Align in Acoustic Meditation

We Observe Sound

Simply, acoustic meditation is an impactful tool uniquely tailored to the challenges of the current era of stress and chronically fragmented thinking. It is suitable for beginner and experienced meditators alike, as the sound facilitates an easeful dropping in without the need of a complex intellectual technique.

The practice is one of using intentional sound and music to help access expanded states of consciousness. It is a contemporary modality with ancient roots, integrating western psychoacoustic science and eastern wisdom in a meditative setting. The practice is supported by a suite of overtone-rich instruments like symphonic gongs, antique singing bowls, and monochords.

The judicious and equanimous observation of these acoustics becomes a powerful tool to disengage from discursive thought and experience a state of wordless transcendence. The practice empowers participants to decouple from their unwanted habituated patterns and supports beneficial cognitive transformation.

“What science cannot declare, art can suggest; what art suggests silently, poetry speaks aloud; but what poetry fails to explain in words, music can express. Whoever knows the mystery of vibrations indeed knows all things.”

— Hazrat Inayat Khan

 Nothing is something

We forgot

Air thought just to be not

Displacing space between

For pillar and beam

What stitching have we done

Simply to make a seam?
