  • Forgiveness – Returning to Safety (396 Hz)
    May 16 2025

    In this grounding episode of Benevolent Brainwashing, you are invited to return—not to a memory, but to a feeling. A time when safety was lost… and now, can be reclaimed.

    Guided by the healing frequency of 396 Hz, this meditation begins with a simple breath and the imagined touch of bare feet on warm earth. As you follow the rhythm of your body, you’ll gently surface the old weight of fear—held in the hips, the spine, the breath—and offer it to the fire, not to forget, but to forgive. To release.

    With carefully designed language and a slow, somatic unfolding, this journey leads you to a quiet clearing, where a stone—etched with your story—becomes your offering. Forgiveness here is not about approval. It’s about freedom. It’s about safety. It’s about returning to your root.

    Put on your headphones. Let the 396 Hz binaural pulse guide your nervous system back to trust.

    You are not broken.
    You are rooted.
    And you are standing on sacred ground.

  • In the Beginning
    May 15 2025

    In this awe-filled episode of Benevolent Brainwashing, we journey back—not to a single origin, but to the shared hum beneath every creation story ever told.

    From the Hindu Rigveda’s breathing without breath, to the Hebrew God hovering over primordial waters… from the Tao that cannot be spoken, to the Big Bang that unfolded not in space, but as space—this meditation weaves scripture, myth, and science into a single thread of memory. The memory of a beginning that still echoes in your breath, your blood, your being.

    You are stardust formed from ancient stars. You are a ripple of the first vibration, still unfolding. You are not separate from the beginning. You are the beginning—in motion, in thought, in love.

    This is not a meditation to make you forget what you’ve learned. It’s one to help you remember what you’ve always known.

    Wear headphones. Close your eyes. And listen for the story still being told… through you.
