In this very brief episode of the Hopeful Humanist Café, I will showcase what I will simultaneously call a "Sound-Story" & "Audio-Sound-Blot." The episode is simply a listening experience. One might just sit back and get comfortable or grab one's journal and open up to the possibility of an imaginative outpouring.
As a "Sound-Story," the invitation is simply to listen to the collection of sounds so one can string together a story about what is happening. I see it as a possible prompt for one's daily journaling exercise. Using your imagination, what story do the sounds tell you? Listen and write.
As an "Audio-Sound Blot," the invitation is simply to quiet one's monkey mind, breath, be and just "notice." Listen and ground. Use your breath to calm both your body and your inner world.
The track is 5 minutes and 39 seconds long. It is created from 13 different sounds. Can you identify them all? It was a lot of fun to make. My youngest son, Blazing Phoenix, who is definitely not a morning person, has found it useful in helping him get up in the morning. He will migrate from his comfortable bed to the living room couch. In the dimly lit room, he will cuddle up in his favourite blanket, listen to the track, and challenge himself to gear up for the start of his day by the time the track runs through. It has become a part of our morning routine. If it works, use it, right!
