About this listen
Headphones recommended.
Focus on your breath and let the low and powerful reverberations of crystal bowls wash over you. Studies have shown these humming sounds allow your brainwaves to slow and shift from an active to relaxed state - a perfect precursor to deep sleep. In order to get the most out of your listening experience, pioneering sound therapist Sara Auster recommends you dim the lights and lie down or sit in a comfortable position with an eye mask and a blanket, silence any alerts or notifications, and use earphones. These things allow you to completely unplug and connect with the present moment to intentionally prepare for sleep. Your body has permission to slow down and rest, to receive without the need to respond or react. Begin your experience by focusing on your breath, then allow yourself to drift into a spacious and dreamlike state. All you have to do is arrive with an open mind and listen.
Sara Auster is the leading voice in sound bath experiences and considered a master of the form. Sara has been featured in The New York Times, Vogue, TIME, and O, The Oprah Magazine, and she has facilitated large-scale, site-specific sound bath experiences at iconic venues around the world including the Museum of Modern Art, Madison Square Garden, Palais de Tokyo, and SummerStage in Central Park. Her live sound bath events are celebrated as transformative, therapeutic experiences for balance, relaxation, and well-being. We're thrilled to be able to bring this unique sound experience to the comfort of your own bedroom for the first time.

A sense of inner peace calms the mind and allows us to see our path clearly, helping us focus and reach our goals. Clear goals are like a compass; you know what you want and aim to reach it. You commit to the journey, trusting that everything will work out rather than believing that it will be an intimidating ordeal. All you need to do for these hypnoses is to put on a pair of headphones, lie down or sit somewhere where you will not be disturbed, and listen to the narrator who will bring you to a state of deep relaxation within minutes.

An effective break from the “go go go!” mode
Short but effective way to slow down if you really tune in how the sound oscillates back and forth between your left and right sides.

It was good
Don't get me wrong. It was really well composed and the introduction was short and thoughtful.
It made my right ear itch. This is a problem if you're trying to use it to calm down. This may have been the fault of my headphones. I really can't know for sure until I decide to submit myself to multiple tests on the matter.
As of now, fantastic performance, counterintuitive side effects. Sorry :-(
