Publisher's summary

Headphones recommended.

Gently place your attention on the steady low-pitched thrum of a gong, while chimes and bells add layers of tones to create a deeply relaxing and immersive sound experience.   

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.

Beautiful…💜

Listened to this after a short guided meditation, allowed me to go deeper into thoughts and intentions for the day.

Star sounds to sleep under

Often, I listen to this ‘included with membership audible selection’ when I want to tune out, settle in and go to sleep. Without fail it is successful- every single time. I fall asleep so quickly and soundly, I don’t think I have ever stayed awake all the way through. It’s an amazing experience. I’m grateful to have this available. It’s a soundscape of wonder and depth taking you far within yourself to reveal your core being, your own natures’ essence. It’s beautiful and grounding- it’s as if a meteor shower had sound fading into the dark recesses of night.

Calming the Mind

Sara Auster gives permission to let go of all the concerns and worries that have accumulated in the mind over the day. This sound bath is as relaxing as soaking in the tub at day's end.

Grounding- gongs

Please make a 60 or 90 min one with the gongs. i loved it. pleasantly surprised. keep this one in the rotation.

Excellent!

I felt like I was cloud jumping as this piece took my soul on a journey. This calm yet riveting adventure is food for the soul.

Why is it so terrifying?

I wanted to like this, but it honestly gave me the creeps. How is this grounding? I have it 3 stars because it would make a FIRE soundtrack to a arthouse-style horror/thriller. Just switch genres!

Excellent

This track is very relaxing and it helps me with calming my mind down anytime.

okay

I didn't find it grounding, calming or relaxing. It just didn't do anything for me

Beautiful

This is such a great way to relax and let your mind go and drift off to sleep. Sara's voice is soothing as is the music of the bells and bowls and chimes and whatever else she used to create this sound bath.

Great for meditating or relaxing

Awesome background noise for meditating. It’s not narrated but nowhere does it advertise that lol, it’s meant to help you wind down and relax. Really soothing, the sound helps you center yourself quickly and detach.
