The Sacred Art of Listening

'Hearing and listening are two different things.
Learning to listen - really listen - requires sacred practice.'

More than ever before we need to embrace the skills and practices of sacred listening. Kay Lindahl, founder of The Listening Center in Laguna Niguel, California, guides us through forty practices of sacred listening - to ourselves, to each other and to our Source - and shows us how the art of true listening releases a creative force that can transform relationships.

In this book we learn to
- Speak and listen from our heart
- Communicate with courage and compassion
- Heighten our awareness and sensitivity to opportunities for deep listening
- Enhance our ability to listen to people with different belief systems


'This is a truly beautiful book, and a powerful one - opening us in an effective and practical way to wondrous new depths of human living. So much in so few pages, true wisdom.'
- M. Basil Pennington, OCSO, author of Centering Prayer


'This elegantly profound book will help lead us to a more enlightened time when the listening ear, not the penetrating eye, will be our primary symbol of understanding. The Sacred Art of Listening will help us create harmony within ourselves as well as with all around us.'
- Brooke Medicine Eagle, author of Buffalo Woman Comes Singing and The Last Ghost Dance
