Publisher's summary

Headphones recommended. 

Over the soothing tones of resonant, vibrating instruments, Sara Auster gently guides you to observe and let go of bodily sensations as a way to release tension and find deep relaxation. 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.

Heavenly

Magnificent sound that allows me to detach from myself, relax and fall asleep. The constant drone of the instrument provides the radiant vibration for me to concentrate more on my breathing than on the overwhelming chatter of negativity that pervades my thoughts. Following the experience through Sarah’s voice leads me to focus on the area of my physical body that I need to concentrate on. Eventually, I drifted into a deep sleep and my body felt well rested and cleared of the vibrations that kept me focused on the lower, negative, critical self. Staying open to new techniques and exercises keeps me in wonder and awe of life. I appreciate a chance to participate in something offered by such a wonderful practitioner and artist like Sarah Auster. Sending love and radiant light to all.

My hearing

I had a hard time hearing the performance in the beginning. When I turned it up then the frequency drowned out the words. I sure this is a problem with my aging ears and cheap aids.

OK

These sound baths are just OK. The sounds aren't terribly relaxing but the voice and sounds give me something to focus on that isn't too taxing.

weird

noise was louder than performer. I struggled with this title because of the poor sound.

great nidra

good. so chilled. well done. reassuring. no pressure to excel at process. thank you. enjoy

It’s my go to

This meditation always puts me to sleep, although I wish the droning in the background was a little softer. I use it at least twice a week.

perfect listen for er visit waiting to be pickedup

Helpful for relaxing and I was feeling ill and stressed and it helped me relax.

Excellent ambience, interrupted

I loved the ambient music but I only wish the narrator could be removed. She just. Keeps. Talking.

Just what I needed

If you need help to really focus and are beginning your journey to meditation along with trying to understand yourself better, this is a great practice.

Noisy background music

The background music is too loud and the voice of the speaker too low. Although the meditation itself is ok. It also ends abruptly.
Not sure I will repeat it
