I sit in a circle of silence, breathing two slow counts in, two slow counts out, and let each inhale be a tiny tug pulling the music back to its center, just like the way a blue sock can’t stand next to a neon green one without throwing off the whole set. When the melody feels off‑center, I imagine it as a pebble rolling off a perfectly balanced surface, and I gently nudge it back with a breath, then a stretch, then a quiet, almost imperceptible sigh of release. The key is to listen to the space between notes, not just the notes themselves, and treat each pause like a tiny mirror that reflects and corrects the rhythm. That’s how I keep my vibes in sync while the world is a little askew.
