Deep listening is part of diving into your own stream of thoughts and understanding that flow.
Practice deep listening wherever and whenever you can. Try to shift your stream of thoughts from yourself (what do I know, what is my response) to the people you are talking to and their words, without personal reaction (without interrupting and without jumping in with solutions or answers).
Breathing exercises can greatly benefit deep listening and connecting with yourself.
Look at the materials below and reflect:

Do I use any exercises (for active listening, breathing exercises)?
How can deep listening help me to strengthen relationships in practice?
