About this session
- Deepens meditation
- Quiets the mind
- Creates morning calm
- Supports a Zen state
This is an eight-minute soundscape with no voice and no instructions, built around a 6Hz theta binaural tone by Gabriel Loynaz. Binaural tones work through headphones, with a slightly different pitch in each ear. You simply sit, listen, and let the steady sound become your anchor.
It suits anyone who wants a quiet start to the day before messages and plans arrive. Use it early in the morning as a backdrop for your own sitting practice, or return to it in the evening when you want to slow down and unwind.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What does the 6Hz in the title mean?
6Hz refers to the frequency of the theta tone the track is built around. Theta is the range often associated with deep relaxation and meditative states. Here it is offered as a sound to sit with, not a promise of any particular result.
Why do I need headphones for a binaural track?
Binaural sound relies on each ear receiving a slightly different tone, which only works when the channels are kept separate. Speakers blend them together in the room, so headphones give you the sound as it was designed.
What do I do during a track with no voice?
Nothing is asked of you. Sit comfortably, let your attention rest on the sound, and when your mind wanders, return to the tone. You can also use it as a background to your own practice, such as following your breath.
Why is it best in the early morning?
The morning is often the quietest part of the day, before demands arrive, so it is an easy time to slow down. A short eight-minute sit sets a calm tone for what follows. It also works later in the day when you want to unwind.
How is this different from a guided meditation?
There are no words, no visualisations and no instructions here. The sound itself is the focus, which leaves you free to meditate in your own way and at your own pace.
