“Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.” -Khalil Gibran
When you read this, does it offer you a self-audit to how you really listen?
When we listen wholeheartedly we hear the emotion and what is not being expressed in word.
This quote was first introduced to me when I was becoming a certified yoga teacher in 2016.
The main reason I became a yoga teacher was to become a better listener, hone the mind body connection, increase my knowledge of breathing techniques, further hone my meditation practice and deepen my yoga practice.
Yoga by definition is science of the mind.
It really isn’t about the yoga mat, the postures, bending of your body, holding postures or breathing.
Yoga has helped me excel in equanimity. Having mental calmness and composure for all that I do.
I truly believe that this allows compassion and energy to intersect beautifully with leadership.
This is the gateway to heart-centered leadership.
When we know who we are —this is the gateway to being a true, effective, kind leader.
We are all energy.
Compassionate leadership IS part of being a heart-centered leader.
Yoga is very much like leadership. You can’t make any changes unless you show up and are willing to look at who you are first, be willing to unlearn, change, evolve and be a true role model.
