Stress: Recommended when seeking to reduce states of stress or overload, facilitating a gradual slowing of the internal rhythm. -
Rest: Recommended for moments of physical or mental recovery, where an overall decrease in activity is sought without the need for total disconnection. -
Sleep: Promotes the transition to sleep by gradually reducing internal activation and synchronizing perception with slower rhythms..
Potential Physiological Effect
The irregular and unpredictable nature of the sound may promote a reduction in sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity within the autonomic nervous system (ANS), facilitating a gradual parasympathetic dominance. This type of stimulus can help stabilize the sensorimotor rhythm in states of low arousal.
Subjective experience
A feeling of calm and presence. The sound doesn't sweep you away or completely envelop you, but rather accompanies you from a stable and warm place.
Apparent correspondence (note + state)
