Recording and Listening with Cheri Huber

Recording and Listening Zen Awareness Practice

Oh, much excitement ahead! Have you read our book, What You Practice Is What You Have? It’s got lots of tips for recording and listening. Last night on Open Air something occurred to me that I’d never thought of before, using the assignments from Transform Your Life (available as an iPhone app) for recording and listening material. You could record the assignment at the beginning of the day, check in throughout the day, review at the end of the day. Very awareness producing. And, best tip of all: Let the recorder become a wise friend, counselor, mentor. Let the various parts of you talk, listen to what’s said, let the wisdom flow out of your mouth (yep, it sure will!) into the recorder, listen, and be amazed. I’m happy for you. Gassho

To learn more about Recording and Listening Practice please refer to
Cheri Huber books:
What You Practice Is What You Have and There Is Nothing Wrong With You.

Excerpt from the book:
"In There Is Nothing Wrong With You, the primary practice tool is a
recording of "reassurances." Reassurances are true statements made by
ones mentor, or center. The statements are meant to solidify the
relationship between the human being (you!) and the wise,
compassionate awareness (the "centered you"!) that is available to
encourage and support us through life when we turn our attention to
it.

In What You Practice Is What You Have, the primary practice tool for
learning to direct attention is another recording in which the
mentoring process expands. This recording may include your
reassurances but that is not the primary purpose. Here is how to take
the next step:

In your own voice, make a recording that reminds you of everything you
need to remember so that you can make
the choices you know you need to make, from center, to have the life
you know is possible for you."

Many suggestions to inspire creation of your recording are given in a
section titled "30 days of Exercises: A Self-Guided Workshop." (See
sample pages.) Here are a few words from Cheri to get you started with
recording and listening:

Put anything in your recording that speaks to your heart. Much of what
you might choose to record may come from outside sources, but nothing
counts until we take it in and get it for ourselves.
