This is such a fun, uplifting meditation, thank you for sharing!

A few technical notes to consider in the future. There were some microphones pops that you might avoid in future recordings by using a wind screen, or spit cover, as I've always called it - y'know, the foamy covers you put over a mic. These are pretty cheap. There are also fancier expensive filters for, those things the look like round disc between the speaker and the mic? But those can be expensive. Another note, the crossfade or looping of the accompanying music track had a couple jarring moments, whether because the music ended and started again abruptly, or because the volume dipped or spiked. This could probably be avoided by using longer, more gradual, sloping crossfades between the musical tracks, along with overlapping the tracks, so that the next part starts at a low volume and slowly moves into the foreground as the previous bit fades into the background and ends. Finally, once you've put together the music, vocal, and any other accompanying tracks, you may want to equalize the "master mix". (Most of the free recording software available online has this option). This will smooth everything out and make sure that the tracks have a consistent amplitude throughtout.

Sorry the tech notes got so long! I love your meditation - I can tell it's already helped me tremendously, because I haven't thought about sound design in this way in ages! Thank you again for sharing, and I hope my comments prove helpful :)
