About this listen

Nothing Is Required is a trauma-informed sound podcast designed for nervous systems that live in brace mode.


Hosted by Navy Veteran and Sound Alchemist JS Worldbridger and Julie Jules Smoot this podcast offers structured gong listening sessions created to support regulation, grounding, and reduced overwhelm. Each episode is paced intentionally — with gradual entry, predictable resonance, and space to soften without pressure.

These are not performance-based meditations.


There is no emotional outcome to achieve.
There is nothing to fix.


Through Chiron Gong, planetary gong sessions, and steady vibrational sound fields, listeners are invited to practice un-bracing — gently and at their own pace.

This podcast is designed for individuals living with trauma histories, CPTSD, chronic stress, sensory sensitivity, and nervous system dysregulation who are seeking contained, non-verbal support between therapy sessions.


Nothing is required of you here.

You are not asked to go deeper than your body wants to go.
You are simply invited to listen.

  • The Healer's Scar: A Chiron Gong Immersion
    Feb 19 2026

    Some wounds do not disappear.
    They transform.

    The Healer’s Scar is a two-hour Chiron Gong immersion for those who understand that healing is not about erasing pain — it is about learning to stand with it without collapsing.

    Chiron, the archetype of the wounded healer, represents the places we carry both injury and wisdom. This session does not attempt to fix you. It does not rush integration. It does not demand catharsis.

    Instead, it creates a steady sonic field where the body can soften around what still aches.

    Layered gong tones unfold slowly, allowing:

    • Deep nervous system regulation
    • Emotional waves to surface without overwhelm
    • Old narratives to loosen their grip
    • The body to reclaim steadiness without force


    There is no requirement to revisit trauma.
    There is no expectation of breakthrough.
    You remain in control at all times.

    This immersion is for those who carry scars — physical, emotional, spiritual — and are ready to sit with them as teachers rather than enemies.

    The wound is not the end of the story.
    It is where wisdom entered.

    Return to this session when the ache feels loud, when old memories stir, or when you need to remember that healing can be quiet, sovereign, and self-directed.

    Nothing is required.
    You are not broken.
    You are becoming.

  • Breathing and Self-Healing: A Listening Session
    Feb 19 2026

    This session is not about forcing calm.
    It is not about fixing yourself.
    It is not about performing relaxation.

    Breathing and Self-Healing is a gentle sound container designed to support your nervous system exactly where it is.

    Through slow, spacious tones and intentional pacing, this listening session invites your breath to find its own rhythm. Nothing is required of you. You do not need to breathe a certain way. You do not need to “drop in.” You do not need to achieve stillness.

    The sound meets you.

    Soft resonance creates room for:

    • Muscle tension to soften naturally
    • Thoughts to slow without pressure
    • Emotional waves to rise and fall safely
    • The body to remember steadiness

    This is self-healing without urgency.

    You remain in control the entire time.
    You can adjust your position.
    You can open your eyes.
    You can stop at any moment.

    The breath is not commanded — it is witnessed.
    The body is not corrected — it is supported.

    Return to this session whenever your system feels activated, tired, or simply in need of quiet companionship.

    Healing does not have to be loud.
    Sometimes it is just breath, and sound, and enough space to exist.

  • Celestial Harmony: A Jupiter Gong Listening Experience
    Feb 19 2026

    Celestial Harmony is an immersive listening experience with the Jupiter Gong — spacious, layered, and intentionally unhurried.

    This session is not designed to induce a state.
    It is not structured to guide your emotions.
    It does not ask you to reach for calm, transcendence, or insight.

    Instead, it offers sound as atmosphere.

    The Jupiter Gong carries wide, horizon-like tones that can feel expansive, resonant, and gently powerful. Some listeners experience a sense of openness. Others feel grounding or subtle internal movement. There is no correct response.

    Harmony here does not mean perfection.
    It means coexistence.

    High tones and low tones.
    Movement and stillness.
    Attention and drifting.

    For trauma-shaped nervous systems, choice matters. You may listen with full attention or let the sound sit in the background. You may adjust the volume. You may pause at any time. You remain in control of your experience.

    This is not a performance space.
    There is nothing to achieve.

    Celestial Harmony offers over an hour of spacious Jupiter Gong resonance, unfolding slowly enough for your body to decide what feels supportive.

    Only listening.
    Only space.
    Only autonomy.
