I enjoyed this practice too. It was interesting to really take in the periphery and what is on the edge of my vision. I liken this to soft gaze with meditation. I did find that it really helped me to be more present and aware and less focused in on one spot. I really liked using this when talking with a friend. It shifted my awareness. I listened to the directions a couple of times- and I look forward to doing this more when outside. I am reading a book by Jon Young- What the robin knows- and these practices are really helping me to tune more into the local birds and listen to the songs and calls! Yeah! Love all the connections

I did the surround sound outside on a snowy wintery day and it was wonderful to tune into the sounds. I like the progression of listening to sounds in a certain direction – and then doing the 3 D sounds! It really helped me to think of a mental map of the sounds. I felt this slowed me down.
