What is Simple Listening™?

Derived from the fields of trauma-informed neuroscience, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, and Jungian psychology, SIMPLE Listening™ is a programme that promotes biological safety and autonomic nervous system regulation through a series of embodiment and reflective practices. The anagram SIMPLE denotes the practices involved: Somatic awareness, Intuitive inquiry, mindful Movement, Play and creative practice, whole body Listening and Effortless action. Through a biopsychosocial lens, these practices are used to access better self knowing, which ultimately leads to freedom of self expression, and an ability to step more fully into your embodied sovereignty.

The key to SIMPLE Listening™ is that the practices are simple and easy to do. Trying to make big changes in our lives is hard and usually unsustainable. This is a tool bag of little simple practices whose effects add up to make a significant change in your nervous system and therefore support your holistic self.

Jane Shaw facilitates SIMPLE Listening™ programmes for organisations online and in-person, using SIMPLE Listening™ practices to meet the specific needs or your organisation. Typical topics include well-being and self-care, burnout, and empowered communication skills. We particularly love working with non-profits and charities, supporting their teams to do their great work.
