“Now, the age-old ritual—which has often been used as a foil to our always-plugged-in, fast-paced lives—is getting a new, tech-centric twist.“
Thank you @marieclairemag and @samholender

Going quiet soon, but I wanted to leave you with something gentle to return to while I’m away…
If you’re moving through loss, whether recent or remembered, I created a meditation for you inside @thepause.app : After a Loss.
Grief isn’t linear. It doesn’t ask for solutions. It asks for space.
For breath. For witnessing. For permission to feel without needing to fix.
This meditation is an invitation to sit with what’s here, to be held in sound as you move through the waves, in your own time, in your own way.
I often say, “practice makes practitioner”
And in moments like these, the practice is simply staying.
Starting this week, I’ll be in a 10-day silent Vipassana retreat. No phone. No speaking. Just deep listening.
While I step away, you can meet me in the practice.
Inside PAUSE. In the quiet. In the space we return to again and again.
Let it be a shared sanctuary.
With love,
Sara
Your voice shapes what comes next.
I created Auster Sound from a deeply personal practice of listening—and everything I build continues to be in conversation with you.
I’d love to hear where you are in your journey with sound, what’s resonating, and what you’re needing more of right now.
I’ve put together a short survey (just a few minutes), and your responses will directly inform what I create next.
As a thank you:
☞ you’ll receive a free audio download
☞ and be entered to win a virtual 1:1 sound bath session with me
Survey closes Sunday, 4/12 at 11:59pm.
Take the survey at the link in bio.
With gratitude,
Sara

I’m so grateful to ELLE Magazine for featuring my work over the years… from @elleusa@elleuk@ellefr and now a second time in @ellehungary for their special “SPIRIT” issue released on 11/11/25 - available in print and online.
“Sound therapy is experiencing a true renaissance, from binaural beats on YouTube to guided sound baths and vibroacoustic treatments to clinical music therapy. People struggling with anxiety disorders and insomnia are looking for natural, non-invasive methods that not only relieve symptoms but also offer deeper healing.”

Today (10/10), on World Mental Health Day, we’re reminded that caring for our minds and emotions is not something we do once - it’s a lifelong practice.
To support that ongoing care, we’re releasing three new sessions in @thepause.app - each designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and find calm in your own way:
Simply Be
A gentle guided meditation inviting you to release the need to fix or change anything, and to simply make room for yourself - as you are.
Feel Your Feelings (with Alex Falk)
A short, real-talk meditation for teens - a reminder that feeling your feelings only makes you stronger.
Gentle Rain
A soothing sound bath featuring soft rain sounds and subtle tonal layers - designed to ease the nervous system and calm the mind.
Take a few moments today to pause, breathe, and listen.

Every small act of care adds up.
With love and gratitude,
Sara & Alex
