Opening Centering

Listening through the body:

  • Track your own breathing. Is it shallow and quick, or measured

and relaxed?

  • Embody an open posture. Notice what your own body language

may be conveying?

  • Can you listen through your eyes? Your heart? Your skin?

Training Active Listening

With the person next to you, take 2 minutes to discuss: 1. How would you enter a conversation differently with a peer if you knew from the start that you didn’t need to accomplish, perform, master, or fix something for them? 2. What might feel different in your body and mind if you could just focus on the act of being present?
