Morning Meditation With Gentle Rain On A Tin Roof

A sound-based mindfulness meditation with a backdrop of gentle rain on a tin roof. Minimal verbal interruptions give the meditator the opportunity to focus primarily on the sound of the rain hitting the roof, and, if you can listen closely, on other morning sounds too.

This was a nice, easy meditation. It's so wonderful to do nothing more than listen.

Quite challenging but a great exercise for improving focus.

Strange. Different. But I like that sound. And it leaves me feeling purified, clarified. Thankyou.

Simple, peaceful, and effective. My thoughts were scattered this morning, so the regular reminders to return to listening were much-needed and well-timed. Thank you.
