Anton, I think you mean “than staying”…There’s no more grim a fate that saying permanently stuck…❤️🙌

Hi Anton,

Your seven-day meditation journey sounds intense and transformative — what an incredible experience! I can totally relate to the emotional rollercoaster you described. Meditation has a way of bringing up everything that’s buried deep within us, and it’s through facing those moments that we truly grow. It’s not always easy, but it’s powerful. 💫

In my own work, I explore a slightly different approach — using music as a path into mindfulness. Sometimes, we don’t need silence to meditate; instead, we can use music as an anchor to focus and allow emotions to arise without judgment. Music can be the space where we meet ourselves, just like your breath was in your journey. 🎶

If you’re curious about how sound and music can guide you into mindfulness without the intensity you experienced, I’ve written an article about Soundscape Meditation and how it can serve as an accessible form of meditation. I’d love for you to take a look and see how this approach might speak to your own practice. Read the article here.

Thank you for sharing your story, Anton. It’s always inspiring to see others push through such deep emotional experiences and come out the other side with more wisdom.

in quiet strength and sound,

Afterforever ✨🎵
