Hello Nixie 🦊 out sick Author Icon,

Thanks for sharing your story with us! This review is part of "a very Wodehouse challengeOpen in new Window..

I think it's so cool that you wrote a story about binaural beats and deep meditation. I've never been super fond of meditation myself because my mind tends to do what Anna's is doing in this story - it wanders. As part of a religious studies course one semester, I had to go to a Buddhist meditation temple and meditate. I was surprised at how different it was to do a guided meditation. I felt so calm and sleepy after.

Since then, I've gotten more into things like binaural beats and listening to calming, relaxing beats when I'm trying to do deep breathing exercises or meditate. It really does help!

I love the way you describe this out-of-body experience for Anna. Being so deeply within the meditation that she detaches from the reality of the situation. I like the ending as well because these things do take time and it's unrealistic for it to always work out immediately. The point is being able to move a step closer each time and eventually rid yourself of those negative energies or critical voices.

Thanks for the interesting read and for the link!
