3 Levels of Listening - Yogi Explains

Summary

, 11 min

Three levels of listening: talking over others, the quick back-and-forth among friends, and taking in someone's whole train of thought until "the caboose" arrives. The third level deepens relationships. In meditation, it becomes simply listening to the four proofs, tranquil breath and freeze response in the after-effect poise state.
