Inspired by Cistercian monks in France, this special episode of Love Your Love Muscle offers an experience of Vespers followed by silent contemplation.

We begin with Antiphona et Magnificat, performed by Schola Gregoriana, before transitioning into Drone in D by Kevin MacLeod. You can listen to the chant as prayer or simply receive the voices and sound.

The monks describe the silent prayer as a way of becoming more mindful of God. This meditation respects that Christian tradition while leaving room for your own understanding of God, spirituality, or life itself.

After the chant, you can continue with the gentle music or lower the volume completely and experience the remainder in silence.

There is nothing particular to achieve. Find a comfortable position, let your breathing remain natural, and give yourself time to listen and be present.
