Listening does not necessarily mean the student "understands." In fact, turning off the thinking mind is often key to turning on the inner voice and inner hearing. And before asana practice one needs to really cultivate opening the sensorial mind, and become very mindful of how the body-mind FEELS. I'm heading over to your post now to try to understand (yes, with my cognitive mind!) how, through conversation, you enable the student to come to an understanding of his or her own energy. Thanks for taking the time to respond here- great discussion you started :-) Devpriya, Glad to see you here.
