About this session
- Settles the mind
- Deepens meditation
- Brings inner peace
- Softens early mornings
Lament is a five-minute soundscape by Iftekharul Anam, made to sit beside your morning meditation rather than lead it. Nobody speaks and there is no technique to learn. You simply let the reflective sound hold the space while your attention settles on its own, at whatever pace suits you.
It suits anyone who wants a few quiet minutes before the phone, the news and the to-do list arrive. Use it as the backdrop for an early sit, a short pause with your tea, or a gentle bridge into a longer meditation when you want to go a little deeper.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What am I actually supposed to do while Lament plays?
Nothing in particular. There is no voice, so there are no steps or instructions. Sit comfortably, let the sound fill the room, and bring your own practice to it, whether that is following your breath or simply resting and listening.
Why is it recommended for early morning?
It is a calm, reflective piece, which pairs well with the quiet before the day gets going. Listening then gives you a gentle start and a settled feeling to carry forward, before messages and plans compete for your attention.
How can it help me meditate more deeply?
The sound gives your mind something soft to rest on, so it is easier to stay with your practice. Because nothing is being said, you are free to go inward without following along, and the track works as a steady backdrop.
It is only five minutes. Is that enough?
Five minutes is a good length for a short morning pause or for opening a longer sit. If you want more time, you can play it again, or let it begin your session and continue in silence afterwards.
