Inner Strength Meditations
The anchor of sound
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this meditation, you’ll practice opening your awareness to sounds as they come and go. When your mind drifts, you gently return to listening. A calming practice for focus, steadiness, and mental balance.
Why this helps? Listening mindfully steadies your attention and brings you into the present moment.

SPEAKER_00This is a short mindfulness of sounds practice. Begin by finding a comfortable sitting position and gently closing your eyes. Connect to the sensations of your body sitting in a relaxed and alert way. Now move the focus of your attention to sounds. What sounds can you hear right now? Simply pay attention to sounds happening in the present moment. Notice sounds as they arise all around you. Stay for a while and then fade away. You may notice sounds that are close by, or even sounds that are far away. You may notice how some sounds are short and others longer, and how some sounds are pleasant and others not so pleasant. You may even notice the silence between sounds. All you have to do right now is notice sounds as they arise and fade in this very moment. And when your mind wanders, that's okay. You can simply begin again by shifting your attention back to the next sound you notice again and again. Do this for as long as you like and notice how you feel after.
