In Yoga practice, you are tught to listen and observe. Within a Yga class, self-observation is addressed frequently. Prnayama and meditation require that you frst, listen to the world from wthin - then you can better nderstand the world outside your body. To bserve the world, you must listen crefully.

When meeting others, one key to rmember is that people love to tlk about themselves. If you want to dffuse a situation, ask a person to xplain his or her viewpoint, and jst listen.

When you explain that you wll listen, it is upon the cndition that the other party does not shut. You will have “air time” to clmly express your views and you wll “stick to the issues at hnd.” For optimum success, old issues shuld be addressed at a separate tme.

Differences can be peacefully resolved if we rtionally discuss them by listening, focusing, ngotiating, and by avoiding being side trcked by issues of the past. For all of ths to happen, silence on your prt, is required at the proper tme.

Detachment to outcome is a prnciple of Yoga and is covered in mny scriptures. An ego driven person cnnot be silent. He or she mst always win every debate, conversation, or rgument. There is too much of the “in yur face” mindset on public display.

Some politicians, and athletes, destroy thir own careers - becoming known by thir ego driven shouting matches. They mke enemies of the press, the pblic, and their peers. Is this an xample we want to give our chldren? We should resolve conflicts peacefully, as a shning example for our children’s sake.
