What does it really mean to listen?
I’m so excited to share the first episode of Wanderings & Ponderings with you. I’ve been listening to podcasts almost every day since the 2010s, so creating my own feels like a slightly surreal moment!
It’s also very much outside my comfort zone to put my own voice and thoughts out into the world in this way, but I’m so excited to finally share it with you.
This is a short clip from the episode. I’ll be sharing the full episode later today.
A Journey Through Listening is Episode 1 of Returning to Ourselves, the first series of Wanderings & Ponderings.
In this episode, I share the lifelong journey that led me to therapeutic sound, and explore the possibility that listening is much more than something we simply do with our ears.
Reflecting on my relationship with music, my first sound bath in 2021, and my professional background, I explore immersive listening, and consider how allowing the mind to drift creates space for imagination, insight, and unexpected connections.
The episode also touches on the symbolic origins of Gaia Sound Journeys, altered states of consciousness, hedge riding, and the High Priestess, considering how immersive listening can open a space for curiosity, presence, and seeing ourselves and the world differently.
Perhaps listening isn't just about relaxation, but an invitation to pause, wander, imagine, feel and notice, and perhaps, ultimately, to return to ourselves.
