Phew! it’s been a bit of a hectic week for me so for this ✨Self Care Sunday✨ episode I just wanted to share a quick and easy little practice: listening to bilateral music for relaxation and stress relief.

Bilateral music is music with a sound that pans between left and right ears. This creates bilateral stimulation in the brain which can help with emotional processing and tends to have a soothing effect.
