Every body keeps time. Breath, heartbeat, the slow waves of digestion: each has its own tempo, and a hard week pushes all of them toward a rushed, ragged rhythm. As a musician, I hear the body’s rhythms like I hear an orchestra playing out of time with itself. These sessions help you come back into your rhythmic alignment again.

Most begin with the organizing power of your breath. Slow your breathing to five or six breaths a minute, and notice how the heart rate slows. (It’s a physiological phenomenon: slower breathing initiates slower heart rate.) Drop the day’s burdens from your mind. Imagine a golden cord descending from the base of your spine grounding deep into the earth. Rest a hand on your belly and ask of each sensation, “Is this mine to hold?” Let whatever isn’t yours ride out on the outgoing breath, and let the bowls carry the rest.

Some weeks ask for a reset more loudly than others. (The day before the session titled Frequency of Alignment, I broke two glass dishes—including a water carafe that split cleanly in two—not on accident, but by the current flowing incoherently through my space.) On those mornings the bowls tend to slow everything down: long tones, wide spaces, room to land. Sound knows how to find us.

Come as you are, wired or weary. Sit or lie down. Listen with your whole body, your pores and bones and heart, and know there is no right way to do this. Leave with a reset you can carry into any day: one hand on the belly, one slow breath, one long hum.
