Jonathan Foust | Listening As A Spiritual Practice

Welcome! Where are you watching from? Please support this channel: https://imcw.org/Giving 1:49 Meditation | 13:32 Talk: Listening as Spiritual Practice: Why Unguarded Attention Is the Greatest Gift This talk explores listening as a radical act of compassion at moments of loss, when words often rush in to ease our own discomfort rather than meet another’s pain. We examine how common responses to grief—reassurance, advice, spiritual framing, or positivity—can unintentionally distance us, and how the impulse to fix subtly reinforces separation. Drawing on mindfulness and embodied awareness, the talk invites a shift from doing something helpful to being with what is most tender and real. You’ll learn how to recognize the fixing reflex as it arises, listen from the body rather than the mind, and rest in not-knowing without withdrawing or collapsing. Through practical guidance and reflection, you’ll discover how simple, grounded presence communicates safety, dignity, and care—offering a form of support that does not try to resolve grief, but allows it to unfold and be held with wisdom and compassion.
