Deep listening involves paying attention to body responses and all senses to comprehend what others are saying at a deeper level. By focusing on breath and body responses during conversations, individuals can avoid falling into scripted responses and societal programs, allowing for the creation of new connections and grooves in the brain. Being fully present by listening to different parts of one's body enables individuals to move beyond existing patterns and cognitive scripts.
