Deep Listening As Awareness Practice

Grace Fisher

We live with a dominant culture that does not value listening. Listening is not a class that’s generally offered in elementary school, high school or college. And it’s rarely taught to graduate students in the fields of medicine, law, business or psychology — fields that arguably rest upon an individual’s ability to listen to others. Listening has become an almost radical act — a stand against the barrage of superficial noise and fixed views.

Dreaming Thoughts of Peace

Grace Fisher

Where are we dwelling? Where do we allow our thoughts to dwell? In order to be able to trust in the expansive qualities of the mind, even to imagine the expansive qualities of our own mind, requires a certain amount of faith and courage. It’s new terrain for those of us that might be really good at worrying, planning, and being anxious. Imagining a mind at ease, a unified, clear mind—how do we open to that possibility? Courage in practice is trusting the capacity of our own heart, our own goodness, as a place of rest and refuge.

There Is No House Like the House of Belonging

Grace Fisher

This practice is moment to moment. It’s not “one day I’ll get enlightened, one day I’ll stop worrying.” It’s this moment right here. We have a moment where the mind feels still. So sweet, right? And we start trusting our own capacity to still the mind, which is a remarkable gift of this practice, because in that place of stillness, we can rest. That’s home base. Otherwise, we’re running away from the voices that tell us what’s wrong with us, or we’re running towards something, hoping that when we get there, it’ll be better. When we’re in a place of stillness, we stop running. Here, in this moment. This breath in, this breath out, this opening of the heart, this closing of the heart.
