ATTUNE: A MindSTILLness Meditation Experience & Sensory Adaptogen Service

This session is an experiential container created by Vīrya for 113 Spring. You’ll be guided through a simple protocol using harmonic sound as an external cue — not to focus, but to help the mind switch OFF. The experience is designed for self-tracking through direct experience: your nervous system becomes the teacher as it begins to entrain into deeper stillness. The result is a felt, immediate shift toward the hypometabolic reset that defines Auto Self-Transcending.

Part II of the session shifts from inward restoration to outward connection with adaptogens, guided storytelling, and intentional conversation turning that inner shift into a shared social experience.

You’ll sit comfortably, and we’ll start with a short intro on what makes MindSTILLness different from other wellness practices. The key idea is simple: you already know how to switch off — you’re just not used to recognizing how to trigger it on demand.

Then we’ll introduce a simple, meaningless sound as a gentle cue — not to concentrate, but to let the nervous system do what it already knows: switch OFF and settle. We’ll close with a brief integration so the reset carries into your week.

Unlike practices that rely on breath control, visualization, or training attention, MindSTILLness is designed to be effortless. It’s distinct from mindfulness — the aim isn’t “better focus,” but deeper settling into wakeful rest — and it’s also different from sound baths: sound is used here as a simple, meaningless cue to help the mind switch OFF, rather than as the experience itself. The session is reset-oriented, grounded in an evidence-based stress downshift and emotional balance, and it’s fully accessible: no prior experience needed — just come as you are.

MindSTILLness is grounded in over 60 years of peer-reviewed research on Auto Self-Transcending (AST) — a distinct category of meditation with measurable neurological and physiological signatures, including characteristic EEG coherence patterns and autonomic changes (Travis et al., 1999; Travis, 2001; Travis et al., 2009; Travis & Shear, 2010).

Across studies and reviews, AST has been associated with outcomes relevant to modern stress load — including reductions in trait anxiety (Eppley et al., 1989; Sedlmeier et al., 2012), improvements in cardiovascular risk markers and clinical outcomes (Schneider et al., 2012), benefits across atherosclerosis / metabolic measures in at-risk populations (Castillo-Richmond et al., 2000; Paul-Labrador et al., 2006), and PTSD symptom reductions in multiple settings (Rees et al., 2013; Orme-Johnson, 2014). This evidence base is also reflected in major clinical guidance: the American Heart Association has noted that this category has the strongest evidence among meditation approaches for lowering blood pressure (Brook et al., 2013).

At 113 Spring, TRANŚCEND LIVE translates that research into a simple, direct experience — an effortless way to access the “mental OFF switch” and the wakeful deep rest state it enables.

​VIRYA: TRANŚCEND LIVE teaches and tracks MindSTILLness (Automatic Self-Transcending) — a modern, evidence-informed approach to wakeful deep rest and nervous system renewal, supported by a multimodal bio-analytics platform. We help people feel calm and mentally resilient in minutes, not months. This is an intentional scored, timed harmonic protocol plus real-time biometric validation (EEG / HR). The sequence is designed to cue a self-transcending response and renew the mind & body.
