The Yoga Of Listening: An Eight-Gate Path
With Juan Vega (Monk Mode Society)Listening can be a full practice—not background, not distraction, not “just sound.” In this 8-lesson course, you’ll train listening the way a yogi trains the body: step-by-step, gate-by-gate, until the mind steadies and the heart softens. Each lesson is a guided listening-meditation with spacious practice time inside the audio. You’ll learn how to use pulse, tone, resonance, and near-silence as anchors—so attention stops chasing and starts settling. What you’ll practice across the eight gates: • Gate 1: The Drum — establishing rhythm as a steadying foundation • Gate 2: The Breath Tone — breath-awareness through sound cycles • Gate 3: Turning Inward — shifting from outer sound to inner presence • Gate 4: The Single Tone — sustained tone for deep focus and release • Gate 5: The Heard Heart — emotional listening without spiraling • Gate 6: Silence Training — guided quiet with structure and safety • Gate 7: Applied Listening — staying present through “disruptions” • Gate 8: The Dojo Within — a full closing practice that seals the path Best used with headphones in a safe, comfortable space. Come as you are—this is training for real life, not perfection.
Train your attention through sound, silence, and rhythm—until listening becomes stillness.
