Before you press play
A Small Listening Ritual
Make the click itself a threshold.
Place one hand lightly over the centre of the chest.
Let the jaw soften and take one unforced breath.
Notice the sounds already around you before adding any new sound.
Choose one piece and listen without trying to force an experience.
When the piece ends, give yourself one quiet breath before moving on.
