The Sounds Of Silence

This mindfulness meditation practice is an invitation to turn toward sound as an anchor and a guide. The intermittent sound of the gong and the silence which emerges from its passing encourage deep listening and awareness in one's immediate present moment environment.

Transcript

The intention for this practice is to turn toward listening, And this time instead of words as guidance, To use sounds as the anchor. I will ring a higher pitched gong to start and to end, And in between I'll use a lower pitched one and ring that intermittently. So please settle into whatever posture will be supportive of your practice. And when you notice your mind wandering, Use the sounds that you hear and notice the silences between the sounds and make use of those as an anchor to bring the mind back to this present moment experience wherever you find yourself. The intention is to use the sounds that you hear and notice the silences between the sounds and make use of those as an anchor to bring the mind back to this present moment experience wherever you find yourself. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Reviews

I wish more guided meditations could be as simple and helpful as this one. Thank you.

If you want to meditate without listening to someone speak; this is perfect. Initial guidance and then sounds to bring you back from wherever your thoughts have taken you

Loved this. No talking at all after 1:21 minutes of introduction. Beautiful bell tones and silence. Very calming and peaceful and centering.

Loved that experience. I was so focused the bells actually startled me

Free of chatter and just what I needed.
