About this meditation

What it does

There is a particular kind of exhausting where nothing is wrong. The crisis passed. The job is fine. The person is gone. And your body is still braced like it is coming.

That is not you being dramatic or ungrateful. A nervous system does not update because you told it to. It updates through repetition, through being walked into the feeling of safety often enough that it stops being unfamiliar.

This one is slower than the others. We are not chasing a state, we are building a reference. Ground, breath, the body scanned from the feet up, and sound holding it the whole way. The point is that your system gets to feel settled and starts to remember the shape of it.

Come back to it. This is the one that works by being done more than once.

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.
