We have been working on keeping our body in the group and whole body listening in our social group. It is expected that we stay with the group when we are in group settings. People feel comfortable and safe when we all follow expected group behavior.
It is best when we listen with our eyes, ears, mouths,hands, arms, legs and feet. When we move around and face away from a speaker they may feel annoyed, uncomfortable, upset or angry. When we use whole body listening the speaker knows that others are listening and thinking about them. Everyone can then feel happy.
Where is my mind?
Take one minute and count on your hands how many times your mind goes to the past, to the future, or somewhere else. Then return to the present for a rest.
