💡 Music Selection Tips
Pre-Listen
Always preview music before the journey. Familiarity provides comfort and prevents surprises.
Create Playlists
Build playlists for different phases. Avoid needing to choose music during the experience.
No Lyrics (Usually)
Instrumental music allows for personal meaning-making rather than imposed narratives.
Volume Control
Keep volume moderate. Music should support, not dominate the experience.
Smooth Transitions
Use crossfades between tracks to avoid jarring changes in mood or tempo.
Embrace Silence
Periods of silence can be powerful. Don't feel obligated to fill every moment with sound.
