    Beyond Happiness and Unhappiness, There Is Peace | Afterbath Podcast

    Happiness and unhappiness feel like opposites. But what if they’re simply two sides of the same coin? In this episode of Afterbath, Mat explores how the mind chases pleasure and resists discomfort — and how that cycle quietly shapes our lives, our relationships, and even our sense of identity. Through reflection and gentle awareness, we look at what exists beyond preference, beyond comparison, and beyond the constant pursuit of “feeling better.” Following the spoken reflection, a 15-minute immersive sound bath invites you into stillness — a space where neither happiness nor unhappiness defines you.  There is something deeper. There is peace. Transforming lives, one note at a time.

    Enlightened Relationships — A Reflection on Presence

    This episode begins with a spoken reflection on relationships, presence, and emotional attachment — exploring how fear, love, and awareness quietly shape the way we connect with others. Rather than offering advice or solutions, this session invites gentle observation: listening without fixing, meeting others without possession, and allowing space for growth on both sides of a relationship. Following the reflection, the episode transitions into a wind chime sound bath (approximately 25 minutes), created to support rest, integration, and nervous system settling. There’s nothing to do and nowhere to go. Simply listen, rest, and allow the sound to carry what words no longer need to hold. Suitable for quiet reflection, evening listening, or as a soft companion before sleep. ✨ About Afterbath Afterbath is a podcast by Mat Creedon — a musician, sound therapist, and multi-instrumentalist from Melbourne, Australia.

    Doorways Into Stillness — An Afterbath Reflection

    In this episode of Afterbath, Mat explores a simple but often misunderstood idea: stillness doesn’t begin with silence — it begins with awareness. Through gentle reflection and grounded metaphors, this session reframes meditation not as something to “get right,” but as something already available in everyday experience. Rather than trying to quiet the mind, listeners are invited to notice it — and in that noticing, discover natural doorways into presence. This episode pairs reflective spoken guidance with spacious pauses, offering a calm entry point into stillness that feels accessible, human, and unforced. Listen when you want to slow down, reset your attention, or simply sit with yourself for a few quiet moments — no effort required. ✨ About Afterbath Afterbath is a podcast by Mat Creedon — a musician, sound therapist, and multi-instrumentalist from Melbourne, Australia.

    The State of Presence — A Guided Sound Bath Experience

    Welcome to Afterbath — a space for slowing down, listening deeply, and reconnecting with yourself through sound, presence, and quiet reflection. In this episode, Mat Creedon shares a spoken reflection from his book in progress, Transforming Lives One Note at a Time. This chapter — The State of Presence — explores what it means to be fully here, beyond mental noise, comparison, and the constant pull of past and future. Through gentle language and grounded insight, this episode invites you to notice the difference between thinking about life and actually feeling it — returning to the heart, the body, and the present moment. Following the spoken reflection, you’re guided into a 6-minute sound bath — a short immersion designed to gently settle the nervous system and offer a simple reset, wherever you are. There’s nothing you need to do. No technique. No effort. Simply allow the sound to move through you in whatever way it does. 🎧 Headphones recommended for the most immersive experience. — 🔗 For the full-length sound bath experience, you can listen here: https://youtu.be/jgqI86FLAX4 Thank you for spending this time here.

    Transforming Lives One Note at a Time Chapter Four: Chasing Bliss

    In this episode of Afterbath, I explore what I mean by the state of presence — or what I like to call chasing bliss. Not because bliss is missing, but because the act of chasing reveals how often we overlook what’s already here. This chapter reflects on awareness as the part of us that watches life unfold without judgement, comparison, or the need to fix anything. Through gentle humour and everyday examples, I look at how belief systems, mental noise, and the constant urge to be right can quietly pull us away from ease — and how presence is always closer than we think. The episode includes a short Sound Bath preview.

    How the Mind Avoids the Now

    In this episode of Afterbath, Mat shares Chapter Three from his upcoming book Transforming Lives One Note at a Time. This reflection explores the subtle strategies the mind uses to avoid the present moment — turning life into problems, distractions, drama, and endless mental noise. Through grounded stories and gentle humour, Mat looks at why the mind struggles with stillness, how it confuses labels for experience, and how presence is always closer than we think. The episode concludes by inviting you to Sojourn into the present moment with a six-minute Native American Flute immersive, allowing the words to dissolve into direct experience. 🎶 To experience the full 15-minute immersive sound journey Sojourn, listen here: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSvP5ibuCSc Best listened to somewhere comfortable.

    Living in the Now + A 3D Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Bath Preview

    In this episode, Mat Creedon reflects on something simple, but quietly life-changing: learning how to live in the present moment. So much of our stress comes from replaying the past or racing ahead into the future. In this gentle conversation, Mat explores what it actually means to return to now — not as an abstract spiritual idea, but as a very real, lived experience you can access at any moment. To support this reflection, the episode closes with a short preview from a 1-hour 3D Ambisonic Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Bath, recorded with seven bowls arranged in a circle, placing you right in the centre of the sound. It’s designed to help the nervous system settle and the mind soften — no effort required.
