Dissolving Into Sound

Before we begin, find a comfortable position — lying down is ideal for this session, with your arms resting naturally at your sides, palms facing upward or downward, whichever feels right. You can also sit if that's more comfortable, with your hands resting gently on your lap. This session is designed to be listened to with music playing softly in the background — something instrumental, ambient, or whatever music you love most. Choose something without lyrics if possible, so the sound can move through you freely. You may close your eyes right now, before I even begin. This session works by guiding your awareness directly into physical sensation — we won't be doing a lot of thinking or analyzing. Instead, you'll simply be invited to feel. To notice. To let your body become the instrument. This is a safe and natural state. You cannot get stuck, and you are always in control. If at any point you need to return to full waking awareness, you simply open your eyes and stretch. But for now, let your eyes close, let the music begin if it hasn't already, and allow yourself to arrive fully in this moment.

Feel the weight of your body against the surface supporting you. [5 second pause] Notice the temperature of the air on your skin. [5 second pause] Not warm, not cold — just there. [4 second pause] Present. [6 second pause] And now notice sound. [4 second pause] Whatever sound is reaching you right now — the music, the ambient hum of the room, the quiet beneath it all. [5 second pause] Don't think about it. [3 second pause] Just let it land on you. [6 second pause] Feel it the way you feel air — not grasped, not analyzed, just received. [5 second pause] Your hands are resting. [3 second pause] Your jaw is soft. [4 second pause] Your eyes are closed and they want to stay that way. [6 second pause] Press your palms gently into the surface beneath you. [3 second pause] Feel that contact. [4 second pause] That pressure. [5 second pause] And now notice — beneath your palms — there is vibration. [5 second pause] The faintest hum of the world. [4 second pause] It was always there. [6 second pause] You are already feeling it. [5 second pause] That's right. [6 second pause] Your body knows exactly how to do this. It has always known. [7 second pause] Let your palms relax now, and as they soften, feel that vibration spread. [5 second pause] Up through your wrists. [4 second pause] Into your forearms. [5 second pause] Moving slowly, like the first wave of warmth from a fire. [6 second pause] You're already going somewhere. [5 second pause] Somewhere deeper. [8 second pause]

Imagine for a moment that your body is not solid. [5 second pause] That it is made — not of bone and muscle — but of water. [5 second pause] Still water. [4 second pause] Deep water. [6 second pause] And the music playing around you — those tones, those rhythms — they are falling into you like stones dropped into a still lake. [6 second pause] Each note creates a ripple. [4 second pause] Each beat sends a wave outward from the center of your chest. [5 second pause] You don't have to do anything. [4 second pause] The water does it all. [6 second pause] Feel the first wave now — starting at your sternum, that soft hollow at the center of your chest. [5 second pause] A pulse. [4 second pause] A gentle expansion. [5 second pause] Like a heartbeat, but wider. [6 second pause] It moves outward toward your ribs. [4 second pause] Toward your shoulders. [4 second pause] Down toward your belly. [6 second pause] And then it reaches the edges of you — your fingertips, the soles of your feet — and it doesn't stop there. [5 second pause] It keeps going. [4 second pause] Out beyond your skin. [5 second pause] Into the air. [6 second pause] You are not just hearing the music. [4 second pause] You are becoming part of it. [8 second pause] And this is the place we begin. [6 second pause]

With every breath you take, your body becomes more fluid. [5 second pause] More open. [4 second pause] More receptive to sound. [6 second pause] Ten. [8 second pause] Feel the music touch the surface of your skin. [6 second pause] Nine. [8 second pause] Sinking deeper into the sound. [6 second pause] Eight. [8 second pause] Your body softening like warm wax. [6 second pause] Seven. [8 second pause] The boundary between you and the music growing thinner. [6 second pause] Six. [8 second pause] Every beat resonating through your chest like a bell that has just been struck. [6 second pause] Five. [8 second pause] Halfway there. Halfway dissolved. [6 second pause] Four. [10 second pause] The music is inside you now. Moving through you. [8 second pause] Three. [10 second pause] Deeper. Quieter. More open than before. [8 second pause] Two. [10 second pause] Almost completely dissolved into the sound. [8 second pause] One. [12 second pause] There. [8 second pause] You are the music now. [10 second pause]

Notice the bass frequencies first. [5 second pause] Those low, rolling tones that you don't just hear — you feel them. [5 second pause] In your chest. [4 second pause] In your belly. [4 second pause] In the bones of your jaw. [6 second pause] Your body is a resonance chamber, perfectly designed to receive sound. [6 second pause] Every cell in your body has always been capable of this. [5 second pause] And now, in this state, you allow it fully. [8 second pause] Feel the rhythm of the music like a tide. [5 second pause] It comes in — and your body expands to meet it. [5 second pause] It pulls back — and your body releases. [6 second pause] In. [4 second pause] And out. [4 second pause] Expand. [4 second pause] Release. [6 second pause] You are not resisting the sound. [4 second pause] You are not analyzing it. [4 second pause] You are simply letting it move through you, the way wind moves through tall grass. [8 second pause] And as it moves through you, something loosens. [5 second pause] Something that was held — perhaps for a long time — begins to let go. [6 second pause] It doesn't matter what it is. [4 second pause] The music knows. [4 second pause] Your body knows. [6 second pause] Let the sound carry it. [8 second pause] Now bring your awareness to your hands. [5 second pause] Feel the music arrive there — in the tips of your fingers — like a soft electric pulse. [6 second pause] Tingling. [4 second pause] Alive. [4 second pause] Vibrating at the same frequency as the sound. [6 second pause] Your hands are instruments. [4 second pause] Your whole body is an instrument. [5 second pause] And the music is playing you as much as you are receiving it. [8 second pause] Now feel it in your feet. [5 second pause] The rhythm grounding you, anchoring you to the earth below. [5 second pause] Each beat a pulse of connection. [4 second pause] Each wave of sound a reminder that you are here. [4 second pause] Fully here. [4 second pause] Fully alive. [4 second pause] Fully feeling. [8 second pause] And now — allow yourself to dissolve completely. [6 second pause] There is no body. [4 second pause] There is no room. [4 second pause] There is only sound. [5 second pause] Moving. [4 second pause] Breathing. [4 second pause] Pulsing. [4 second pause] Alive. [10 second pause] This is yours. [5 second pause] This experience belongs to you. [5 second pause] And it becomes more available to you every single time you listen to music. [6 second pause] From this moment forward, music is not something you hear from a distance. [5 second pause] It is something that moves through you, like waves through water. [5 second pause] Completely. [4 second pause] Naturally. [4 second pause] Effortlessly. [10 second pause]

Imagine a moment in the near future — you put on your headphones, or you sit down in a quiet room, and you press play. [5 second pause] And the moment the first note arrives, you feel it. [5 second pause] Not just in your ears — in your chest. [4 second pause] In your belly. [4 second pause] In your skin. [6 second pause] Your body remembers this. [4 second pause] It knows how to open. [4 second pause] And it does — immediately, naturally, without effort. [8 second pause] See yourself there — eyes closed, body soft, a quiet smile perhaps — completely dissolved into the sound. [6 second pause] The music moving through you like weather. [5 second pause] Like light through water. [6 second pause] You are not trying to feel it. [4 second pause] You simply do. [8 second pause] And now imagine a different moment — perhaps you are at a concert, or in a car, or walking somewhere with music in your ears. [5 second pause] And a song comes on that you love. [5 second pause] And instead of just hearing it — you feel every wave of it move through your body. [5 second pause] The bass in your chest. [4 second pause] The melody in your throat. [4 second pause] The rhythm in your feet. [6 second pause] You are not separate from the music. [4 second pause] You are inside it. [4 second pause] It is inside you. [8 second pause] And in those moments, something shifts. [5 second pause] Whatever you were carrying — stress, tension, the noise of the day — it dissolves along with you. [5 second pause] The music becomes medicine. [4 second pause] And your body knows exactly how to receive it. [10 second pause]

Gently now, very gently, begin to return. [5 second pause] The music is still with you. [4 second pause] It will always be with you. [5 second pause] But begin to feel the edges of your body again. [5 second pause] The weight of your arms. [4 second pause] The length of your legs. [4 second pause] The surface beneath you. [6 second pause] Take a slow breath in. [4 second pause] And as you exhale, feel yourself settle back into your body — like water finding its shape in a vessel. [6 second pause] You are whole. [4 second pause] You are here. [4 second pause] And you carry this experience with you. [6 second pause] I'm going to count from one to five now, and with each number, you return a little more to full waking awareness — feeling refreshed, clear, and deeply at ease. [4 second pause] One. [4 second pause] Awareness returning to the room around you. [4 second pause] Two. [4 second pause] A gentle energy moving through your fingers and toes. [4 second pause] Three. [4 second pause] Your mind becoming clear and bright, like sunlight on still water. [4 second pause] Four. [4 second pause] Taking a deeper breath now, feeling fully alive, fully present. [4 second pause] Five. [4 second pause] Eyes open when you're ready, feeling wonderful. [4 second pause]

Every time you listen to music from now on, your body opens more easily to the sound. [4 second pause] Each session like this one deepens that capacity. [4 second pause] You don't have to try — your body already knows the way. [6 second pause] Music is one of the oldest languages your nervous system has ever known. [5 second pause] And you are fluent in it. [6 second pause] Take a moment to appreciate what just happened. [4 second pause] You gave yourself the gift of full presence. [4 second pause] Of dissolution. [4 second pause] Of becoming sound. [6 second pause] That is always available to you. [4 second pause] Whenever you need it. [4 second pause] Whenever the music calls. [6 second pause] Take good care of yourself. [4 second pause] And enjoy the music. [4 second pause]
