Most people are accustomed to negative thinking, and as a result, things don’t work out, which leads to more negative thinking, trapping them in a negative, pessimistic cycle. Your thoughts attract or repel what you want in life. The way you talk to yourself matters. Results stem from actions, and actions stem from thoughts.

Using the experiences of her patients along with the biographical stories of literary giants such as Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, and Marcel Proust, Miller shows how a child's humiliation, impotence, and bottled rage will manifest itself as adult illness - be it cancer, stroke, or other debilitating diseases.

Summary
In this sound bath experience, renowned sound therapist, meditation teacher, and author Sara Auster harnesses the power of peaceful sounds and quiet guidance to help calm your mind and relax your body before bed. Linger softly in the pre-slumber state as Sara helps you access a gentle transition into restful sleep. She will guide your breathing while playing a variety of soothing, overtone-emitting instruments, including tuning forks, crystal singing bowls, and more. Sara has specially designed these recordings with the intention for rest and, ultimately, sleep.
In order to get the most out of your listening experience, she recommends you dim the lights and lie down or sit in a comfortable position with an eye mask and a blanket, silence any alerts or notifications, and use earphones. These things allow you to completely unplug and connect with the present moment to intentionally prepare for sleep. Your body has permission to slow down and rest, to receive without the need to respond or react.
Begin your experience by focusing on your breath, then allow yourself to drift into a spacious and dreamlike state. All you have to do is arrive with an open mind, and listen.
Sara Auster is the leading voice in sound bath experiences, and considered a pioneer and master of the form. Sara has been featured in The New York Times, Vogue, TIME, and O, The Oprah Magazine, and she has facilitated large-scale, site-specific sound bath experiences at iconic venues around the world including the Museum of Modern Art, Madison Square Garden, Palais de Tokyo, and SummerStage in Central Park. Her live sound bath events are celebrated as transformative, therapeutic experiences for balance, relaxation, and well-being. We’re thrilled to be able to bring this unique sound experience to the comfort of your own bedroom for the first time.

Set me on edge
The background noise made me feel like I was having my teeth drilled. Not relaxing at all. I am noise sensitive and it just went right through my body. I feel I could possibly have listened without that, but had to give up after about two minutes.

This gave me the heebeegeebees. Designed by someone who hasn't a musical bone in their body, the tones are just irritating and at odds with anything that I consider to represent relaxation. I really didn't enjoy the experience at all.

The sound is too much
I gave it a shot, figuring it was just probably some old geezers complaining about the noise, but it really is annoying. Could’ve achieved a more relaxing tone with a better thought out synth. Anyway, just breathe through your left nostril for 10 minutes is the basic idea.
