There is an inner music going on. Inside, beneath the waves. Go inside. Beneath the thoughts, the sensations, the sounds and images. Listen. Go inside, deeper, deeper, and feel with your listening heart.
This listening is of the whole body. Listen inside, with everything you are. Listen with your solar plexus, your spine, your arms, your legs, fully, completely. With your whole attention, your whole intention. Deeper. Deeper. Listen with all of you, with everything in you. Let it permeate you.
The body itself is the vibration of that inner music, a powerful music that plays every moment. Listen. Listen deeper. Every part of your being, every cell, is thirsty for that inner music.
In that deep listening, the quality of the listening spreads out within you and beyond you, the feeling-attention deepens, diving deeper and deeper into your life essence. That music is looking out through your eyes, feeling with your skin, hearing with your ears. It is always here, always now.
That deep listening can happen any time. The inner music is always there. Perhaps listening to rain, a symphony, a forest, a fireplace, the listening goes so deeply inward that there is only that one music, that one listening, and all distance between the listening and what is heard disappears. In that space, no dividing line is drawn between inner and outer. In that space, everything is part of the inner music.
At the core, all listening is really inner listening. And there is nowhere the inner music is not.
Listen to the inner music.

The wisdom mind is not some faraway attainment.
You got it when you were born,
you have it every second,
and it is always trying to get you to listen a little closer.
