Frequently Asked Questions
What are inner sounds?
Subtle sounds that emerge in stillness—often described as bells, flute, thunder, or buzzing. They're not imaginative but directly perceived.
Is this related to tinnitus?
Some inner sounds differ from tinnitus, which is typically constant. Nada yoga works with sounds that emerge in deep listening.
Do I need musical training?
No musical background is needed. It's about deep listening, not musicianship.
How do I find a teacher?
Nada yoga is less common than other practices. Look for teachers in traditional yoga or tantra lineages, or start with recorded guidance.
Can this help with noise sensitivity?
Paradoxically, working with sound consciously often reduces reactivity to noise. The relationship with sound changes.
How long until I hear inner sounds?
Some people hear them quickly; others take time. Regular practice in quiet environments helps.
