3-Minute Video Meditation to Listen & Chill

At any given moment, there are a multitude of sounds going on around you, whether you're actively absorbing them or not. It can be tempting to block out certain sounds, especially if we struggle with noise sensitivities, or are trying to focus on work, studies, or trying to catch up on some sleep. Rather than writing most sounds off as distractions, open your mind to the sounds you hear and see how they can anchor you in the moment.

Try honing in on one particular sound at a time and see how it takes shape. Then do the same with another, and then another. With regular practice, today's meditation will help you see how sounds can actually ground you when you listen to them with intention and without judgment.
