There are many activities designed to improve one’s listening knowledge and skills throughout this book. The activities are based on research, wisdom traditions, and the author’s personal experience in teaching the Listening the the SONG of Life course at the college level. All the activities are intended to promote the reader’s health of mind, body, and spirit. However, the author is a Professor of Communication, and not a doctor, psychiatrist, nutritionist, physical therapist, or other health care professional. Nor am I an academic expert in fields outside of Communication such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, religious studies, and the like. Accordingly, if you are dubious about engaging in any of the activities, refrain from doing so. And, if you experience any emotional, mental, physical, or spiritual discomfort when engaging in any of the activities, stop and seek professional care if appropriate. Neither the author nor the publisher assume any liability for possible negative consequences of engaging in these activities. Finally, any errors in reasoning, claims, evidence, and citations are solely my responsibility.
