About this meditation

What it does

When you are stressed, your body releases adrenaline and cortisol to help you deal with danger. Your heart speeds up, your breath goes shallow, your digestion goes quiet. That alarm is meant to switch off once the danger has passed. When the stress never stops, neither does the alarm.

This one switches it off with your breath, your hands, your imagination and sound. A 4-7-8 breath. A quiet so and hum. One hand on your forehead and one on the back of your head, so the thinking part of your brain can come back online. Slow circles on the inside of each wrist.

Then the cinema. You play something that has been stressing you on a screen, forwards and backwards, and then let your favourite comedians recast it. It sounds silly, and that is the point. Most people find the charge in it has eased by the end.

The bowls move to 285 Hz while you rest. And when it is over you keep every one of these tools, for the next time stress builds.

The sound

Two layers of sound

Every meditation has two layers: first my bowls in a chakra's note, then a solfeggio frequency played on crystal bowls. Here is what this one uses, and why.

Timings are for the version with the sound bath.

What you get

Both versions

The long one ends with a full sound bath. The short one is for the days you have not got half an hour.

How you get it

Yours the moment you pay

As soon as you pay, your own private page opens with every recording ready to play or download. Bookmark it, put the files on your phone, and come back as often as you like. No app, no login, no subscription.

This is a recording to help you rest and settle. It is not medical advice and it does not replace treatment. If something is ongoing, please see your GP as well.
