Key Practice 2: the A-B-C of Relating 0/5
This practice supports us in resting with both ourselves and others when relating, and connect heart to heart in any situation that may occur. We live in a world where many of us focus more on getting heard and on offering our well-intended comments and advice, and spend less time, energy and focus on truly listening to ourselves and others. When we focus most of our energy on being understood and heard by others, we tend to totally forget or be superficial in our listening. We then tend to listen more to our thoughts and interpretations of what the other is saying rather than to be really there for what is alive in the other in this moment. This practice is an invitation to become a listener.

BONUS: The practise of Reframing 0/7
Problems don´t exist in the world, but in our minds A problem exists in our mind, as an interpretation of our situation or our experience. Problems come into existence through negative thinking about our situation and our experiences. A problem is seeing a situation or an experience in the light of what is wrong and bad about it. An issue thought about as a problem perpetuates the issue as a problem.

Step 1: Describe the Problem
Describe something you see as a problem, using pen and paper, or share with a friend. Use this sentence: ´It is a problem for me that …. because …. ´
Make sure that in describing the situation, you remain as factual and objective as possible, not mixing in your judgments.
Also make sure you are clear about WHY you consider this particular state of affairs a problem. This may take some serious exploration into understanding what is REALLY the problem for you in this.
