Just Listen

Just listening brings you immediately into the present moment, freeing your mind from thoughts. It is the purest meditation practice, already built into the temple of your body.

In pure listening, past and future vanish.

Early in the morning, listen for the faintest furthest sound. Let your attention expand to the horizon of hearing. Let the vanishing of the bird's song lead you into deeper silence. Let each sound that arises be an invitation to the silence that follows.
