first, it is getting you comfortable. Second, it is affiliating the product to good associations in your brain. Third, it is the use of emotions. Forth, it is minimizing the dark side of the product.

listening is an art. it is the art of the inner ear. To hear the pitch, to sense the energy, to feel the flow or undercurrent. It is the best tool we have to recognize the play of words and sounds.

Are you aware of the reasons of your thoughts and the patterns your brain accumulate by simply being focused and listening without discrimination?
