Wellbeing Anthem 'MOTION' by OneDa

Motion is OneDa's take on sound-bath rap something we believe could be the first of its kind. A track you can bop your head to and meditate to at the same time.

The journey started at the Thinking Deeper podcast, where OneDa met Nicola and Kate from the Calm Collective, and Nick from the GM Wellbeing Series. Nick invited OneDa to create something for the GM Meditation and suggested collaborating with the sound baths. That planted the seed.

The track is about quieting mental noise, letting go of what weighs you down and finding your strength again. “Just breathe, sway with the motion” is the reminder running through it.
