Ep. 10: Listening

from Curious Hearts Hosted by Vera Lester

Listening is as sacred a spiritual practice as anything else I know. It gives us a framework for how to witness the world without needing to act immediately, training us to be responsive and not reactive. It’s also a direct portal into deep appreciation of everything that already here for us — you’ll never be bored again. Listening practice is one of the ways we train ourselves to be “more sensitive, but less affected.” And it is the essential skill for deep relationships; with ourselves, our loves, and the mystery. 00:00 — Welcome and Why Listening is Powerful 20:40 — Skip to Practice 30:57 — Reflection on the Practice 39:49 — Bonus: City Park Soundscape Once you get the hang of this practice, it’s a friend you can rely on anytime, and anywhere. Let me know how it goes for you — and as always, if I can be of service, shoot me a message or visit me at www.veralester.com. #Listening #ListeningPractice #SpiritualPractice #DeeperConnection #Mindfulness #CuriousHearts This is a public episode.
