with Dr. Brent Carlini

This meditation invites you to tune into the sounds around you, using your sense of hearing as a focal point for mindfulness. By simply listening—without labeling, judging, or attaching meaning—you bring your attention to the present moment, allowing the mind to settle naturally.

Activating the audible sense in meditation helps to refine focus, cultivate awareness, and develop a deeper connection with the environment. Whether it’s the sound of your breath, distant birdsong, or the hum of daily life, each sound becomes an anchor, drawing you into a state of presence.

Listening meditation is especially helpful if you struggle with a busy mind, as it provides a gentle yet engaging way to practice mindfulness. It encourages relaxation, enhances sensory perception, and fosters a sense of openness and acceptance toward the world around you.

Be patient with yourself! Meditation is a skill, and it takes time. Try a variety of types of meditation to discover what suits your meditation style the best!
