Sound — Compact

Welcome. This is Sound — hearing, one of three foundational sense practices. Listen to the soundscape around you for about a minute.

[Pause 2s]

Make yourself comfortable — sitting, standing, whatever works. Soften the eyes, or close them — whatever helps you listen.

[Pause 2s]

All you need to do is listen to the sounds around you. Let them come to you — no need to hunt.

[Pause 4s]

Notice any continuous sound — a background hum, a soft hiss, or distant traffic. Just hear it.

[Pause 5s]

Notice any brief sounds too — a door closing, a voice, or footsteps. Just notice them.

[Pause 5s]

If the mind tells a story about a sound, soften and come back to listening.

[Pause 4s]

The sounds can stay. Soften. You can leave it here.

[Pause 3s]

Alright — that brings us to the end.

Run this a couple of times until you can rest with the soundscape without the audio.

Thank you for listening with me.
