#5 Day 5 of 5 Meditation Challenge
Did you know most of how we take in the world comes through our eyes and ears? 👀👂That also means they’re the biggest sources of distraction. Here’s how much of our sensory input usually comes from each sense: - 👀 Sight: ~80% - 👂 Hearing: ~10–11% - ✋ Touch: ~1.5–2% - 👃 Smell: ~3–4% - 👅 Taste: ~1% 👉 Simply closing your eyes gives your brain a break. It’s restful, reduces stress, and is a win even if you’re not “meditating” yet. Next is sound. Silence can be rare, but sound carries vibration — and different sounds carry different vibrations. Tibetan sound bowls are wonderful because their tones create harmonic overtones that can calm the nervous system and promote deep relaxation. 🕉️✨ 🎧 Today’s suggestion: try with earphones, not just speakers in the room. Let yourself be fully immersed and notice how your body feels. 💡 Fun fact about me: at my most unhealthy time, I couldn’t even listen to these sounds. They actually felt painful — as if my body was so out of alignment it couldn’t match the vibration. Over time, I pushed past that, and now sound meditation is one of my favorite practices. It still fascinates me how something so simple can feel so magical. ✨ As usual, come back and tell us how you did in the comments. Sending you all lots of positive vibes. https://youtu.be/yEP2YrD-dyY?si=ow_mJDsTtHA2juZW
