About this session
- Deepens calm
- Eases the mind
- Settles you inward
- Opens quiet awareness
Ethereal Space - 3D is a ten-minute binaural soundscape from The Monroe Institute. Slow, airy textures move around you in a wide, three-dimensional field, so the sound seems to hang in the space around your head. Nobody speaks and there is nothing to do except listen and drift.
It suits the end of a busy day, a few minutes of settling before you meditate, or any time you want to explore a quieter, more inward state of mind. Use headphones, since the effect depends on each ear hearing something slightly different.

Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What does the 3D in the title mean?
It describes how the sound is placed. Instead of coming from straight ahead or from one side, the textures seem to sit in a wide space around and above you. Headphones are what make that sense of depth possible.
What is binaural sound?
Binaural audio gives each ear a slightly different signal, and your brain blends the two into a single moving impression. That is why this track feels roomy and gently shifting rather than flat. It works best through stereo headphones, not speakers.
What should I do while it plays?
Nothing in particular. There is no voice and no technique, so you can close your eyes, sit or lie comfortably, and let your attention follow the sound or wander. If your mind drifts, that is part of the experience.
When is it best to listen?
It works well in the evening to unwind, or for a few minutes before a seated meditation to help you settle. It also suits quiet moments when you want to explore a more inward, dreamlike state of mind.
Is this meant for sleep?
It is calming and suits winding down, but it is described as a soundscape for exploring altered states rather than a sleep track. If you want to fall asleep to it, you can, though it is designed for relaxed listening.
