Sound Without Naming

13 min

Best for: overthinking and mental commentary

Sound Without Naming is a practice in pure hearing. You'll notice how quickly the mind labels every sound, car, voice, bird, and learn to rest in the millisecond before the label lands. By staying with raw sound rather than the word for it, attention softens and the world becomes more immediate. A grounding practice for anyone caught in mental commentary.
