Guided audio is a recording that leads you through a practice while you participate. In I AWAKE, my recorded guidance brings my voice together with music composed especially for this universe, alongside the words you read and the responses you write.
You can put the instructions down. Listen. Notice what happens when you aren’t also trying to remember the next step.
The voice isn’t reading every page back to you.
The accompanying practice recordings and a fully narrated audiobook are different things.
In each guided seven-day book of The Sensual Hero’s Journey™, my opening guided exercise comes before the day’s reading, writing and body map. My closing guided exercise follows. Their deliberate pace, pauses and sequence are designed to help the nervous system settle and make room to notice bodily responses alongside thought and feeling. You can also choose separate background music on the course platform to carry the atmosphere into reading and reflection. After the seven-day sequence, there is a Circle imaginal journey and a separate longer practice to use again.
The Creative Hero’s Journey and the Hidden Hero’s Journey have their own listening points, introduced in the relevant book.
Follow the guidance for the title you are using, even when your bookshelf includes several series. Mixing books doesn’t require forcing all their practices into the same timetable.
The Circle explains the imaginal encounter. Body map shows how sensation can be recorded beside your written response.
