About this session
- Quiets the mind
- Deepens inner focus
- Supports intuition
- Settles the evening
This is an eight-minute sound with no spoken guidance, led by Gabriel Loynaz. It is built around one chanted vowel, the 'I', sounded again and again. You have nothing to follow or do. You simply rest your attention on the tone and let it carry you inward.
It suits evenings, when you want a quiet space before bed or a steady anchor for a longer sitting. Experienced meditators may find it a useful companion for deeper, more inward practice, but anyone curious about sound as a focus point can try it.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What am I actually listening to?
You hear a single vowel, the 'I', chanted and sustained throughout the eight minutes. There is no voice giving instructions, so the chanted tone is the whole experience. It gives your attention one simple thing to rest on.
What do I do while it plays?
Nothing in particular. Listen, and when your mind wanders, bring your attention back to the sound of the 'I'. You can sit or lie comfortably with your eyes closed. Some listeners may like to hum along quietly, but that is optional.
Why is it listed as advanced level?
With no guidance, the track leaves you to hold your own attention and stay with a repeated tone. That is easier if you already have some meditation practice. Beginners can still try it, ideally for a few minutes at first.
Why is it recommended for night?
A steady, inward sound suits the end of the day, when you want to let go of outside noise. It is made for stillness and focus rather than energy. Use it in your evening wind-down or before a longer sitting.
How is it different from a guided meditation?
A guided meditation tells you where to put your attention. Here the chanted vowel is the only guide. This makes it a good fit if you find spoken words distracting or want a quieter, more open practice.
