Communication involves not only spoken words but also a variety of unspoken messages. In this episode, we explore the importance of understanding the things that are left unsaid. Our ability to perceive these non-verbal messages is called attunement. Just as a tuning fork helps adjust a musical instrument, we need to attune ourselves to what others are communicating on a deeper level. By attuning to body language, emotions, behavioral patterns, and relational cues, we can understand far more than what is being explicitly communicated. This leads to those around us feeling more understood and loved.
