You can also select a single location and activity if you only have a few moments between classes.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Activity 4: Sound Meditation<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find a comfortable seat and close your eyes or lower your gaze to the ground a few feet ahead of you. Lengthen and slow your breath, and notice the sound you make as you inhale and exhale. What other sounds does your body make as you shift in your seat or move?<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, bring your attention from your body to the space immediately surrounding you. What do you hear happening around you? Take a moment just to observe. Then, envision the ways those sounds are connected to you. Perhaps the sound of voices links you to the community you live in, or the sound of wind in the trees reminds you that plants give you oxygen to breathe. Visualize the web of connectedness created by the sounds around you.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, focus on what you can hear, but not see in your immediate environment. What sounds are coming from the distance? Repeat visualizing how those sounds (such as far away traffic or music) or beings are connected to you, even from afar.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Activity 4 Location:<\/strong> Star Fountain between Jordan Hall and the Irwin Library<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image  is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/23\/2023\/03\/08104717\/22-HRC-9452-Ecotherapy-Map_Route2.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2c90304e wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-text-link-blue-medium\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/well-being\/ecotherapy-at-butler\/route-2\/route-2-activity-5-7-linking-breath-and-movement\/\">Route 2: Activity 5-7: Linking Breath and Movement<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":0,"parent":3145,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3699","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"revision_note":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v28.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Route 2: Activity 4: Sound Meditation | Butler University<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/well-being\/ecotherapy-at-butler\/route-2\/route-2-activity-4-sound-meditation\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Route 2: Activity 4: Sound Meditation\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/well-being\/ecotherapy-at-butler\/route-2\/route-2-activity-4-sound-meditation\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Well-Being\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/butleruniversity\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-01-19T14:23:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/03\/22-HRC-9452-Ecotherapy-Map_Route2.png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@butleru\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.butler.edu\\\/well-being\\\/ecotherapy-at-butler\\\/route-2\\\/route-2-activity-4-sound-meditation\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.butler.edu\\\/well-being\\\/ecotherapy-at-butler\\\/route-2\\\/route-2-activity-4-sound-meditation\\\/\",\"name\":\"Route 2: Activity 4: Sound Meditation | Butler University\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.butler.edu\\\/well-being\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.butler.edu\\\/well-being\\\/ecotherapy-at-butler\\\/route-2\\\/route-2-activity-4-sound-meditation\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.butler.edu\\\/well-being\\\/ecotherapy-at-butler\\\/route-2\\\/route-2-activity-4-sound-meditation\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.butler.edu\\\/well-being\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/23\\\/2023\\\/03\\\/22-HRC-9452-Ecotherapy-Map_Route2.png\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-08-30T18:42:05+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-01-19T14:23:41+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.butler.edu\\\/well-being\\\/ecotherapy-at-butler\\\/route-2\\\/route-2-activity-4-sound-meditation\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.butler.edu\\\/well-being\\\/ecotherapy-at-butler\\\/route-2\\\/route-2-activity-4-sound-meditation\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.butler.edu\\\/well-being\\\/ecotherapy-at-butler\\\/route-2\\\/route-2-activity-4-sound-meditation\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.butler.edu\\\/www\\\/sites\\\/23\\\/2023\\\/03\\\/08104717\\\/22-HRC-9452-Ecotherapy-Map_Route2.png\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.butler.edu\\\/www\\\/sites\\\/23\\\/2023\\\/03\\\/08104717\\\/22-HRC-9452-Ecotherapy-Map_Route2.png\",\"width\":1650,\"height\":1275,\"caption\":\"map graphic reading thirty minute paved trail mobility device accessible. step one is moment to arrive meditation near starbucks entrance.
