How to Deep Listen
Deep listening can serve as a standalone practice or be seamlessly integrated with other methods of self-exploration, including but not limited to psychotherapy, yoga, breathwork, meditation or psychedelic therapies.
In this section, we delve into the one key facet of deep listening: ‘how you listen’. Our definition of Deep Listening revolves around a shift in the listening attitude— a new way of listening, distinguished by the following key elements:
Maintaining an unwavering focus solely on the present musical experience is paramount. It entails a dedicated shift away from dwelling on the past or anticipating the future, instead fostering a presence and curiosity about the here and now—how the music unfolds and is experienced in this very moment.
Implementing an accepting and open mind-set involves a departure from the habit of labelling and judging the present experience as good or bad, instead embracing the experience as it is without the desire for it to be different.
Permitting your experience to flow, evolve, and synchronise with the music’s fluctuations. Allowing yourself to be moved and transported by its currents. Shifting from thinking to feeling, surrendering to the music’s unfolding journey and being carried along.
We want to underscore the experiential essence of our deep listening approach. Unlike meditation, we encourage active immersion into the music, wholeheartedly embracing impulses to express yourself—whether it’s shaking your body, shedding tears, sharing laughter, or any other genuine response.
Please note that within Wavepaths, deep listening sessions are usually complemented by pre-recorded guided meditations. These meditations are designed to help you embody the deep listening attitude defined here more fully as you embark on your listening journey.
