Invitations: Deep Listening and the Power of Intention

  1. Journal about the Love exercise we did today and consider setting an intention: for the day, for the week, even for your life. If it feels right, write it down, and carry it with you through the week, in both meditation and your daily activities. Allow yourself to revise or start over in whatever way feels most authentic for you.  You might find it helpful to read this brief essay on The Heart’s Intention by Jack Kornfield.
  2. Read Tara’s 8 Essential Tips for Practice and write out a brief plan for your practice going forward.
  3. When you find yourself in conversation this week, invite yourself to deepen your listening. If you would like to further explore deep listening, there are some resources here.
