What you'll practise
- Quiet Threshold — An imagined threshold where the day's noise is left behind before prayer begins.
- Slow Reading — A short passage of your choosing, read three times, slower each time, with silence between.
- Breath Prayer — A short phrase of your own, half on the in-breath and half on the out-breath.
- Evening Review — The day looked over gently from morning to now, with one thanks and one thing set down.
- Carried Names — The people you carry, named one at a time, each followed by silence.
- Open Silence — Long silent prayer with only a few cues, begun with a line of your own.

About the sound
Each session layers soft tone pairs, one in each ear, over a gentle noise bed, with a voice guiding you. Research on binaural beats is mixed; we publish both sides.
