When we think of listening to someone or something, we often approach it in a fairly practical way.  There is sound and there is someone there to listen to it. Easy enough right? Yes and no.  At the most fundamental level we acknowledge how important it is to be able to hear, but what if the act of listening is something different? For example, when we are sitting with a friend and engaged in conversation, do we listen to their words or do we hear them?  How we answer this will largely depend on how present, aware and receptive we are to not only the world outside, but to ourselves.  Mindful listening starts with you.  Of course, this doesn’t mean to just sit and listen to the ongoing narrative we have going on in our mind at all times.     Mindful  listening is something different.  Mindful listening involves using silence, space and the presence of our environment as away ground the ego and illuminate the spirit within.  When we can practice listening to the subtle vibrations of our own awareness, and stay within that feeling, we eventually discover our own ability to observe the innocence and beauty in everything without the ego’s typical habit of narrating our experience.  When we can stop the chatter and unlock the heart, then we can begin listening to others in a way that is loving, receptive and most of all compassionate.  Let’s talk about the art of listening!   In this episode we discuss,    Jenn Gifts Eric A Main Coon Cat Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Room  Jenn’s trip to New Orleans Eric’s Experience With Hearing Loss Learning How To Listen Through Silence Mindful Listening Hearing vs. Listening  How To Listen When Alone How To Listen With Others Creating Boundaries Around Listening Listening’s Connection To Love   Full video episode on YouTube: Available 7/28  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrvbyvD7Tou6IQO_lL_LewQ   Divine Nobodies Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/divine.nobo...
