New Perspective: You have heard the consideration: "seek first to understand than to be understood." This speaks to so many different perspectives. My perspective, another's perspective, people and large, cultures, groups, etc. BUT FIRST, meditation. When we spend time in quiet reflection, we learn about ourselves and the more we spend time with self, we feel held, heard and acknowledged. Ironically, this expands our capacity to hear, see and acknowledge another. When others feel seen in our presence, they soften into a greater self-acceptance and thus authentic expression. It's no coincidence then, that this module focuses on the 4th chakra - Anahata or Heart Chakra. We can cultivate inner self-love which strengthens our muscles toward love of others.
