Learning to speak with intention

Cultivating Awareness through Spoken Word

Speaking with intention nurtures co-operation and connection

Learning to Learn through the experience of spoken word

Part one:

The Pattern

Learning to speak honestly cultivates awareness of how to identify the intention in the brains thought patterns to cultivate self-connection prior to spoken word action. Spoken words stimulate the environment of reactions in one’s thinking and interactions with others. One learns that pausing to connect to the intention before spoken word is a personal choice that leads to different outcomes. Choosing intention in speaking and thinking cultivates understanding and new experiences of being heard. Continuing a pattern of speaking randomly while in reaction leads to conflict, disconnection and dishonesty.

The focus is to expand the awareness of the stimulus of spoken word and go beyond its restrictions in habitual ways of speaking.
