Entering a Place of Stillness: Music Meditation | Plum Village

This Music Meditation was recorded on the 7th of June 2026 in Upper Hamlet, Plum Village, France, as part of our June Retreat, celebrating 60 years of the Order of Interbeing. 🎧 For the best listening experience, please make sure Stable Volume is turned off in the YouTube player. We warmly invite you not only to listen, but also to practice together with us. If you have the time and space, you may like to experience this session as a meditation rather than a performance. Find a comfortable place, allow yourself to settle, and, whenever it feels natural, gently close your eyes. Let the poetry, readings, music, and moments of silence guide your breathing and awareness. May this shared practice help you touch peace, freedom, and compassion within, and remind us all that we do not walk this path alone. 00:00 Three Sounds of the Bell 01:18 Reading ( Poem by Thich Nhat Hanh ) Earth Touching 02:33 Chant ( French Evening Chant 08:40 Reading ) 16 Exercises of Mindful Breathing 10:31 Song ( Sutra on the Full Awareness of Breathing 19:51 Reading ) Poem by Thich Nhat Hanh ( Earth Touching 21:23 Song ) Island Within 28:47 Reading ( Poem by Thich Nhat Hanh ) Earth Touching 30:26 Song ( Gatha for Planting a Tree 34:42 Reading ) Walking Joyfully in the Ultimate Dimension 36:38 Song ( Unborn and Indestructible 43:55 Reading ) Fragrant Palm Leaves 45:22 Reading ( Great Bell Gatha 47:48 Chant ) Great Bell Chant Take Thich Nhat Hanh and Plum Village teachings wherever you go with The Plum Village App: a completely free app with guided meditations, deep relaxations and other practices offered by Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh and his monastic community ➛ https://plumvillage.app Enjoy! 🙏 Discover more about us at https://plumvillage.org/ , dive deeper into the practice of mindfulness by practicing with us on a retreat https://plumvillage.org/retreats/ or connect with us by supporting Thich Nhat Hanh’s community and legacy at: https://plumvillage.org/donate Discover th
