Listening is a Powerful Form of Mindfulness

Listening is a Powerful Form of Mindfulness

Engaged listening is mindfulness.

I just finished teaching the first session of my 4 part listening lab. What a fine group of participants.

What really stood out for me is the mindful/meditative state that is required for us to listen fully to another person. Rather that focus on a mantra or breathing we focus on their content, emotion, and intention.

Powerful, careful, and engaged listening is a mindfulness practice that benefits both others and ourselves. I can't wait for next week!

If you are interested in future sessions of this exclusive online and interactive course leave a comment or direct message me and I will keep you posted about future courses.
