Navigating Pure Hearing and Distraction

Maintaining focus on pure hearing can often be challenging, as distractions from thoughts and emotions can easily disrupt this state. When engaging with sense fields, it is crucial to keep attention anchored in the senses rather than getting drawn into mental distractions or emotional narratives. Emotions such as anger or fear may surface during this practice, and experiencing these feelings is a normal response as one navigates through barriers of perception. Through consistent practice, individuals can learn to hear sounds—like a guiding voice—without suppressing thoughts, thus enhancing their ability to experience the sensory field more fully.
