MM: Recording and Listening
from The Middle Way with Dr. Matthew Goodman Hosted by Matthew Goodman, PhD
"Recording and Listening is, hands down, the most powerful tool for ending suffering I’ve found." - Cheri Huber, Zen Teacher Recording and Listening practice:* 1. Grab a recorder (usually, your phone will have a recording app). 2. Think about something that is bothering you. Hold your recorder in one hand. Record your problem. Take your time and explain it however you'd like. 3. Now, using the other hand, play your problem back to yourself. Try to listen as if you were listening to a friend or loved one. 4. Now, keeping the recorder in that same hand, record a response to the problem. Tap into your "inner mentor." What kind words would you say to someone else? How would you comfort and encourage them? 5. Now, listen back to the "inner mentor" recording to receive your inner wisdom. *Adapted from Cheri Huber and Living Compassion. http://www.recordingandlistening.org/ Follow Dr. Goodman: Instagram: @matthewgoodmanphd Book: Simple Stress-Reduction: Easy and Effective Practices for Kids, Teens, and Adults (Amazon) The Middle Way Consulting: the-middle-way.com Take a Improv + Mindfulness Course or FREE Workshop!: https://www.the-middle-way.com/mindfulness-improv Your support for the show helps!
