Lyrics

[Deep Himalayan bowl]
[Long natural decay]
[Warm low drone slowly enters]
[Distant ocean]
[Very sparse rain stick]
[Allow long instrumental space]
[Spoken softly]
You made it here.
[Pause]
For now...
that's enough.
[Long instrumental sound bath]
[Deep bowl]
[Warm crystal bowl]
[Soft rubbed gong]
[Overlapping natural harmonics]
[Very slow evolution]
[Large spaces between sounds]
[Spoken softly]
Let your shoulders fall.
[Pause]
Let the weight come off.
[Return immediately to instrumental]
[Deep resonant bowls]
[Crystal sustain]
[Distant wind]
[Very subtle chime]
[Gradually remove layers]
[One final deep singing bowl]
[Very long decay into near silence]
[Near silence]
[One distant deep singing bowl]
[Deep warm male baritone, extremely close-mic]
Before we begin...
find somewhere you can be still.
[Pause]
Sit comfortably...
or lie down.
Let your hands rest wherever they naturally fall.
[Pause]
If you're using headphones...
keep the volume comfortable.
You don't need to concentrate.
You don't need to understand anything.
And you don't need to make anything happen.
[Long pause]
For the next little while...
let yourself stop carrying everything.
[Soft bowl]
Let your jaw loosen.
Drop your shoulders.
Unclench your hands.
[Pause]
Take one slow breath in...
[Soft swelling resonance]
and let it go.
[Long fade]
Again...
slowly in...
and slowly out.
[Pause]
If thoughts come...
let them come.
You don't have to fight them.
Just notice the sounds...
and let them pass through you.
[Long pause]
Nothing to accomplish.
Nowhere else you need to be.
Just this moment.
[Soft crystal bowl]
Close your eyes if that feels comfortable.
[Pause]
And let everything else wait.
[Deep bowl]
Let's begin.
[Long instrumental decay]
[No more speaking]
