Before pressing play, pause and ask yourself what you need... calm, clarity, focus, emotional release, or rest. Let the music support that intention.
Breathe with the Music
Sync your breath with the rhythm or flow of the music. Slow, deep inhales and longer exhales help regulate your nervous system and enhance relaxation.
Create a Dedicated Space
Designate a quiet, comfortable spot where you can relax, stretch, or reflect without distractions. Lighting a candle or dimming the lights can deepen the experience.
Anchor Mindfulness
As you listen, gently bring your attention to the layers of sound... tones, textures, and space between notes. When your mind wanders, return to the music as your anchor.
Pair with Stillness
Sit or lie down in a comfortable position and let your body soften. Focus on slowly noticing a release of tension from all parts of your body.
