In an act of creation, there is a moment when the world falls silent. It is here, in this holy pause, that the sacred enters.

For most of my life, I have attended to these three practices — a trinity of presence that has shaped both my creative path and my way of being in our world:

Listen to the Silence—Enter the Silence—And become one with what I am creating or doing.

These are not just steps; they are doorways to another way of being. Each one draws me deeper into surrendering to the present moment — where spirit and matter weave together. Over the years, I’ve come to see that this process is also the key to truly being with people. Not just hearing them… but listening with the kind of presence that can be felt.

In a world vibrating with a digital cacophony and opinion-laden voices, the most radical act is no longer to speak, but to truly listen. Not listening with the mind’s impatience or the ego’s interruptions — but the deep listening that disarms the ego, stills the inner noise, and allows the other person to be fully received.

If the unseen realms kept a karmic measure, it wouldn’t be based on how many hours we sat in meditation, but on how many hearts were spent feeling fully heard. Because listening, in its most valid form, is meditation.

It is the discipline of presence — the art of letting another soul unfold without resistance.

The true alchemy is becoming one with all that is, another human being and discovering the extraordinary in that moment.

Heart to Heart, Elizabeth
