Deer Ears

Whilst you are at your Sit Spot, whilst you are making your way to it, or when you are out on a walk in nature, try amplifying the sounds around you by gently cupping your hands behind your ears to make them larger. Walk slowly and move your head gently from side to side like a deer, alert for the subtle sounds around you. Turn your ‘deer ears’ towards any sounds that catch your attention.
What new sounds do you notice with your amplified hearing?
How are the sounds of nature altered by cupping your hands behind your ears in this way?

This invitation works particularly well near natural sounds such as water.

Continue this for as long as you wish.
