Sommer Leigh

Sommer Leigh runs Sound Science Soul, a meditation and sound project she started in Des Moines, Iowa. Before turning to meditation she spent more than a decade in the music business as a promoter, journalist and podcast host, and her own search for steadiness led her into metaphysics and into study with Buddhist and mindfulness teachers and with sound healers. Her approach sits where contemplative practice meets brainwave research, and she treats the two as complementary rather than opposed.

Her recordings use isochronic tones, binaural and 8D audio, mantra chanting and non-sleep deep rest to guide listeners into alpha, theta and delta states for rest, visualisation and inner exploration. On YouTube she also publishes short reflective talks on consciousness, archetypes and how habits of perception shape experience. She sells individual meditations as downloads, offers multi-day brainwave courses on Insight Timer, has supplied tracks to the Flowtime biofeedback headband app, and has recently built Unscripted, an app with brief daily exercises for noticing and changing habitual reactions as they arise.
