Teachers of meditation have all kinds of suggestions for how to calm the monkey mind.
Some use a mantra
Some use the breath
Some suggest focusing on a sound
Recently, during a stay in Palm Springs, I was able to create my own little floating meditation practice. I would drop my rear end into a pool donut, close my eyes, and just listen to the sound of the running water for 30 minutes. Heaven.
Here’s a little ASMR for you to enjoy.
