Deep listening
a healing practice to calm your body, clear your mind, and open your heart
Deep listening is the habit of paying close and tender attention to our body, our mind, and our heart so we can meet our "stress" differently.
In Deep Listening, Jillian Pransky presents her signature Calm Body, Clear Mind, Open Heart program—a 10-step journey of self-exploration that she’s taught around the world. It centers on the science of Deep Listening, which allows us to pause and truly hear—often for the first time—what both our bodies and our minds are telling us. It kickstarts our relaxation response, calming muscular tension and setting the whole body up for deep healing, growth and repair. It’s a new frontier in integrative wellness—the new mindfulness.
With her self-guided home retreat, Jillian won’t ask you to “be your best self,” or “do more!” She’ll ask you to “be here” and “do less.” She’ll ask you to pause and tune into yourself and will guide you, step-by-step, into a state of relaxation and openness. Her technique, which integrates tools like breath work, guided meditation, movement, and journaling, in addition to specialized yoga sequences, will help you see yourself as you really are. Once you immerse yourself in the practice of Deep Listening, the inner workings of your mind and body will become crystal clear.
In Jillian's, Deep Listening she shares techniques and tools that focus on experiencing our connected-ness. This feeling of connection not only changes the way we respond to stress, it actually leaves us feeling less stressed, increases the amount of joy in our life, and sets the conditions for us to evolve.
“Slowly and gently, we are going to develop a strong foundation that we can rest on any and every time we meet challenges in life.”

“Pausing gives us extra room to take things in. It allows us time to listen to ourselves before responding or reacting. We pause so we can pay attention to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us in a more open and compassionate way.”
