The Threshold
Picture
When in the threshold
We are in the familiar
And within the bounds
of our relative comfort

When on the threshold
We stand in between a place
And another place
In a liminal 
s p a c e
Riding on the edge
of our experience


May we
Enter and Explore
the thresholds of our thresholds
and find and dance with our sparks of
courage and creativity

- Yeon-Hee Yim

Purpose

This track is a potent twenty-two iterations of a song with two parts that is meant to serve as  a 'Musical Mantra' for personal process work. 
Director's Note: Traditionally, mantras are chanted phrases that can be repeated for extended lengths of time to affect our biorhythms and neurobiology. This song is an example of how intentional repetition in music can create a mantra, even without words. // yhy

Theme

This track has a history that holds the theme of reclamation in its roots, and contains the essence of the wilderness, the desert, and deep and expansive titrated exploration.

It is an example of what we at Sonaesthetics call "process music"
Director's Notes: You may find several different definitions when researching this term, but for me, process music has to do with processes in which people are allowed to move through their own (or perhaps suggested) material, each at their own pace. // yhy

Use

Great for use in conscious dance, yoga, meditation, breath work, energy work, journeying, studying, writing, creative work, ritual settings, or any process with the intent of moving energy.

Timing

The length of this track is nearly 31 minutes, but may of course be used at an abbreviated length according to your needs. Below are some minute markers to indicate when certain changes occur in the body as they relate to the chanting of mantras. 

You might consider the following time markers as checkpoints to achieve certain desired effects in your practice.
3 minutes: Affects the electromagnetic field and blood circulation.

7 minutes: Brain patterns start to shift from the static of beta waves, to calmer alpha waves and ultimately to deep relaxing delta waves. Simultaneously, the magnetic field surrounding the body increases in strength.

11 minutes: The glandular system and nerves start to change.
​The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems begin to accommodate the increased energy.

22 minutes: The three minds balance and begin to work together. The subconscious mind begins to clear.

31 minutes: Affects all the cells and rhythms of the body and all layers of the mind's projection. Endocrine balance is achieved.
