Hearing

The Ears must listen in all directions. Directions for this post are not just north, south, east, and west. Directions are multi-dimensional for both the physical world and the esoteric one.

There are so many benefits when you study something with a mind aware of the possibilities. In the last terse tome of the ken-po goku-i it states, "The ears must listen in all directions."

When you connect this with the system's symbol, i.e. the Isshinryu no megami, you find that the Goddess represents being alert and listens attentively. There are no restrictions or set definitions as to what this means yet if you really do the research you find that listening attentively has many benefits.

Research has proven that talking, emotionally or innocuously, results in unhealthy effects while "actively listening" provides many healthy ones. One causes increases in blood pressure while the other lowers it.

To actively listen provides healthful benefits that extend into martial arts where such active listening keeps you calm and breathing properly for a stable and alert mind allowing you to perceive what is needed to avoid-deescalate confrontations.

Seems like a win-win situation ... make it your effort to actively listen and leave the talking to the bare minimum.
