Conscious Open Communication
Lately, I have been pondering about conscious open communication. Realizing the importance of creating a safe, non-judgmental, and lighthearted space for the ones I love and people I intent to have a productive conversation with. As I’ve matured, learning the grace of not needing to be right and rather choosing to be love has been challenging. It required putting my ego aside and choosing love. There is no bypass, because love usually can be felt through the tone of our voices and the energy we consciously and unconsciously release.
In the past, I can relate with needing to be defensive, reactive, and mask my insecurities through the disguise of anger. These are all of the things I’ve learned to let go of, for they are no longer serving my growth. As I began the journey and commitment to improve my communication skills, my relationships ultimately improved. I started to identify my triggers, paused to reflect, and learned to self-soothe. Having the ability to compassionately reset when I’ve taken steps that don’t feel good and take steps that feel more constructive is everything. Asking for help, releasing shame, and letting go of pride is pivotal to creating authentic power in communication. The goal is to have an open mindset, not a fixed mindset, and allow the school of life to inspire compassionate listening.
Forgiveness is another component that is important to conscious open communication. Leaning in the direction of love rather than fear. Being lighter, more playful, and kind when feeling hurt is powerful in the art of forgiveness.
Communication that comes from an authentic place unleashes the soul through the throat chakra emitting bountiful light. I hope my contemplations towards communication will inspire you to walk the path of love and speak from the heart. Know that to be heard, seen, and understood is similar to feeling a warm welcoming embrace when it comes to conscious open communication. Give this presence to another person when you are communicating with them.
