Do you remember when you first learned to read?
When all of a sudden, a whole new world opened up, and you were able to delve into adventures and mysteries unavailable before?
For me, it was the difference between feeling trapped in a small village in the Black Forest of Germany and traveling to faraway countries, from making fascinating new friends to experiencing strange new cultures.
In my books, I met an orphan boy who lived somewhere in the vast expanse that I knew to be the U.S.A. He dug holes in the ground and roasted small animals that he had hunted. One day, he barely escaped a Skunk, which I learned could douse you in a stench that lasted for days.
Reading not only introduced me to new possibilities, it also set the stage for what I wanted from life and changed the way I walked my path forever.
Something similar happens when you first learn how to read a person’s aliveness.
All of a sudden, your perception of the world — and the people in it — changes. Instead of relying only on the spoken word when listening to someone, you begin to read between the lines and notice clues that you didn’t perceive before. Your depth of awareness increases, and you begin to understand people’s true desires.
The art of reading aliveness gives you insight
into a person’s purpose, desires, and dreams.
Why Is This Important?
Imagine you are a parent trying to help your child make an important decision about her future.
What if you could read her innate intelligence and understand your child on a deep level? Rather than trying to figure out conceptually what might be best for her?
It’s the difference between telling your child what she should do and guiding her to discover what’s truly in her heart.
Or, imagine giving a lecture.
Have you ever gotten so wrapped up in your speech — trying to remember your lines — that you lost your audience in the process?
Being able to tune into a group of listeners allows you to stay connected and keep your message alive and responsive to the moment.
The ability to read aliveness is a profound service. It enables you to support people in discovering — and following — their dreams.
Learning the craft is surprisingly simple.
All it takes is to listen with your heart and your senses, instead of only with your ears and your mind.
Once you recognize the difference, all you have to do is practice.
Next time you speak with someone, pause for a moment and ask yourself: what is truly alive in this person right now?
You might be surprised by what you notice.
And if this idea resonates with you, feel free to reach out. I always enjoy hearing from readers who are exploring their own path toward a more alive life.
As always, thank you for reading.
