Anahat Naad Meditation: How to Hear the Inner Sound (7-Step Guide)

Imagine hearing a celestial sound that dissolves all stress - this is Anahat Naad, the divine inner vibration. As a practitioner for [X] years and author of "Awakening with Anahat Naad," I'll guide you through 7 simple steps to experience this profound meditation technique.

What is Anahat Naad?

Anahat Naad (or "unstruck sound") is the eternal vibration heard in deep meditation. Ancient yogis described it as resembling flute notes, ocean waves, or temple bells - a gateway to higher consciousness.

7 Steps to Hear Anahat Naad

Step 1: Prepare Your Space

Choose a quiet place, ideally during ambrosial hours (3-6am). Sit in Siddhasana (perfect pose) with spine straight.

Step 2: The Ear Plug Technique

Gently plug your ears with thumbs, resting index fingers on forehead. This amplifies inner sounds.

Step 3: Focus Between Eyebrows

Concentrate at the third eye while listening intently inward.

Step 4: The 4-4-4 Breath

Inhale for 4 counts → Hold for 4 → Exhale for 4. Repeat 7 times to calm mind chatter.

Step 5: Initial Sounds

You may hear ringing, buzzing, or whooshing first. This is normal!

Step 6: The Divine Resonance

With practice, subtler sounds emerge - like distant bells or OM vibrations.

Step 7: Merge with the Sound

Let the sound absorb your awareness completely. Time may seem to stop.

My First Experience

After 21 days of practice, I suddenly heard what resembled a golden flute playing in the distance. Tears streamed down - I'd found the "sound of silence" my guru described.

What Is Anahat Nad? Meaning, Benefits & How to Hear It

  đŸŒŋ Introduction Have you ever heard a sound in silence? A hum, a ring, a vibration—yet with no source? This mysterious sound has been described by mystics for centuries. In yogic traditions, it's called Anahat Nad — the unstruck sound that echoes within our being. 🧘‍♀️ What Is Anahat Nad? Anahat Nad (ā¤…ā¤¨ाā¤šā¤¤ ā¤¨ाā¤Ļ) comes from Sanskrit: Anahat = unstruck, not caused by contact Nad = sound or vibration Unlike external sounds, which come from two objects striking, Anahat Nad arises from within. It's a spiritual frequency — not heard with the ears, but perceived inwardly through meditation. 📚 What the Mystics Say Upanishads speak of Nada Brahma – the ultimate reality as sound. Sufis call it Saut-e-Sarmadi , the eternal inner voice. Christian saints describe the “inner bell” or “Word of God.” These all refer to the same sacred phenomenon — the inner sound current. 🧘‍♂️ How to Hear Anahat Nad Step-by-step practice: Sit in a quiet place with...

As weeks passed, the single tone became a symphony - sometimes like a celestial choir, other times like rain on ancient temple bells..." 3 Transformations I Never Expected 1.

Sound vs. Silence – What the Mystics Knew

Posted
  đŸŒŋ Introduction Is the goal of meditation silence — or sound? This question shaped my own path. The answer lies not in either/or, but in both . Sound and silence are not opposites. They are two gates leading to the same Source. 🧘‍♀️ What Is Silence in Meditation? Silence is not the absence of sound. It is the absence of noise — thought noise, emotional storms, inner chatter. It is the still canvas. 🎧 What Is Anahat Nad? Anahat Nad is the eternal vibration — the inner sound that arises in silence. It's not created. It's always playing. Only when the mind quiets does it become perceptible. 📜 What the Mystics Said Rumi : “There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.” Kabir : “The sound of the divine resonates through the inner sky.” The Bible : “In the beginning was the Word…” Mystics across cultures heard the same truth: sound lives inside silence. 📘 Book Insight In Awakening with Anahat Nad , I describe this paradox: “When silence becomes d...
