No music, quiet, just listening to anything and everything you can. it can be your own footsteps — focus on your pace if you want. If there are birds near where you live I’d highly recommend the Merlin Bird ID app for birdsong identification. It’s crazy what simply existing in the presence of another living thing can do, especially when that something isn’t human. if you live in a city, listen for people’s laughter or children’s voices. When I feel all consuming sadness it often helps for me to get moving (I like hiking but I live in a place that allows it) but it also helps to listen, and in doing so imagining that I am the same as everything else — the birds, the air, the ground. It takes the pressure off existing.

Just try it! try cueing into the sounds of the trees and the birds etc, and you’d be surprised how much of your environment you dont see when you can’t hear it. My favourite way to get in touch with the universe

walk in nature, go to the park if possible. watch birds and other animals. take headphones and listen to some tunes if you'd like Also I'd recommend journaling or taking up any sort of writing. I may be biased b/c half of what I've been doing with my time lately has been poem writing, but taking up creative writing is so fun and full of endless possibilities. Best part is you don't have to show anyone if you don't want to b/c at the end of the day, you're ideally doing it for the joy of creation and the love of the game.

try to tune everything out and listen for the subtle sounds you normally ignore - it will get you right

I’ll eat up anything she does but there’s nothing that makes me feel more alive than a song that has me wanting to shake ass and cry at the same time (especially in the summer when I can roll down the windows of my car). 🎶🎷🐛🕺🕺🕺
