Hypnotic Sonic Meditation

“Deep Listening explores the difference between hearing and listening. Though we receive sound waves through the ears these waves are transduced as electrical impulses by the mechanisms of the ear and transmitted to the brain where listening takes place. The ear does not listen – the brain listens.

Listening is a lifetime practice that depends on accumulated experiences with sound. Listening can be focused to detail or open to the entire field of sound. Listening still is a mysterious process that is not the same for everyone, although we have consensual agreements on the interpretation of sound waves delivered to the brain by the ears. We know more about hearing than listening.”

Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening institute

Sonic awareness is simply the act of paying attention.
