Heart-Centered communication is opening a bridge between your heart and the heart of another.

Listening involves hearing the other person's heart, not just their words; seeing with more than just your eyeballs; putting yourself in another's shoes; understanding; empathy.

Practice listening without judgment. We all have different paths and different ways of getting to the truth. Yet we all need Love and tenderness and acceptance. Give what you would like to receive, not with expectation or manipulation, but because it's the right thing to do.

Communication is about revealing yourself, your true self, to another and creating a safe and accepting space for them to do the same.

ALL relationships grow with communication. This includes your relationship with the Source of all Life, with your Self, with the Earth.

The closer you grow to Spirit, the closer you grow to your own deeper Self, the closer you can grow to others.

You can't truly say, "I love you," until you know the meaning of all three words.

The more you love yourself, the more you can love others. The more kind you are to yourself, the kinder you will be with others. The more honest you become with yourself, the more you can be honest with others. The more you forgive and accept yourself, the more you can forgive and accept others. The more you learn to listen to your own heart, the easier it will be for you to hear the hearts of others. Be a good friend to yourself, and you will find that you have learned how to be a good friend to others.

Any gift given with the expectation of a payback isn't really a gift of love at all. It's bartering.

People are mirrors.

Keeping your mouth shut is NOT kind. It's hiding. Speak the truth in love. ("I feel... I think...")

People hear what you don't say, but they're much more likely to misunderstand or misinterpret your unspoken words and be hurt by their own misinterpretation. Kindness demands that you tell the truth.

The underlying truth of a situation is almost always the same for both people. Ask questions.

Tell the truth faster.

Conversation comes from the head. Communication comes from the heart.

There is no place that Love is not. Therefore, we can always tap into Love at any given moment, in any situation .
