Receive enough information before deciding what it means.
Listening and Sensitivity is the ability to detect, distinguish and interpret subtle changes, in your own body, in the environment and in other people, before committing to a response. Action depends on information, yet people often move from expectation, tension or premature interpretation rather than what is actually present. In practice, this looks like pushing before feeling a partner's direction; in life, like replying before truly listening, or naming an emotion before noticing the sensation underneath it.
For a newcomer, it begins with receiving before acting: feeling your feet, feeling before thinking, working with light contact so information isn't crushed before interpretation, and listening fully before speaking.
For practitioners, it becomes fine discrimination, reading force and direction, timing and space, separating signal from noise, and staying comfortable with uncertainty rather than guessing. It is not pre-emptive nor reacting to every signal.
In daily life, the same capability appears as attunement: sensing shifts earlier, telling a sensation apart from the narrative that might have been constructed around it, and staying aware of yourself and another person at the same time.
