Deep Listening is expanding our attention. In Deep Listening we talk about two forms: focal attention and global attention. Focus [focall is more like digital, in that focused attention needs to be renewed moment by moment, in order to exclusively follow a stream of some sort. A stream of speech for example; you have to keep renewing your attention to what is being said. All of us have the experience of being distracted for a minute and missing part of what someone has said. So, to keep your attention focused takes quite a bit of energy. Global attention is expanding to take in and listen to everything that is around you; inside of you. When we do this, and we can expand almost infinitely to include, and this is what I call inclusive listening, everything that is possible to listen to. Most of the time we are discarding what's going on as not important, but in order to do what I call Deep Listening we have to include everything.
Others want to hear from you, so why not share your thoughts ☁️
