How to Hear the Inner Sound – Simple Techniques for Beginners

Posted

 

🌿 Introduction

You don’t need to be a yogi or monk to hear the inner sound. The Anahat Nad is available to everyone — if you're willing to listen. In this post, let’s explore easy ways to start.

🔑 Preparation

Before you begin:

  • Choose a quiet time (early morning is best)

  • Sit in a comfortable position with spine straight

  • Keep your mind open and your heart calm

🎧 3 Simple Techniques to Try

🔸 1. Shanmukhi Mudra (Closing the Senses)

Cover ears, eyes, nostrils and mouth gently with your fingers. This cuts external distractions and lets you tune inward.

🔸 2. Inner Ear Awareness

Simply close your eyes and focus on the “sound behind the ears.” Notice if there’s a hum, a buzz, or any subtle tone.

🔸 3. Soham Awareness

Inhale thinking “So,” exhale thinking “Ham.” This ancient sound mantra helps calm the mind and sharpen your inner listening.

🧘‍♂️ Practice Tips

  • Start with 10 minutes daily

  • Don’t force the sound — allow it to arise

  • Be consistent, patient, and open

📘 Book Reference

This technique is described in detail in Chapter 5 of Awakening with Anahat Nad. The key is not effort, but surrender.

🧭 Bonus Tip: Use Earplugs

Many Nad Yogis use simple earplugs to reduce outer noise. This makes inner vibration easier to detect.

🙏 Conclusion

The inner sound doesn’t need to be created — it needs to be discovered. You already have the ability to hear it. Begin now, and let silence guide you home.

I'm Niran Bodhi—meditator, writer, and explorer of the sacred sound within. I’m the author of Awakening with Anahat Nad: A Practical Guide to Inner Sound Meditation, a book born from decades of personal practice, silence, and listening to the unstruck sound known as Anahat Nad. This blog is a heartfelt extension of that journey. Here, I share the teachings and techniques of Nad Yoga, meditative tools, reflections from my path, and inspiration from mystic traditions around the world. Whether you're just beginning to sit in silence or are deep in your practice, may these writings support your unfolding. The inner sound is always playing. The question is: are we quiet enough to hear it? �� With love and inner peace,

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

Posted
  🌿 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 (अनाहत नाद) 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...

My Anahat Naad Awakening: A Personal Journey (+ Book Excerpts) I'll never forget the day the universe sang to me. After years as a meditation skeptic, Anahat Naad transformed my life - and became the inspiration for my book. Here's my story. The Day Everything Changed It was my 37th day attempting this practice. As I sat frustrated before dawn, ready to quit, it happened - a single pure note, like a Himalayan singing bowl, resonating from what seemed like the center of my skull. Excerpt from "Awakening with Anahat Naad" " Chapter 3: The First Note That initial sound was just the overture. 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. Anxiety → Deep Peace My chronic worry dissolved as the inner sound became my anchor. 2. Creative Floodgates Opened The book wrote itself in 3 months durin...

Sound vs. Silence – What the Mystics Knew

Posted
  🌿 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...
