About this session
- Deepens relaxation
- Settles the mind
- Supports focus
- Softens the mood
Raag Bhupali is a classical Indian raga built from just five notes, which gives it a bright, settled mood. In Tahir Qawwal's two-minute rendition there is no voice and nothing to follow. You let the melody fill the room and notice how much space the music leaves around each phrase.
It suits short resets: unwinding after a long day, easing into focused work, or opening a team session with a calmer start. Because it is only two minutes, it fits between tasks, and you can play it again whenever you want a little more time with it.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What is a raga, and why does Bhupali use only five notes?
A raga is a melodic framework in Indian classical music, a set of notes and a mood that a musician explores. Raag Bhupali is built on five notes, and that small set is what gives it its bright, settled character. With so few notes, the melody feels uncluttered and easy to rest in.
Is there anything I need to do while listening?
No. There is no voice, no breathing instruction and no technique. You can sit quietly and listen, or let it play while you do something else. Simply letting the five notes fill the space is the whole practice.
Can I use it while working or at the start of a meeting?
Yes, that is one of its intended uses. Played softly, it can sit behind focused work, and it can give a team session a calmer opening. The music leaves space to breathe and think, so it does not compete with your thoughts.
The track is only two minutes. How do I get more from it?
Play it as a short reset between tasks, or repeat it a few times when you want a longer stretch of calm. Because it has no spoken guidance, repeating it does not break any flow. Try closing your eyes for the first listen and following just the melody.
