Chair Leg Scrape
Best for: softening reactivity to everyday sounds
Chair Leg Scrape is a mindfulness session that uses small, unplanned sounds as the object of attention. You'll practise noticing a noise the moment it arrives, before the mind labels it, judges it, or builds a story around it. The technique trains a softer, less reactive relationship with the everyday interruptions most of us treat as friction. Useful for anyone who tenses at sudden sounds or finds the mind quick to comment on every small disturbance.

Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
