Headphones recommended.

In this soothing sound bath, Sara Auster gently guides your breath over harmonic tones to stimulate your parasympathetic response, which has been shown to deeply relax your body and nervous system. 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.

Puts me to sleep

I guess it's not for everyone, judging by the reviews, but I've tried about 1/2 of the sleep selections on audible and this one works the fastest if you do the breathing like she says and I like the background noise. I'm a person that gets caught up in thought & this just works for me if I really just want to go to sleep & not just do stuff until I can't stay awake any longer. A lot of the meditation section is kind of annoying for me because I follow along too hard and stuff moves too fast, (like I thought we were still inhaling, I thought we were still on toes & what am I doing other than thinking about my left foot--wait is this my left foot or my right? My foot kinda hurts now that I'm thinking about it) but this one is easy to follow & the breathing does just put you to sleep. Just thought I'd add some positive comments for this one as a lot seem more negative than it deserves as one of the few good ones.

Relax!!! So good

Had a bath listening to this then I lay right on the bed and felt a huge release and relaxation

volume up or down?

I liked this meditation. I had to turn the volume up considerably in order to hear the woman's voice. Which in turn made the monotoned music quite loud :/ I did enjoy the breathing though!!!

1st listen opinion

I just finished a 32 hour history of Greece - how am I supposed to fall asleep now?! I gave this a try and was probably asleep within a few minutes.
I love sound baths, so I'll try to listen longer tonight for a more detailed review.

Grating noise

The chime or keyboard notes are fine, but the grinding white noise attempt overpowers both the voice and chime sounds enough to be distracting, it isn’t the so much as the volume in comparison to the others.
