When it comes to verbal expression the body and emotions are woefully inept—they’re accustomed to keeping quiet. So when they do speak out—however awkwardly”pay attention. Listen. Trust there’s something being said that your logical mind didn’t notice or can’t address. But something you need to be aware of, nonetheless.

Respect the sincerity of what’s being expressed, however illogically. Don’t attempt to turn it off. Listen beyond the words, for the underlying message. Muzzle the smooth-talking logical point of view that’s eager to edit or correct. Consider the blubbered or yammered information relevant, since there’s a core of truth
in it—truth that would be so easy to ignore.

It takes courage to let yourself blubber or yammer. It takes even more courage to listen and respect the perplexing message. Yet you’ll be amazed by what you’ll discover about yourself on those channels you’ve assumed carried only gibberish or static.

Tune it in, don’t tune it out.
