World Listening Day is an exciting day to celebrate the beauty of listening! This holiday was created in 2010 by the World Listening Project, which works to promote the importance of sound and acoustic awareness. It’s soon become the day of listening, not just as the physical listening capability. It’s a great opportunity to take some time out of your day and really listen – not only with your ears but also with your heart.

Why we love World Listening Day

  1. It celebrates nature’s sounds

World Listening Day is a great way to appreciate all the amazing sounds that nature has to offer. From birdsong to sea waves, there is an endless array of beautiful sounds in the world and taking time to listen can have a peaceful and therapeutic effect.

  1. It promotes mindfulness

By tuning into our surroundings, we become more mindful of what is happening around us. This can help us become more connected with each other and our environment, both of which are essential for cultivating peace and harmony in the world.

  1. It encourages creativity

Listening carefully can help spark imagination and creativity. We often miss out on unique sounds due to everyday distractions like cell phones or traffic noise. Putting these devices away, and taking a moment to actively listen, can open up a world of possibilities when it comes to creating art or music. 

How to Celebrate World Listening Day

  1. Listen to nature

Take a few moments to listen to the birds, the wind, or the sound of the ocean. Nature has its own soundtrack and it’s just waiting for you to tune in.

  1. Listen to yourself and your body

Spend some time putting the attention on each different part of your body and feel the feelings it feels, caress it, unleash this capability of listening.

  1. Listen to a podcast

Podcasts are an immersive experience that take you wherever you want. Take the opportunity to join this with the listening to your body with the YA.BE Weekend Retreat boxes for a renewal beauty experience of deep relaxation (GOODBYE STRESS), energy recharge (HELLO ENERGY) or deep connection to nature and the sense of deep calm it brings to you (NATURE HUG).

  1. Go to a sound bath
A sound bath is an incredible way to experience sound and vibration. You can find venues hosting these events near you.
