Just a number I guess, but you know....As far as incorporating the Meisner technique - I don't think we can use the technique of repeating in our daily lives, but I think the idea of keeping our minds "empty and open" while listening to others is an idea to keep in mind.

You have a lot of good stuff so it isn't hard to believe. This was definitely pretty confusing to me - especially when I think about trying to incorporate it into listening but I liked that you point out that all the "active listening" techniques really aren't listening at all...

I'm trying out a new audio player with this episode. If you roll over the black rectangle above you'll see a few small squares in the lower left. Roll over them and you'll see that it says "menu". click on that and then you'll see the download arrow. You can, of course, subscribe in iTunes as well. Enjoy the podcast.
