This means that if anyone has a very strong aversion to a track, they can leave the room for a bit. For a group session, I advise having a quiet room. When in groups or with friends, decide the playlist together beforehand. This allows for continuity of experience if/when the headphones are taken off and also allows the opportunity to remove the headphones if one prefers. This is a tip I picked up from Mendel Kaelen back in 2017 and still use to this day. If possible, have the music playing simultaneously through headphones and speakers from the same signal. You might consider noise cancelling headphones. I would recommend high quality over ear headphones for immersion in the experience, especially if you are in a location where there might be background noise or distracting sounds. It should not be overbearing or too strong, but loud enough to be immersive. Ideally the music should be at a comfortably loud volume at the loudest sections. Check both loud and quiet sections of the playlist. Sound Set upĬheck and set your sound levels before the start of the session so it is ready to go. Once everything is ready and you’ve checked in, you can start the playlist and take your dose. It can be helpful to have a short period of silent meditation between setup and dosing to centre before the journey begins. I have found it is nice to put on some music beforehand whilst preparing the space, to set the mood and begin the process of entering.

I also recommend downloading 1-3 hours of pre/post session music so you have something to put on before/after and can be offline for the entire day. If you have a mac, make sure your Facetime is disconnected and there won’t be any calls coming through. Like with a phone, I suggest downloading the playlist offline and then disconnecting from the wifi. If you need to leave anything open, make sure there are no applications other than the audio player that can make a noise (like dings from messages received or calls coming in.

If using your computer to play the tracks, close all applications other than the music player. Then for the session, put your phone on flight mode.
