Communication is a vital tool to the life experience; ineffective communication is the most frequent cause of lesson failure. The soul has chosen the lesson plan for the lifetime, providing blockage that prohibits effective communication with the self, as well as others. Communication can be silent or vocal, physical or emotional. Recognizing the self’s communication style is critical to the student upon the path to healing.
