Tune in with yourself, and the sounds around you to find the calm you are looking for.

There are various ways to find music, sounds and rhythms in our daily lives. There may be rhythms, beats and lyrics out there waiting to connect with you. When you’re alone in the car at a traffic light, or before you head inside to your next meeting, or maybe you find a park, take one minute to sit in silence. Is there traffic, feet hitting the pavement, birds? Do these different sounds stimulate tension or relaxation for you? Pay attention to the sounds, and your reactions. Sit outside for five minutes, and notice the sounds.Gently welcome your attention back to the song you chose. Find a comfortable sitting or lying posture, close your eyes, and listen only to the song.
