How Listening Can Change Your Life.

Divine Communication is Everywhere

“God is always communicating with us!” These words from a dear friend recently struck me as perfectly reflecting the essential message of my book Mystical Intimacy: every life experience, felt sense, and relationship serves as a source of guidance. Through listening, we receive and understand this guidance.

Our life experiences offer countless messages that reveal who we are, what we truly want and need, and what is naturally emerging in our lives. This guidance comes through multiple channels:

The body speaks through physical sensations, felt senses, injuries, and illness. Our relationships evoke emotions that stir deep longings, resurface past wounds, and provide us with profound experiences of partnership and belonging. Family dynamics bring us face-to-face with ancestral conditioning and karmic patterns, offering opportunities for growth and connection.

Listening to Life’s Subtle Messages

Everything in your inner and outer world forms a network of energy communication. By listening to this network, you can live a more fulfilling life.

Before you react, withdraw, evaluate, or judge yourself and others, countless energy messages flow through your body: an increased heart rate, tightness in your chest, a fleeting thought, an insistent emotion, or the flow of intuition. Visual stimuli, sounds, tastes, and even others’ words—like my friend’s sentiment—all contain guidance.

These experiences provide information you can tune into by slowing down to feel, sense, and truly listen. Real listening involves exploring the myriad sources of guidance in your life by paying particular attention to the subtle.

The Power of Subtle Listening

Subtlety often offers more insight than the obvious, yet these rich details can easily be overlooked without intentional listening. Someone once asked me, “How can I connect easily with some people but not with my own family members?”

Instead of focusing on listening techniques, I reflected on his profound yearning to connect with his family. What emerged wasn’t about methodology but his deep desire for intimate and harmonious family connections. This subtle yet powerful truth could have been easily overlooked without an attuned presence. Through deep listening, I could acknowledge and validate the heart of his longing.

The Sacred Space of Being Heard

People need to be heard, seen and understood at their core. This recognition goes far beyond acknowledging surface-level concerns or offering quick solutions. It’s about honouring the innate wisdom within each person—their natural capacity to find their own answers and navigate their path. When we truly listen, we become witnesses to another’s unfolding journey, creating a sacred space where their inner knowing can emerge.

At the heart of human experience lies our fundamental need for authentic connection. This yearning expresses itself as the desire to be truly recognized by another, to feel our existence matters, and to know our presence in the world has meaning. We seek to understand ourselves more deeply through relationships, to explore life’s profound questions about identity and purpose, and to experience the transformative power of being fully seen. When we create space for these deep human needs to be acknowledged, we open doorways to genuine intimacy and understanding.

Listening from the Heart and Soul

The art of listening became my saving grace during a conflict with my younger sister. She was extremely upset, believing I had fabricated something to control her life. For twenty minutes, I simply listened, echoing her words, welcoming her accusations, and neither deflecting nor making her feel wrong for her judgments or fears.

As I held this space, she gradually softened, becoming open to hearing me in return. When I finally expressed that her anger had frightened me, her surprise fostered a moment of genuine connection. If I had initially shielded myself from her anger or rushed to defend my actions, it would have only escalated her distress, further fracturing our relationship instead of creating the path to understanding that we found together.

Embracing Divine Transformation Through Listening

This experience taught me a profound truth: while listening can be challenging, especially when facing judgment, accusations, or unreasonable demands, it’s worth every moment of discomfort. The conflict that follows our initial reactions often causes more pain than the initial trigger.

You can alleviate conflict by consciously listening and reflecting on others’ communications without defensiveness, explanations, justifications, or opinions. Apply this same approach to yourself—slow down and pay attention to your whole experience.

Channeled Message

Masiandia: “There is a world of intolerance stealing away companionship – intolerance prevalent in politics, corporate business, schools and family homes. So much expectation, bitterness, and disappointment fill many lives, causing separation, greed and suffering. To compound this further, many seeking freedom find refuge in perfectionism and control, creating even more separation.

“Ultimate freedom is found in the Divine, which is all life as one cohesive act of forgiveness and faith. It’s about interconnection, not detachment.

“God is always communicating within you and into all areas of your life, like a river flowing through you. You are the channel for God—for the spark of your Divinity—the substance of what is holy and true. What better way to follow the path of freedom and eternal grace than to listen?

“It’s especially necessary to listen to what you don’t understand. When you let yourself not know, guidance comes flooding in. When you are empty, the Divine fills you to overflowing.”
