Teaching Listening Group

[Ann Dyer]

Dear Julian and Teaching-Listening Friends,

Thank you for the invitation!  I look forward to communicating with all of you on the topic of teaching listening, a subject so very much at the center of my life at the moment. I am a yoga instructor who specializes in naada yoga, a soteriology of sound that is rooted in deep listening. I naturally tend to draw from many sources, ancient and contemporary, and with naada yoga being a fairly esoteric subject I really have little choice!  My education has included the study of the Indian texts and classical Indian music (which is rooted in the principles of naada yoga), but is also inspired by current findings, including the good work of people like Julian.  For a little bit of information (not yet very developed) on what I have been up to you can visit the site of my yoga studio in Oakland, CA at www.m-yoga.org.  I look forward to hearing from — if not listening to — all of you in the near future!

Om shanti,

Ann

Hi Ann,

I talk with my students alot about trying to employ yoga breathing and
listening techniques in learning language!

We would love to learn more about it from you on a deeper level. Have
you come across any research that discusses brainwave / neuron firing
patterns whilst in deep naada meditation?

I am wondering more specifically about activity in the superior
temporal gyrus area of the brain during yoga.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Andrew

I would like to thank Julian for suggesting I join this group and to all of you for your fresh and stimulating ideas.
I am Mark, a musician.
I have been living in the Israel for the past 30 years and have recently returned to England.
since 1998 I have been the band leader for WhiteFlag Project, musicians from Gaza and Tel Aviv who mange to meet and perform together...in an erratic way, at different venues around the world.
I am also a teacher not just of music, but also sound and it's influence and relationship with us...human beings.
My experience with WF project and other similar projects showed me how extremely sound is influencing our behavior on a molecular level...in other words that we hear, listen on many levels in and on our body and mind.
I experienced time and again behavior patterns between peoples in 'conflict' that showed a wiilingness to listen and have 'time' for one and other where normally that would not be the case...
I am attaching a short summary that helped me to clarify these thoughts, any thoughts or comments would be most appreciated
thanx so much
