We are delighted to invite you to join an exclusive Wavepaths Deep Listening experience hosted by Wavepaths CEO & Founder Dr. Mendel Kaelen
Deep Listening
Wavepaths was founded on the insight that when we do allow ourselves to listen more deeply to music, we are in essence listening more deeply to ourselves, in particular, to those parts of ourselves that we may not always see, acknowledge and accept.
Research shows that the right music, when you listen with focus and intention, supports meaning-making, emotionality, and mental imagery – the same therapeutic processes associated with psychedelic therapy and other experiential therapies
Prepare For Your Experience
To make the most of your Deep Listening experience, we welcome you to prepare in the following ways:
- Use your best headphones or stereo speakers to ensure optimal sound quality
- Wear an eye mask to support full immersion in the music
- Prepare a yoga mat for added comfort
- Keep a jumper or blanket to hand for warmth and comfort
- Set an intention to help cultivate the right mindset or what you hope to gain or learn from the experience
- Open yourself up to the music – Wavepaths research shows that the more you can open yourself up to the inner experience evoked by the music the more likely the session will be personally meaningful

Deep Listening can facilitate powerful experiences.
