Ahhhhhh

Listening is one of the highest ways we not only honor others but honor ourselves.  By putting the outside world on hold and taking a moment to slow down, we honor our need to . . . just . . . be.

(And for those of you who think you can’t meditate, you just did.)

This month practice 2 kinds of listening: 

Listening to the space

Sit in a quiet place.  Silence potential interruptions - phones, computers, etc.  Close your eyes, breathe and listen.  Notice the noises around you; listen to and feel your breath.  Do this for any amount of time which feels comfortable. 

Do it at a stop light, on public transportation, before you go to bed, even on the toilet, anywhere will do. 

Listening to the space releases stress.  You reconnect with calm and focused energy. 

Listening to yourself

In last month’s blog, I wrote about listening to our inner expert, our intuition.  This month, practice listening to your inner expert. 

Prepare a question you want the answer to, especially one where you want to access your intuition.  For practice, use questions such as

What’s most important right now?

What do you want?

What do I want today?

(You may use the first person, I, or the second person, you, whichever works best.)

Sit in a quiet place, visualize sinking down into your solar plexus, the place just above your belly where your ribs separate.  If you want, place your hand there and listen.  Ask the question and then listen. 

I find it helpful to keep a journal nearby to record the experience. 

For 10 seconds, close your eyes, breathe and listen. 

Love and light,

Cindy
