CHAPTER

Listening Meditation

The human ear evolved to hear within a certain range between 20,000 vibrations per second. The ability of our distant ancestors as nobanic tribespeople to be able to hear faint birdsong guided them as a sonic beacon towards prosperity and we are here today. Gordon will sit for hours, perfectly still, just letting the sound wash over him. It's a sort of listening meditation that sometimes reveals surprising things. We learn about hearing loss and find out what we can all become better listeners after the break.
