The art of listening with more than your ears is totally underrated when creating a safe space for co-regulation.
The ancient Chinese symbol for listening, ‘Ting’ captures the spirit of listening beautifully.
Listening with “Ting” makes you a universal listener - that is someone who is capable of absorbing the entire event: the underlying mood, tone and impact of the words within the conversation.
When you are tuned in by using all these elements: ears, king, mind, eyes, focus and heart, you will gain incredible insight into conversations you never thought possible.
As human beings, to be heard is one of the greatest gifts we can receive and give.
By listening with TING, you turn the focus away from yourself, and towards the other person.
You demonstrate the other person matters to you, that you are willing to put aside your own concerns for a while and give them your full, undivided attention.
