Deep Listening

To listen deeply, we must listen with all of our senses. We must also listen with our hearts wide open.

Listening requires silence in which we allow stories to emerge, stories that are felt.

_I see you, I hear you, I feel you._

We listen to these stories as if they are streams flowing by us, Sensing the Eddies that might indicate something below the surface. We then learn to note the eddy and, with Creative Curiosity, gently allow further emergence of deeper meaning with in it.

A practice of listening that holds ancient wisdom, what the Aboriginal people is Australia call 'dadirri' , where one is called to 'bend the knee'.

In the words of Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann, an Aboriginal senior elder:

>"Dadirri is inner, deep listening and quiet, still awareness. Dadirri recognises the deep spring that is inside us. We call on it and it calls to us.... When I experience dadirri, I am made whole again."

A practice that we now recognize stimulates the insular cortex in our brains, igniting motivation and our salience network, unleashing the potential of our Whole Mind.
