Today’s Excerpt:
Stop for a moment: How many things can you hear right now?
Try this simple listening meditation:
- Sit as comfortably and still as you can. Take 3 breaths.
- Listen to the outside world. How many different sounds can you hear that are near and far away?
- Now listen to the inside of your own body. Can you hear the sounds inside, like your heart beating, the sound of breathing, or the sound of your swallowing?
- Notice how you feel afterward. Is there any difference before and after?
