what does listening feel like?
i heard someone say the other day
that
listening is more of a brain activity than ear.
hmmm.
interesting, right?
then i thought about my listening skills.
i can hear things that others cannot
<really, they don’t realize that they can :D>
and i wonder how different my listening is.
for as long as i can remember
i have been able to clear my mind of clutter.
for many years
i did not understand why others could not.
maybe its one of my super powers??
makes sense now that i like to guide people OUT of the brain space
and IN to new belief systems.
what does listening feel like?
this was the question at the bottom of the page of my Desire Map Daily Planner today.
check out the Desire Map. it freaking rocks!
so i pondered.
what DOES listening feel like?
for me
when i drop in to deep listening
my body calms
and
my senses awaken.
it’s like i’m listening with all of my cells.
when i really listen
i feel my energy expand out to touch
whatever i am listening to or for.
i feel myself mingle with it
like a snake’s tongue.
feel it.
what does listening feel like?
it feels like plugging in to my surroundings
and
unplugging from my mind.
if listening IS a brain activity
it feels more like brain receptivity.
clear from storms of doubt. fear. restlessness.
open to possibility
and
connection.
what does listening feel like?
it feels like my ear in a conch shell.
opening my eyes under water.
merging with the earth as i bask in the sun.
sitting quietly with nature busy all around me.
what does it feel like to you?
do you really hear what your life is saying?
what your body is saying?
what your heart is saying?
do you hear the language of nature?
the twinkle of the stars?
the conversation between bees?
what does listening feel like?
deep listening IS a feeling.
deep listening is felt thru-out the entire body
and
beyond.
felt in the subtle field around us.
felt in our heart and in our breath.
what does listening feel like?
allow yourself to feel it.
allow yourself to explore it.
allow yourself to sink deeply into the realm of deep listening
and open to the layers of your experience
that you didn’t know existed
until now….
