A five minute home sound bath
Choose one soft sound source: a singing bowl, a chime, a recording of gentle tones, or calm instrumental music. Set a timer for five minutes and find a comfortable position, seated or lying down.
Let the sound wash over you and follow it until it fades. Breathe a little longer on the exhale. If your mind wanders, return to the sound. If anything feels too loud or intense, lower the volume or stop.
Keep the practice accessible. Headphones can help in shared spaces, and a short session is better than none. Sound can be a lovely companion for rest. If you are sensitive to sound or have hearing concerns, choose very gentle volumes.

If sound helps you arrive, a bowl or a chime can mark the beginning and the end of a practice so your attention knows when to soften and when to return.

One tone is enough
You do not need a studio. Hum, use a bowl if you have one, or play one calm tone at low volume. Keep sessions short. Stop if you feel flooded.
Close into silence
After the sound, sit in quiet for one minute. Let the room teach you what remains.
