Dear %$firstname$%,
Have you ever been in a conversation or relationship where you gave up expressing yourself because the person you were talking with was simply not present with you, but rather just there for themselves? That is the subject of today's I Listen to Spirit Blog: "Expressing Oneself in Dialogue." Dear Guides, Some people over-express their stories and needs to the point of dominating conversations or relationships. Others hold back and under-express their stories and needs. What are some ways to create a healthy balance in terms of both giving and receiving within a dialogue or a relationship? We got a fascinating answer indeed. Click to the blog. I always want to give you a little more for being part of Beauty & Spirit. Here is more of the channeling from the longer "Dear Guides" Journal version of the I Listen to Spirit blog, channeled by Minda Bernstein. 
"Those of you who feel it is more "polite" to hold back and leave the others plenty of space to express, and those of you who are shy and reserved and don't really dare to display their colors to the others, you can know that these choices are fine choices, but on a certain level, most souls choose to engage in the creation of new expression on Earth, which requires that you enter into relationships and engage with others. . . . "It is through these brushings with each other that you test out and hone your skills in the school you have chosen for your life. And also it is the play date you reserved in coming here. Many of you said, "I want to play this game," one in which you experiment with balances of all kinds. There are inner balances, choices to be made on so many levels. But one which is pretty prevalent across a person's lifetime is the social one. "How do you interact with others? Do you play with your full intention? Are you present to the possibilities that are just waiting to explode and multiply when two or more gather and mix their energies in the creation of ideas, thoughts, emotions, projects, goals, visions?"
