Good evening.
And welcome to tonight's practice.
Where we will gently quiet the noise of the outer world.
To tune into something far more subtle.
The delicate,
High-vibrational hum of your own soul.
My name is Rasa.
And tonight I will guide you to develop what I like to call your inner hearing.
A quiet intuitive sense that allows you to receive spiritual guidance,
Not through signs.
But through sound.
By the end of our time together.
You will have drifted into a deep and restful sleep.
Carrying this new sense of inner listening with you into your dreams.
There is nothing you need to do to prepare for this.
Other than to make sure you are warm,
Comfortable.
And free of any last tasks from your day.
If your alarm needs setting,
Take care of that now.
And when you are ready.
Allow your eyes to close.
Begin by taking a few slow and cleansing breaths in through the nose and out through your mouth.
And so with each exhale.
.
.
Soften your grip of the day behind you.
Not exactly by force,
But by gentle release.
Breathing in you welcome stillness.
Breathing out.
You let go of everything that no longer needs your attention tonight.
Let your breath settle into its own natural rhythm now.
And bring your awareness to that surface beneath you.
Feel the points of contact between your body and the bed.
And notice how the weight of your body seems to sink a little further with every exhale.
As though gravity were humming a quiet,
Unwavering pulse beneath you.
Patient and constant.
Asking nothing of you but to rest.
Now let's move slowly through the body.
Inviting deep relaxation into each part as we go.
I want to pause here just for a moment,
Because this part matters more than it might seem.
It can be tempting to rush ahead toward the visualization,
But the slow settling of the body is what allows your inner hearing to actually open later on.
So if your mind is urging you to hurry,
Gently let it know that there is no need.
That this stillness is not a delay,
But the doorway itself.
Bring your attention to the crown of your head.
And imagine the muscles here beginning to soften.
Let this softness spread down through your forehead.
Easing the space between your eyebrows.
Releasing the muscles around your eyes.
Relax your jaw.
Allow your tongue to rest heavily in your mouth.
And feel your whole face grow quiet and still.
Let this wave of ease continue down through your neck.
And into your shoulders.
Releasing any weight you have been carrying.
Feel it flow down through your arms.
Your elbows,
Your wrists.
All the way to your fingertips.
Until your arms feel heavy and at rest.
Bring your attention to your chest now.
And to your breath.
Allowing your ribs to rise and fall without effort.
Relax your belly.
Your lower back.
Your hips.
And let this gentle unwinding continue down through your thighs.
Your knees.
Your calves.
Your ankles.
All the way to the soles of your feet.
Until your entire body rests in stillness.
Take one more full breath here.
In through the nose.
And out with a long,
Soft sigh,
Releasing anything that remains.
Now as your body rests in this quiet,
Heavy ease.
I want you to notice something.
Even in silence.
The world is never truly still.
There is a vibration beneath all things.
A subtle current of energy and sound.
That moves through the Earth.
Through the air.
Through your own body.
Most of the time we are too busy,
Too loud,
In our own minds to notice it.
But tonight in this soft and undistracted space.
We are going to listen for it,
Together.
Think for a moment about how ordinary hearing works.
How sound simply arrives without you needing to strain or search for it.
Your ears don't reach out to grab a sound.
They simply stay open.
And the sound comes to meet them.
Tonight we are going to borrow that same quality of effortless receiving.
But turn it towards something.
That lives beyond the reach of your physical ears altogether.
Imagine that just behind your ears or perhaps somewhere deep within your chest.
There exists another kind of ear.
Not one made of physical form.
But an inner instrument.
Tuned not to the sounds of the world.
But to the subtle vibrations of Spirit.
We will call this your inner hearing.
And think of it almost like a seashell held to the ear.
One that has been resting silently on a shelf.
Holding a notion inside it.
That only reveals itself.
Once you finally bring it close enough to listen.
Take a slow breath in.
And as you exhale.
Imagine this inner ear beginning to open.
The way a jar lid gives way after the first quiet turn.
Loosening more easily than expected.
Once you stop gripping so tightly.
It widens gradually.
The way your body has softened and widened throughout this relaxation.
Now imagine that somewhere.
.
.
Just beyond the edge of ordinary hearing.
There is a faint awakening current.
More felt than heard.
Like a resonant pulse humming gently at the base of your head.
Or a quiet ringing.
That seems to hover just beyond your thoughts.
This is the frequency of your own soul.
Very unique to you.
And always present beneath the surface of that busy mind.
Now allow yourself to simply notice this tone.
Without trying to force it into any clarity.
Some people perceive it as a hum.
Others as a whisper,
A ringing.
Or even a color,
Translated into sound.
There's no right way to experience this.
So,
Whatever arises for you.
Is exactly what you need to notice tonight.
As you rest in awareness of this subtle frequency.
Imagine it beginning to grow ever so slightly in clarity.
Not exactly louder,
But clearer.
The way a distant radio station comes into focus when you turn the dial just right.
And as it clarifies.
You may notice that within this hum,
There are other tones layered gently within it.
Like harmonics,
Resting inside a single note.
These are the voices of your higher wisdom.
The quiet intuitive knowing that exists beneath your everyday thoughts.
You don't need to interpret them into words just yet.
For now,
Simply be in their presence.
Allowing your inner hearing to grow more accustomed to their frequency.
Imagine that with every breath you take.
This inner listening deepens.
Breathing in,
Your inner ear opens a little further.
Breathing out.
Any resistance or overthinking dissolves.
Making more space for this subtle sense to grow.
In opening.
Out,
Releasing.
Continue this quiet rhythm just for a few more breaths.
Deepening your connection to this inner frequency with each cycle.
Now,
Gently invite a question to arise within you.
Maybe something spontaneous,
Or maybe something you have been curious about or uncertain of.
Or hoping for guidance around.
Don't think about it too hard.
Simply allow it to surface naturally,
The way a bubble rises effortlessly to the surface of still water.
So now,
Once your question has settled quietly into your awareness,
If possible,
Release the need to actively seek an answer.
Instead,
Simply listen.
Let your inner hearing remain open and receptive,
Ready to catch whatever tone,
Whisper or knowing that wishes to arise.
This guidance may not come as clear words.
It might arrive as a feeling,
An image.
A sense of clarity.
Or simply a deepening of peace.
I advise to trust whatever arises.
And know that even silence denies.
Is a valid and complete response.
Sometimes our soul's wisdom asks only that we rest.
And that the answer will come once we are ready to receive it.
Whatever you have received tonight.
Whether it arrived as clear insight.
Or as nothing you can quite name.
There's no need to hold on to it or replay it.
Or try to remember it exactly.
Just let it settle into your body.
The way water settles into soil.
Quietly doing its work.
Long after you have stopped paying attention to it.
Your inner hearing.
Has already recorded what it needed to.
The rest is simply trust.
And now.
Let's gently seal this listening with a few soft affirmations.
Ones you can carry with you as you drift off tonight.
Silently or in a whisper if you would like.
Repeat after me.
My inner hearing is always open.
I trust the wisdom that moves through me.
I am guided even in silence.
My soul speaks and I am learning its language.
I welcome clarity in whatever form it arrives.
I am safe to listen deeply.
Each affirmation moves through you like a ripple through still water.
As you rest in this space.
Imagine the tone beginning to soften once more.
Growing quieter and more distant.
Like a lullaby.
Fading gently into the background.
This is not a sign that the connection is lost.
But rather an invitation.
Your inner hearing does not need to stay wide awake and alert.
It can rest now too.
Knowing that this subtle frequency will always be here.
Ready to be found again.
Whenever you return to the same quiet listening state.
Feel yourself growing sleepier now.
Drifting a little further from the waking world with every breath.
Like a tide slowly pulling out to a quieter shore.
Your breath continues to slow.
Your mind continues to quiet.
And this inner ear you have discovered tonight.
Settles gently.
Like a little fox,
Curling into its den for the night.
Air still faintly tuned.
Even in sleep.
You may carry a soft awareness.
That even as you drift off.
This subtle listening continues quietly beneath the surface.
Tuning into whatever your soul wishes to share with you,
Through the language of dreams.
Simply rest in this peaceful stillness.
Letting go of any remaining thought.
Any remaining sounds.
Any remaining effort.
With each breath.
Think a little deeper.
With each breath.
Release a little more.
Sweet dreams and rest well.
