Dear Hiro,
Thank you for your beautiful post on communication. Your words are often my travel guide that lead me to deeper understanding. My “mirror of communication” is constantly reflecting back what I need to see in all of my relationships… thank you for reminding me to look deep into my own eyes upon first reflection.

Very beautiful post. I especially appreciated the comments about how we treat our families. It’s good to remain mindful of quality of our connection and what keeps that in place. I also loved the poem in the last post. Beautiful!

Hiro, this is a beautiful, powerful and sensitive reply. I wonder if you would consider moving it front and center to a blog post of it’s own? It’s something I think many would benefit to hear at this time.

Checking in with myself frequently, not just at New Year’s or once a season, is something I’m working on right now. Thank you for this great post; I needed it. I just printed out this section and taped it up next to my desk:

“Your relationship with yourself is the basis for your relationship with everyone else in your life. Whatever the quality of your communication with yourself, it will be reflected in your communication with the people you are closest to.”

Dear Carolina,

When a catastrophe like the earthquake in Haiti strikes, it releases a torrent of suffering, fear, loss and grief into the energy field of the world. If you’re sensitive, you feel this within your own body as though these feelings were yours…and yet, they are not.

You can’t help anyone else when your own body is flooded with fear and pain. So your first responsibility is to gently release what is not yours, from your energy field. To return to the safe harbor of your own spirit.

From this place of inner calm and peace, you can then connect with all the benevolent, loving forces in creation–and there are many of them–to send blessings, healing, light, and love to the people of Haiti.

If you feel moved to more direct action, you can connect with relief agencies to offer your help. But the help that you give is best given when you first take care of your inner communication, to bring your own energy field into a state of balance and health.

Oh, lovely–to allow yourself to ask for what you really want is a powerful practice. Let us know how it unfolds, for you.

Thank you, dear Sally. It’s good to know that you’re taking care of yourself and making a safe place for all the voices of your heart to be heard, in your journal.

Emma, hooray for letting your writerly self speak! Once your creative energy has room to flow, those divisions between creative work and work-for-money melt away. Here’s to more wonders, brought to you by the power of communication! :-)

Hiro,

This is beautiful. You so brillantly explain how communication is more than words. Thank you! I will be passing this on.
