And really what I didn't have was presence. It really started with drishti focusing my eyes and by learning how to just hold my focus to one point, and that bled into my ability to hold my focus with another person, my ability to look at somebody, to listen to what they're saying and to be able to process that information, and also not how to feel the urge to fix them or change them or give unsolicited advice.
How often do we truly listen, not just with our ears but with our whole being? In this episode of the Luminous Recovery Yoga Podcast, Kari Doherty takes us on a journey through the transformative power of listening, deeply rooted in yogic philosophy and twelve-step recovery wisdom. Kari shares her personal story of how yoga and recovery practices taught her to listen more attentively and compassionately.
This isn't just about hearing words; it's about connecting with others and ourselves on a profound level. Kari introduces the practice of drishti, a yogic technique that helps maintain focus and presence, allowing us to listen without the need to fix or change the other person. She also delves into the concept of divine listening, which involves tuning into our inner voice and the world around us with curiosity and openness.
For those eager to enhance their listening skills, Kari recommends exploring the CLARA technique from Stone Cairns, which stands for center, listen, affirm, respond, and add. This method offers practical steps to cultivate genuine listening in all areas of life. Tune in to this episode and join Kari on the mat for a yoga session that encourages you to listen to your body and mind, fostering a deeper connection with yourself and others.
