The Yoga of Sound: A Focused Listening Meditation Script
Welcome to a meditative journey into the Yoga of Sound, where our practice centers on focused listening. Begin by finding a comfortable seated position—on the floor, a cushion, or a chair. Sit with your back straight, shoulders relaxed, facial muscles softened, head aligned, and chest open. Gently close your eyes and breathe evenly through your nostrils. Let your breath slow, transitioning smoothly between inhales and exhales.
As you inhale, direct the breath down to your belly, then to your middle chest, and finally to your upper chest. With each exhale, release any tension. After a few cycles of this gentle, yogic breathing, feel your body and mind relax deeply.
Now, turn your attention to a single sound in your environment. Choose one specific sound and commit to focusing solely on it throughout the meditation. As you listen, observe the nuances: subtle shifts in pitch, volume, duration, and repetition. If distractions arise, simply smile and gently guide your focus back to the sound.
Continue to maintain this focused attention on your chosen sound until you hear the final bell, signaling the end of this meditation. Be kind to yourself, and remember that distractions are natural; calmly redirect your focus as often as needed.
Enjoy this peaceful experience in the Yoga of Sound.
