谛听谛听：以耳、以心、以气

1. 听之以耳：感性层次的谛听，放松地用两只耳朵接收一切信息。这是“人籁”层次的表面信息的沟通交流。

2. 听之以心：理性层次的谛听，同理心是第三只耳朵。这是“地籁”层次的隐含信息的沟通交流。

3. 听之以气：悟性层次的谛听，反闻闻自性。这是“天籁”层次的完整信息的深度沟通交流。

Deep Listening:

1. Level 1–Listening with your ears with full attention. “I am all ears.”

2. Level 2: Empathetic Listening. I.e. listening with your heart. “I am here for you.”

3. Level 3: Listen with your soul! “I am you and you are me. We are one.”

在《人间世》篇解释“心斋”时，庄子有“三听”之论：“若一志，无听之以耳而听之以心，无听之以心而听之以气。听止于耳，心止于符。气也者，虚而待物者也。唯道集虚，虚者，心斋也。”
