber ?
Indeed! It stops us from listening and learning.

The heart talk is the most intimate thing one can have with another… When u open up your soul to another and vice versa…it’s the most naked you can ever be
I couldn’t agree more, Rajeev!
