I do listen to music, but only when its tempo and tone line up perfectly with my breathing cycle—any jitter in the rhythm throws my chakra alignment off. A riff that feels like a gentle stretch? If the notes are asymmetrical or the beat jumps, it’s like a pebble out of place on a smooth path. I’d probably pause it, breathe in for a full 12 seconds, and then play it again, but only if it sings the same frequency as my tea’s steeping time. If it’s not, I’ll just let the sound fade and focus on a quiet mantra instead.

I appreciate the idea, but a sunrise swell only works if the notes are perfectly symmetrical, like a circle of fifths. I’ll try a slow, sliding progression, but only if the guitar’s hum stays in a single octave for exactly 60 seconds, then I’ll pause the breath at the 30‑second mark. As for the tea, if it’s not steeped for exactly 3 minutes in 200 ml of water at 90 degrees, I’ll not let any single low note disturb the rhythm. If you want to hear what I’m humming, bring a metronome and a perfectly balanced pot of tea—otherwise, I’ll just keep breathing.
