music

Listening to this song while I write about the story of my life. As music changes throughout this stream of consciousness, I will paste the songs in. I think this is my new blog. Instead of deleting the old blog I've kept over the years, I think it's time to start fresh. I've left my trails blog still open as I've vowed to myself to stop deleting blogs but I feel I need a new blog to mark my season of the cocoon. I've been doing the same in Spotify. I'm currently in Chapter 3 and I think about to begin Chapter 4. Whenever I write posts I want to involve my present experience more and observe it. Hence the music inserts. Music is the first creation of time travel I've found in this human experience.

Ash and Shaka came over earlier to play music. Worked on a song I wrote about Unity and this idea of being so close to a group of people that you don't know where their hands begin and yours end.

I finished Be Here Now by Ram Dass and am in delight and awe of this book. I meditated today in the sun and worked on focusing on my breath. Lots of saying "In, out, in out, "I feel hot" thought pops into my head and I observe it, in, out, in, "the sun feels nice", in, out, in.." and so on for 15 minutes. For the most part, I am able to empty my mind and I'm confused by that fact since I haven't really had a strict meditative practice. However, when I was Christian, I would sit for hours on end waiting for God to speak and in silent prayer. Maybe that time was my meditation. I've been praying quite frequently again too. It makes me feel connected to the deepest wish of peace and joy, to my dreams, and makes me feel like I'm making a difference in the universe via prayer. What I love most about this book is finding Jesus's teachings again and utilizing them. It's wonderful to find that all that studying of scripture was not a wasted effort. I've been wanting to read the bible again. I'm following a mixture of zen, buddhism, christianity, and paganism and its delicious. My mouth waters every time I hear the word "present" and my heart skips a bit when I contemplate love. I think of that verse that in order to inherit the kingdom of god we must be like children. I'm approaching this newfound spirituality like a baby. I seek to be fresh out of the woman, seconds old, ready to experience everything for the first time. Each day, I'll try to spoon feed myself spiritual baby food. Today's meal consisted of contemplating unity. Practice for when I must escape the warm covers of this cocoon. For now, I can rest in the simplicity of the womb. The safe place of contemplation and non-action.Soon, I will put it all into practice. For now, I learn.

I've been wanting to play this song on the piano and sing it. I may soon. I'm making progress on Rock Fall and it's starting to sound pretty lovely. I'm hoping I can video tape myself playing it and be done with it. After that, it's time to go back to The Curious Nature of Photons and play it how I intended. I think I can make it sparkle more. Its my masterpiece, I just know it. It just needs more spice and passion and my love the song has only increased since I stopped playing it. Perhaps absence makes the heart grow fonder. For the longest time, I dared not play a note. It was too painful but I think I need to play it again and work through the pain. The only way out is through baby... The piano is a deep lover of mine. It's keys are so familiar. I hold hands with music with every touch. Newtons third law in practice with every note and it makes me giggle. I make love to this instrument ferociously. Loud, soft, big, small, swollen, and then I let the silences between notes speak for themselves. Some silences, longer than others.

I haven't climbed all week and I'm itching to go. I'm anxious to take a whack at the 12- and try again the 13-. I plan to end my workout with meditation and then maybe I'll crawl up in the kids room and read a book in the back until I have to go to work. I only work 30 hours but still wish I worked less. However, I am thankful that I have more of the morning to relax and unwind. On the weeks I have Ez, I will just go climb after I drop him off but on the weeks I don't, I plan to climb first and then go to the mountains after. I need mountains daily so going this week without the mountains will be a little tough but it's all gravy.

Off to the world of roblox with Ezra and maybe make some scrambled eggs/contemplate being the witness in my life and manifesting my dreams .

Zen12 Meditation

Over 10 million Americans regularly practice meditation, according to Psychology Today magazine.

The benefits include enhanced brain power, massive improvements in health, and increased happiness and energy levels.

Yet, with so many profound benefits, the real question is... Why aren't more people doing it?

Why Meditation Can Be So Difficult

If you're anything like me, you probably already know the answer: Meditation can be challenging!

The main problem is that most people don't have the time.

For best results, meditation requires 45-60 minutes of daily practice. The results are only sometimes immediately visible, too. They typically build up over time.

But those aren't the only hurdles. Quietening a busy mind and calming a restless body are two of the biggest reasons people don't give meditation a fair go.

However, there may be a solution in sight.

The Scientific Answer to Meditation Woes

I recently got hold of a program that claims to be the next generation in meditation. It's called Zen 12.

Zen12 is an audio meditation program that uses special "brainwave" sounds to take the hassle out of meditation.

They claim that listening to one of their Zen12 sessions is easy. There are no rules, emptying of your mind, or special positions. You just hit play and let the session do the rest of the work for you.

They say the special sounds will automatically relax your mind and body. And each session lasts just twelve minutes so that it won't strain your day.

I wasn't convinced. So, I decided to try it out for myself.

Home Labs: My Twelve-Minute Experiment

I signed up for the Zen 12 Meditation Program for myself. I went for their full package, consisting of twelve full levels.

You listen to each level for a month, then move on to the next. Each level is also available in different "flavors": guided meditation, relaxation music, sounds of nature, and so on.

I opted for the relaxation music. Per the instructions, I hit play on my iPhone, sat back on my sofa, and chilled out.

Twelve minutes later, I was coming round again.

Wow! I felt refreshed. I was calm and relaxed while also focused. I felt like I was "on form," perhaps even "in the Zone" if I were being cliché.

I decided to credit my experience to the smoothie I had that morning and went about my daily business. My day was productive, joyful, and better than usual in so many ways.

After discrediting my smoothie theory a couple of days later, I tried the Zen12 session again—the same results. Then, the next day, the same results were seen again.

It was astounding. I was finally discovering why everyone raved about meditation!

Brainwave Sounds Help Me "Cheat" at Meditation

It's all down to our brainwaves.

Normal meditation requires you to access deeper mental states, which can take years of meditative practice to reach. Zen12 uses special 'brainwave' sounds, which take you there quicker.

That means you get to "cheat" at meditation and enjoy the results quicker than ever before.

So, by playing a simple MP3 and chilling for 12 minutes, I could instantly enjoy the immediate benefits of an hour's meditation.

Every day I used Zen12, I felt more productive and positive overall.

I felt fresher, happier, more focused, creative, and energetic than usual. And I'm told there are dozens of cumulative brain power and health benefits, too.

There was no battling with a busy mind or constant fidgeting. I "Zenned )ut" and got on with it. There was no issue with time either. It just takes 12 minutes, and you don't have to do it daily.

Following in the Footsteps of Gandhi

Zen12 has genuinely changed my attitude toward meditation.

It's at the cutting edge of a new wave of science that is helping us make our lives easier while tapping into the natural resources of the human mind.

This is meditation, as it should be. Meditation 3.0. Mediation for the microwave age.

Whatever you want to call it, this works -- and even though you don't have to use it every day, I just might.

And I'm reminded of Ghandi, who once said: "I'm so busy today, I may have to meditate for two hours instead of one."

But forget an hour. How about ... twelve minutes?

Rating: 10/10

Pros: Instant meditation results in just 12 minutes; it works!

Cons: No telephone support.

Conclusion: Buy it! Zen 12 will change your meditation experience forever.

Thanks for reading my Zen 12 Review

Joshua Abrams + Natural Information Society. Simultonality, 2017. Eremite. ~ [ Album Review | 1) Pitchfork + 2) Dusted Magazine + 3) The Free Jazz Collective + 4) The Jazz Mann ]

1) Joshua Abrams makes music about time and patience—music that, as he put it, “offers the possibility of slowing down.” With his group Natural Information Society, he crafts simple loops, primarily with a three-string African lute called the guimbri. A plethora of sonic elements—including guitar, harmonium, autoharp, and all kinds of percussion—gather around him like moss crawling up a wall. The result is a sound that moves forward while simultaneously seeming to freeze time.

The restraint of Abrams’ work matches his long-arc career, which he began in Philadelphia as an early member of the Roots. Moving to Chicago, he formed Thrill Jockey group Town & Country and became ensconced in the city’s jazz and indie scenes. Many of the people he met there, including Cairo Gang’s Emmett Kelly and Tortoise’s Jeff Parker, have performed in Natural Information Society, a rotating collective that recently solidified into a working unit.

You can hear the effect of that consistency on Simultonality, the fourth Natural Information Society album in seven years (alongside an excellent collaboration with Bitchin Bajas). The group moves together like a carbon-based machine, loose enough to allow for surprises but always focused on one goal. Over tracks that often last eight minutes or more, their focus takes on a Zen quality, as Abrams’ loops become so entrancing they seem to create their own private dimension in space-time.

Much of that time-expanding effect derives from Abrams’ unique choice of instrument. With its rubbery, resonant tone, the guimbri traditionally has been used for healing and trance ceremonies, which can sometimes last for upwards of eight hours. And so Abrams’ simple figures can continually hold attention across long stretches because his tone is so rich and multi-layered. Throughout Simultonality, his playing forms the foundation of each song, offering his bandmates a core around which they can circle, fly, digress, and connect.

As a result, the music on Simultonality coaxes you to quiet your mind and focus your attention, but it doesn’t necessarily move slowly. The majority of the songs here surge forward at an energetic clip, with some even sounding nervously excited. On opener “Maroon Dune,” Abrams’ pounding two-note cycle spawns guitar strums and drum rolls that intensify the song even though the pace doesn’t quicken. A shuffling rhythm instantly propels the 12-minute “Sideways Fall,” powering the group through thick sonic terrain (a perfect analogue to the rolling train tracks in the tune’s accompanying video.)

Abrams and his group don’t spend all of Simultonality in high gear. One track, “St. Cloud,” consists primarily of gentle bells and chimes, the musical equivalent of a trickling waterfall. And on closer “2182½,” Natural Information Society swerve into straight-up jazz, supporting the contemplative sax strains of Ari Brown as if they were a mid-period John Coltrane ensemble. It’s a nice glimpse of the diversity this group is capable of, infusing traditional structures with meditative qualities. But overall, Simultonality advances Abrams and Natural Information Society’s signature sound, one that gets even more unique the further it grows and expands.

2) Dusted, and particularly this writer, stands corrected. The last time we dealt with Joshua Abrams and the Natural Information Society was in a review of Anemometer, the group’s summit with the Bitchin Bajas. That review suggested that the Bajas brought the krautrock influence while Abrams was responsible for the Gnawa and world jazz references, but we were too binary for our own good. On Simultonality’s “Sideways Fall,” which takes up half of side two, drummers Mikel Avery and Frank Rosaly lean into Jaki Liebezeit’s beat pattern for Can’s “Vitamin C.”

The aforementioned tune connects the dots between Can, James Brown and Moroccan trance grooves, and that’s by no means the whole story. While Abrams and his group may confine themselves to natural information, that doesn’t mean that they can’t cast a wide net. The cascade of resonating electric strings and staccato harmonium that opens “Opiuchus” is like a neon-lit refraction of Steve Reich’s “Music For Eighteen Musicians,” and the swinging, cross-hatched rhythm workout that follows combines electric and acoustic sonorities like a banner woven from sky and earth. “Maroon Dune” uses another Can-derived rhythm as the foundation for another celestial-terrestrial dance; while most of the band keeps loose reign on a bucking beat, bellows-driven and electric keyboards glide overhead, evincing the paradoxically slow appearance of fast-moving clouds. Musical and elemental forces converge harmoniously without losing their essence. It’s a soul-warming response to the agents of fracture at work in America and other places.

On all of these pieces, Abrams plays a Moroccan bass lute known as a guimbri, which infuses the music with a ceremonial vibe. But he sets it aside on two others. He plays harp and messes with the tape speed on “St. Cloud,” a brighter-toned study of motion within motion. And he switches to double bass for the slow-burning closer “2128 ½.” The titular number refers to a now-empty patch of South Indiana Avenue that was once occupied by Fred Anderson’s Velvet Lounge. The Velvet’s jam sessions and out of town bookings provided essential schooling for both musicians and audiences, and Abrams played there many times. The piece starts out free and agitated, courting chaos, but then segues into a walking bass line over which Ben Boye lays down a carpet of cosmic electric piano chords and saxophonist Ari Brown blows a blues that blends the yearning of early 1960s John Coltrane with the sandpapery grit that Pharoah Sanders brought to Alice Coltrane’s music a decade later.

One might get the idea from all these historical references that Abrams is just another guy who wants to show what he knows. But that misses the point that all of these antecedents used rhythm and tone to heal, enthuse, and mesmerize. This music was fashioned with similar intentions in mind, and it uses the recognizability of past intentions to help put its point across.

3) If Joshua Abrams’s Natural Information Society is in the business of creating “sonic environments,” then 2015’s Magnetoception was a place for wandering. Gently paced, its considerable variety distributed deliberately across four LP sides, the music guided with a light hand. This meant that before exploring every corner, there was a chance you might get lost—in thought, perhaps, or in the task of getting up again to flip the record over. NIS’s latest, by contrast, is a tighter, denser space. Lasting only 42 minutes, Simultonality has an energy that would be hard to sustain for much longer and a momentum that ushers the listener along with no chance for straying.

Given the niche that Abrams has dug out for NIS in the avant-jazz scene, it’s not surprising that at the root of Simultonality’s propulsive character lies rhythm, in particular the hypnotizing ostinati that ground Abrams’s simple, sturdy compositions. Though these looping patterns tend to be anchored by Abrams himself—mostly on guimbri, but also on harp and acoustic bass—it doesn’t hurt that pretty much everyone in the band plays some kind of rhythm instrument—some of them doubled: Emmett Kelly on electric guitar, Lisa Alvarado and Ben Boye on a variety of keyboards (plus Boye’s autoharp), and Michael Avery and Frank Rosaly on drums and percussion.

As the album’s title suggests, it’s the band’s collective focus that accounts for the full unstoppable force of the music. Opener “Maroon Dune” sets off on a bounding 5/4 two-step. Over Abrams’s punchy guimbri line, the rest of the band weave variations on the ostinato—all except Alvarado and Boye, whose broad chordal overlays sigh like exhalations in strange but compelling contrast to the perpetually unresolved odd meter. In other places all voices align, as in the Reich-like pulsating introduction of follow-up “Ophiuchus,” which eventually opens out into an affectingly wistful 6/8 groove. At the center of the album sits—or rather, dances—“Sideways Fall,” an epic twelve-minute jam whose quarter note percussive backbone has already earned numerous comparisons to Can’s “Vitamin C.” Here the band’s voices double and echo each other—not only Avery and Rosaly, but also Kelly, Boye, and Alvarado, who pass around complementary phrases with the circularity of a snake eating its own tail.

Whereas the first three tracks are all about groove, the final two move into new territory. With its web-like harp ostinato and dewdrop embellishments, “St. Cloud” lets in a bit of fresh air, welcome after the close, sweaty dance marathon that precedes it. But the real departure is “2128 ½,” named after the address (on Chicago’s South Indiana Avenue) that once hosted Fred Anderson’s beloved Velvet Lounge. Being a tribute, the tune is weighted with smoky, forlorn nostalgia, from the classic (and uncharacteristic, for NIS) free jazz introduction to the walking bass line (equally uncharacteristic) Abrams descends into at about the three-minute mark. Though the band works with what feels like a single consciousness throughout the album, the closer guest-stars veteran Chicago saxophonist Ari Brown. His playing is exactly what’s needed—broad and musical, dynamic and yet somehow static at the same time, evoking a lost past. It’s an unexpected but brilliant ending to one of NIS’s best albums yet.

4) Born in Philadelphia but now based in Chicago Joshua Abrams is a multi-instrumentalist and composer who specialises on the three stringed North African bass lute or guimbri, a ceremonial instrument of the Gnawa people of Saharan Africa.

Originally a double bass player Abrams first made his name on the jazz and experimental music scene in Chicago where he played with drummer Hamid Drake and saxophonist Matana Roberts among others.

For several years Abrams has led Natural Information Society, a floating group of musicians who combine the sounds of North Africa with elements of jazz, the minimalism of Steve Reich, Terry Riley and Philip Glass and vintage krautrock. It’s an exotic mix that has been documented over the course of four previous albums, “Natural Information” (2010), “Represencing” (2012) and “Automaginary” and “Magnetoception” (both 2015). “Automaginary” represented a collaboration with fellow Chicago band “Bitchin’ Bajas.

Drake has been a regular member of NIS but is absent from “Simultonality”. Nevertheless many of the musicians who have been part of the project since its inception do appear. For “Simultonality” Natural Information Society line up as follows;

Joshua Abrams – guimbri, bass, small harp, bells

Lisa Alvarado – harmonium, Leslie, percussion

Ben Boye – chromatic electric autoharp, piano, Wurlitzer

Ari Brown – tenor saxophone

Emmett Kelly – electric guitar

Mikel Avery – drums, percussion

Frank Rosaly – drums, percussion, resonator bells

With NIS Abrams has always preferred to work with two drummers and on this recording Avery can be heard in the left stereo channel and Rosaly in the right. Their percussive sounds are augmented by the metallic shaker sound of the rattle attached to Abrams’ guimbri.

“Simultonality” isn’t a jazz album per se despite Abrams’ roots in that scene. The leader has declared the album as being about “pure motion” and it’s different again to the music of its immediate predecessor “Magnetoception”, an album that I haven’t heard but which has been described as “beautifully spacious and unhurried”. Abrams himself merely says “the last album was slow” and leaves it at that.

Given its roots in Gnawa ceremonial music and with the amount of percussive hardware in evidence it comes as no surprise to find that the music on “Simultonality” is highly rhythmic. It’s also dense and intense and tightly knit with opener “Maroon Dune” featuring Alvarado’s harmonium swirling around the interlocking rhythmic patterns generated by Abrams, Avery and Rosaly. “Simultonality” consists of only five pieces, some of them being of considerable length. In Gnawa culture the guimbri has been used to provide the pulse in trance ceremonies and Abrams’ relentless, implacable groove performs that function here as the other instruments coalesce around it.

“Ophiucus” introduces a more obvious minimalist influence which gives the music a spacier feel that ties in with the acknowledged krautrock influences. Kelly’s guitar fulfils a more prominent role among the layered keyboards and the insistent rhythms. It’s denser and more multi-faceted than the opener and there’s the sense that the members of NIS are operating like a single sonic organism to work towards a common musical goal, a process that the press release compares with bees in a hive. There are no soloists as such, but everybody is deeply involved.

Following the intensity of the first two pieces the gentle “St. Cloud” represents an oasis of calm with its atmospheric kalimba like sounds augmented by the quiet rustling of bells and the subtle use of keyboard textures.

The hypnotic grooves are back with a vengeance on the twelve minute “Sideways Fall” which opens side two of the vinyl version of the album. Here the rhythm is adapted from Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit’s break in that band’s tune “Vitamin C” with Avery and Rosaly dividing the beat into separate parts at Abram’s request. Meanwhile Hamid Drake claims that the rhythm was first popularised by Jabo Starks and Clyde Stubblefield of James Brown’s band the J.B.s. In any event it’s an absorbing journey with its compulsive grooves, deeply layered textures and snatches of swirling, minimalist inspired melody. It’s the most hypnotic piece on the album, the relentless grooves evoking memories of not only Liebezeit and Neu’s Klaus Dinger but also the rhythms of contemporary electronic dance music.

The closing “21281/2 South Indiana” finds Abrams switching back to double bass and the music adopting more of a jazz feel with a freely structured introduction. The introduction of Brown’s tenor sax steers the music even more firmly in a jazz direction with the saxophonist contributing the only genuine ‘solo’ of the album. The music is reminiscent of the ‘spiritual jazz’ of John and Alice Coltrane and Pharaoh Sanders.

The song title harks back to Abrams’ time as house bassist at Fred Anderson’s Chicago venue the Velvet Lounge on South Indiana Avenue. Anderson would often play the music of Alice Coltrane between sets and at the end of the evening and this performance represents a homage to those times. Interestingly Abrams regards the music of NIS as something of a spiritual journey and cites the bassist and composer William Parker as a significant inspiration for the project.

“Simultonality” continues to find Abrams creating an increasingly individual music that binds disparate musical elements together in pursuit of a common purpose. The closing track is likely to represent a highlight for jazz listeners. Elsewhere those of that persuasion, like myself, may find the music a little bit too repetitive and lacking in the harmonic invention and stylistic and dynamic variety of the best contemporary jazz.

Nevertheless Abrams has carved out a unique niche for himself and has surrounded himself with some excellent musicians as he pursues his artistic and philosophical vision. One would imagine that an NIS live performance would be a totally immersive experience and perhaps the best way to enjoy the music of this most singular of bands. The album cover image was painted by Alvarado, who also contributes the large format paintings that are part of the group’s live shows, thus making their performances genuine audio-visual events.

Zen12 Review: Does This Meditation Program Work or Is It a Scam?

Could You Make 12 Minutes To Spare Today?

Do you feel stressed out every day? Wouldn’t it be nice to make the world just disappear for awhile so you could center yourself?

Although not everyone can make 60 minutes to meditate, it is generally possible to carve out 12 minutes for yourself at some point.

It could be on your lunch break, a mid-day pause in the action, or it could even be the first 12 minutes after you wake up in the morning.

Reserve yourself this time, incorporate Zen12, and you’ll soon discover how amazing you can feel!

Blocking out 12 minutes every day for meditation can change your life.

You Don’t Need To Be a Meditation Expert!

For years, the only real way to meditate was through the trial and error method.

You would train with someone, but it would be up to you to figure out your body mechanisms.

You’d have to open the doors to your inner being, tap into your subconscious, and then process that information in such a way that it would benefit your outer consciousness.

Not so today.

Thanks to the innovations of Zen12, you don’t have to waste time trying to figure out the right way to meditate!

According to Inspire3, Zen12 does the work for you.

Instead of having racing thoughts that create anxiety, you’ll have less stress. Instead of being tense about the problems that are about to crash in on you, you’ll have more relaxation.

You’ll be able to enhance your creativity!

All you’ve literally got to do is press play and you’re ready to experience the benefits of Zen12!

Is it possible that someone could receive all of the benefits of meditation that could change their life in one simple program?

It’s been scientifically proven that there are a number of benefits that come with a regular practice of meditation.

There is an increased level of brain functioning.

There is a higher level of serenity and inner peace.

Creativity levels peak and then stay at their peak.

Emotions become more stable, even during natural periods of mood swings that occur.

There are dozens of other potential health benefits which are unique to the individual!

There’s only one real question to ask yourself right now: are you experiencing the benefits of meditation?

If you are not, then now is the time to act!

Does Zen12 work? Your Way To Meditate In the Perfect Way!

One of the biggest traps in the practice of meditation, especially for beginners, is that it seems like no progress is being made.

There are still racing thoughts, stressful emotions, and other bothersome issues that meditation can begin to fix.

When these don’t get fixed in the early stages of meditation practice, people tend to just give up. They don’t want to practice something that they feel is a waste of time.

I believe that Zen 12 won’t waste your time.

It may even give you an advantage over those who practice meditation in the classic way!

That’s because music and sounds can engage the entire mind while you are listening to it.

In the field of meditation, that means these sounds can penetrate the barrier between the conscious and the subconscious mind to engage both in a beneficial conversation.

In just 12 minutes, the special audio MP3s that are in this program will help you to focus your mind and here’s the best part: you don’t even have to reschedule your day to do it!

Sit back. Press play. Enjoy the rewards!

Why Meditation with Zen12 is Better?

I once read this story about a Zen master who was teaching a group of new students how to properly meditate.

Together this group meditated for 30 minutes.

At the end of the session, the Zen master asked the students how much clarity they were able to achieve.

Most students answered that they had achieved no clarity at all.

The ones that said they had mentioned that it had only been a few seconds of clarity.

Then the Zen master told the class something that shocked them all.

He said that out of those 30 minutes where they had been meditating together, he had only achieved 2 minutes of clarity.

He described it as an outstanding meditation session.

Imagine… the experts on meditation only get 2 minutes of clarity for 30 minutes of work.

That has really stuck with me over time. There’s a lot of hassle to receive a very small benefit.

This is why meditation with Zen12 could be better.

According to Inspire3, you can double the benefits this Zen master described to his class in just 12 minutes because of the innovative design of the program.

This means one could potentially receive 4 minutes of clarity if the skill of meditation was equal to this Zen master.

Now imagine being able to accomplish this meditation benefit in just 12 minutes.

The benefits begin immediately.

According to Zen12, the fidgeting begins to stop. The restlessness begins to fade away. The mental chatter begins to quiet down.

The end result?

A state of total relaxation.

Is Zen12 a Scam? Or Is it a Proven System of Meditation?

Zen12 is based on a system of meditation that is called “brainwave entrainment.”

It works by tuning the brain to reach specific frequencies that help to encourage the states of relaxation and meditation.

Sounds embedded within the MP3 files work to align your brainwave patterns so that you remain awake and aware, yet also can sense the deeper states of relaxation and mediation.

This is an area of science that has been researched for over a century.

This also means that Zen12 is a system that will grow and develop with you.

With each session, you’ll gradually progress deeper and further into the next levels of meditation.

You’ll begin to see the benefits of regular meditation grow and expand!

Each month creates new opportunities and there are 12 different levels within Zen12, so you can have a year of meditation development for a surprisingly affordable price!

Even if you’ve been meditating for awhile and you feel like you’re stuck at where you’re at, Zen12 can help you too!

You can save some time and skip the beginning levels of this meditation program to pick up where you currently are.

You can even choose the meditation style that works the best for you!

Whether you prefer the sounds of nature, some background white noise, relaxation music, or guided meditation, you’ll be able to experience the benefits of meditation from the moment you first hit play.

Because each program has 12 different levels, here’s the positive reality a purchase today brings you: 4 years of meditation assistance.

Zen12 Short Review: How It Works

Zen12 is a program which consists of short audio-based meditation sessions.

Each session requires 12 minutes of your time, which is how this program gets its name.

There are longer sessions in the 20-minute range near the end of the program to use as well.

Each module within Zen12 is designed to bring you toward the habit of committing a full 60 minutes of your day to meditation.

It is a progressive program which is designed to take 12 months to complete.

There are 12 sessions in total, which makes it easy to see how the progression is designed to work.

There are 4 different formats which are available with each session: white noise, nature sounds, music, and guided meditation.

You get to choose the format which you feel will be the best option on that day for meditation.

Then you listen to the program during your meditation time, even if you can only commit 12 minutes toward it.

What is nice about this setup is that you’re given variety.

Many audio-based meditation programs give you a take-it-or-leave-it option.

Don’t like the track? Too bad.

Not Zen12.

In addition to the audio meditation tracks you’ll receive with this program, there are some extra things which come with your purchase.

You’ll receive two short e-books from Karl Moore. The advice in the content will help you think about your mindset as you pursue your own definition of success.

There is a user’s guide, though this is a one-page introduction to the program and not much more.

The user manual is a better resource.

You’ll receive an overview of each level, along with practical advice for beginner’s or experienced meditators.

Your program includes a 1-hour training call with Zen12, which includes a recorded introduction from Karl Moore.

Once you’re ready to listen to the audio meditation tracks, it is helpful to create a comfortable environment for yourself.

Eliminate potential distractions wherever possible. I prefer to meditate in a space that has been darkened.

Then you play the audio while you meditate.

As long as the audio can be heard in the room where you are meditating, it will be helpful.

I prefer to use a set of stereo headphones and listen to the audio tracks over Bluetooth to avoid the stimulation of a computer screen.

You can use whatever equipment you prefer.

As long as your environment is suitable for meditation that meets your needs, this program will provide focus assistance.

What I’ve found to be useful with Zen12 is that it removes the issues I struggle with when attempting to meditate.

Like the mental chatter. When I try to take time in a quiet space, that is when my thoughts like to race.

There are to-do lists, worries of the past, and plans for the future which all come flooding toward me.

Zen12 helps me acknowledge these thoughts, then set them aside to continue focusing on the meditation process.

I also tend to fidget a lot when sitting still.

Do you feel every itch on your skin when you’re trying to focus on something?

Does it feel like there is something crawling on your feet or hands?

That issue went away for me when I started using Zen12.

Now some might describe this program as a “miracle” cure for focus issues or a “must-have program” to get “amazing” meditation results.

I prefer a more practical solution.

Being someone who is familiar with meditation and a regular practitioner, I did find Zen12 to be immediately helpful in my weaker areas.

For a beginner, there is still the issue of establishing a habit of meditation.

No program can make the decision to meditate for you.

It is something you must choose to do on your own.

In my experience, when meditating becomes easier to do, then it becomes fun.

When meditation is fun, it becomes easier to make it a priority.

When meditation is a priority, then I make time for it every day somehow.

Zen12 makes meditation become fun again.

Are You Ready To Experience Meditation Like Never Before? With Zen12 it’s possible!

For many, meditation has remained out of reach because it is often difficult to achieve individual results when you’re on your own – especially for the first time.

Zen12 changes that dynamic and puts all of those advantages within your reach.

All you’ve got to do is grasp them!

All you’ve got to do is choose the level of meditation where you feel the most comfortable.

You then just click play for your MP3.

There are no special instructions, poses, or requirements that need to be met for Zen12 to work.

You just listen and then you get to experience the enhanced benefits of meditation, sometimes from the very first session!

With support videos, user guides, and a special email address that you can use for any questions that you may have, Zen12 is one of the easiest guided meditation, brainwave entrainment programs that you are going to find anywhere.

Joshua Abrams / Natural Information Society: Simultonality

Joshua Abrams makes music about time and patience—music that, as he put it, “offers the possibility of slowing down.” With his group Natural Information Society, he crafts simple loops, primarily with a three-string African lute called the guimbri. A plethora of sonic elements—including guitar, harmonium, autoharp, and all kinds of percussion—gather around him like moss crawling up a wall. The result is a sound that moves forward while simultaneously seeming to freeze time.

45 Ways To Be Happier Instantly

Got joy?

Sometimes it can feel hard to keep up a happy state of mind. The emotion, like all the others, isn’t always permanent. But there are ways to keep it up or boost it when you need it ― and luckily, they’re simpler than you think.

In honor of the International Day of Happiness, we’ve culled expert tips, research and just a few feel-good suggestions of ways to boost your mood. Take a look below:

1. Log some time with your furry friends.

Play fetch with Fido or sneak in a few cuddles with your kitten. Interacting with your pets can release oxytocin in the brain ― you know, the “warm and fuzzy” hormone ― resulting in that joyous feeling.

2. Count your blessings.

There’s nothing like a little thankfulness to boost your mood. Research shows expressing gratitude can make you happier. Try writing down three things you’re thankful for at the end of each night.

3. Remind yourself how great you are.

PSA: You are awesome — you just gotta believe it for yourself. Studies show self-acceptance is crucial to a happier life, but it’s a habit we barely practice.

4. Call your mom.

Pick up that phone. Research suggests hearing your mom’s voice can help reduce stress. And less stress means a happier you.

5. Meditate, meditate, meditate.

The list of meditation benefits seems endless, but perhaps one of the more positive perks is what the practice can do for your mood. Research shows that allowing yourself a few moments of zen-like escape each day may make you happier.

6. Listen to music.

Admit it: There’s nothing quite like a solo jam session, and apparently science agrees. Research shows that trying to boost your mood while listening to music actually can help lift you to a more positive state. Press play ASAP.

7. While you’re at it, listen to sad music.

No, really. Studies also suggest listening to sad music can help boost positive feelings. (We just see this as another excuse to listen to Adele on repeat.)

8. Give back.

We didn’t get to where we are without a little help, so why not extend that same generosity to someone else? Not only will your kindness influence others, studies show it’ll also make you happier, too.

9. Hang out with someone who is happy.

Joy really is contagious. Research shows the more you surround yourself with positive people, the happier you’ll feel. Time to go catch up with your BFF?

10. Watch a funny video.

Find something that tickles you, watch and let the giggles ensue. Laughter can reduce stress, after all.

11. Plan a vacation.

The anticipation for a trip is almost as good as the trip itself. Prepping for a vacation has been shown to increase our happiness levels, the New York Times reported. The warm sun or exciting slopes are just an added bonus.

12. Whip up a good meal.

Feeling blue? Tap into your inner chef and hit the kitchen. Researchers say people who employ creative process in small ways ― like coming up with a new pasta recipe for dinner ― feel happier overall.

13. Get in a good workout.

Consider this our love letter to exercise. Not only is it good for your body, but it’s equally as beneficial to your brain. When you work up a sweat, you release endorphins, immediately upping your happiness levels. Go ahead, get moving.

14. Spend money on experiences. A fulfilling life doesn’t lie in our possessions, it’s found in the experiences we have and the people we share them with. If you’re going to spend a little moolah, spend it on a trip, a concert or any other experience that will bring you joy. Science says you’ll be happier in the long run.

15. Challenge yourself.

Work for that promotion or take on that marathon. It’s a lovely treat for your mind, according to Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project. “Challenge and novelty are key elements of happiness,” Rubin wrote in Real Simple. “The brain is stimulated by surprise, and successfully dealing with an unexpected situation gives a powerful sense of satisfaction.”

16. Fake a smile.

We get it — smiling may be the last thing you want to do when you’re in a sour mood, but it could help to turn that frown upside-down. Research shows faking a smile can help elevate our mood, even if we’re not genuinely into it right away. Talk about the power of suggestion.

17. Go outside.

Take advantage of your backyard or stroll a park you’ve never been to before and thank yourself later. One study found that going for a brief walk in nature can help improve your mood and alleviate stress.

18. Make some new friends.

Research shows making friends increases our happiness and well-being. Join a club, talk to your coworker or strike up a conversation in the grocery line — you never know what kinds of new connections you can make.

19. Drink a glass of milk. Dairy contains tryptophan, an essential amino acid that helps create serotonin, the “happy” chemical in the brain. Milk: It not only does the body good, it does the brain good too.

20. Take a cozy bath (like Barry the dog).

If that isn’t the look of happiness, we don’t know what is. Plus, research suggests that warm baths make us feel warm on the inside, too.

21. Get enough sleep.

More sleep = A happier you. Too little shuteye slows down our cognitive processes and increases the risk of depression. Try hitting the pillow 30 minutes earlier each night or taking a nap in the middle of the day.

22. Embrace the aging process.

Most people wish they could avoid aging, but studies show that we’re happier as we get older. Experts theorize this could be because the older we get, the more we reflect on positive experiences. Sounds like a great reason to love those birthdays.

23. Have a good cry.

It sounds counterintuitive, but it may actually work. Research has found that crying can lead to positive increase in mood following the flow of tears. Those in the study reported feeling better than they did before they had a reason to cry.

24. Follow the “golden ratio.”

This theory, developed by positive psychologist Barbara Fredrickson, holds that for every one negative experience you have, you should have three positive ones in order to achieve happiness. Makes sense to us!

25. Show your appreciation for someone else over email.

Technology isn’t all bad. Take a break from your overflowing inbox and switch gears to a different kind of email. “We fight so hard against the negative and we forget to tell people how powerful a two-minute positive e-mail could be,” Harvard-trained researcher and Before Happiness author Shawn Achor told Oprah in 2014.

26. Give someone else a compliment.

Your generosity will make your day and their’s. Looking for a way to give praise that isn’t superficial? Here are some ideas.

27. Find the perfect temperature.

The weather outside has a direct influence on how we feel on the inside. One study found that happiness is maximized at an approximate 57 degrees Fahrenheit.

28. Keep a one-sentence journal.

Sometimes the most mundane moments turn out to be the loveliest source of happiness. Research shows recording these everyday events may make us happier later on because we appreciate them a lot more when they’re revisited. In other words, if you ate a scrumptious chocolate brownie on Wednesday, write it down.

30. Stop to smell the flowers, literally.

Eau de Happiness? One study on how scent affects joy found that participants who were in a floral-scented room selected three times as many happiness-related terms than negative terms.

31. Have sex.

Here’s a good excuse (not that you need one) to hit the sheets: Research suggests having sex can reduce stress. Of course, how much is up to you. But worth a try, eh?

32. Just TRY being happy.

Can you think yourself to joy? Some researchers believe so. According to two experimental studies, taking happiness into your own hands can boost your well-being.

33. Try to cut back on work.

Residents of Denmark, one of the happiest countries in the world, spend less time than most Americans in the office. Only 2 percent of Danes work long hours, which is categorized as 50 hours per week. And full-time workers still devote 66 percent of their day to self-care, like eating and sleeping. Maybe do as the Danes do?

34. Get spiritual.

Spirituality and religion have been linked to higher happiness and well-being, according to a review of studies on spirituality and health. Sometimes it helps to know you’re connected to something greater than yourself.

35. Celebrate little victories.

There’s power in small moments. Whether it’s getting an answer correct at trivia or catching your favorite song on the radio, indulge in the little “wins” of your day. “I think when we take time to notice the things that go right — it means we’re getting a lot of little rewards throughout the day,” Susan Weinschenk, author of How to Get People to Do Stuff, previously told HuffPost. “That can help with our moods.”

36. Think of happy memories.

Research shows nostalgia makes us happier and more optimistic. Time to dig out those old yearbooks?

37. Skip the small talk and go deep.

Anyone can talk about the weather. Let yourself get a little more connected and have a substantial conversation with someone — research shows it will boost happiness and well-being.

38. Recite a positive mantra.

You can either create your own or find one online (personally, we like these encouraging words). Search for a phrase that’s going to bring meaning to you. Research shows having a mantra can help with bad feelings. Find yours!

39. Spend money on someone else.

Investing in other people really does pay off — for them and for you. According to one 2008 study, spending money on others promotes your own happiness.

40. Become a better listener.

How much do your really pay attention to your conversations? Researchers theorize the more we listen, the happier and more meaningful our lives are — particularly within our relationships. As Epictetus once said, “We have two ears and one mouth so we can listen twice as much as we speak.”

41. Take a selfie.

The next time someone judges you for taking one of those infamous front-facing photos, show them this: A 2016 study found that selfies actually increase confidence and make you happier. Boom.

42. Talk to someone IRL. Put down that phone and log some real FaceTime. Human beings are social creatures (and not just on the internet), so it’s time we tap into those resources. Research shows we simply feel better when we’re around other people.

43. Lower your expectations.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever had a lackluster New Year’s Eve or Valentine’s Day. It’s no secret that expectation can lead to disappointment if the bar is set too high (in fact, research backs this up). We’re not implying that you should set the bar low, but sometimes realistic ideas make you happier in the long run.

44. Look on the bright side.

There are perks to seeing life through a glass half full. Try looking for a silver lining in any situation. Optimists are not only more joyful, they also may live longer. That’s a lot of extra time to be happy.

45. Finally, just look at this smiling face.

Give one (or several) of these a try the next time you’re feeling low. Happiness looks good on you.

13. Get in a good workout.

15. Challenge yourself.

16. Fake a smile.

17. Go outside.

18. Make some new friends.

20. Take a cozy bath (like Barry the dog).

If that isn’t the look of happiness, we don’t know what is. Plus, research suggests that warm baths make us feel warm on the inside, too.

21. Get enough sleep.

22. Embrace the aging process.

23. Have a good cry.

24. Follow the “golden ratio.”

25. Show your appreciation for someone else over email.

26. Give someone else a compliment.

Your generosity will make your day and their’s. Looking for a way to give praise that isn’t superficial? Here are some ideas.

27. Find the perfect temperature.

The weather outside has a direct influence on how we feel on the inside. One study found that happiness is maximized at an approximate 57 degrees Fahrenheit.

28. Keep a one-sentence journal.

30. Stop to smell the flowers, literally.

Eau de Happiness? One study on how scent affects joy found that participants who were in a floral-scented room selected three times as many happiness-related terms than negative terms.

31. Have sex.

Here’s a good excuse (not that you need one) to hit the sheets: Research suggests having sex can reduce stress. Of course, how much is up to you. But worth a try, eh?

32. Just TRY being happy.

Can you think yourself to joy? Some researchers believe so. According to two experimental studies, taking happiness into your own hands can boost your well-being.

33. Try to cut back on work.

34. Get spiritual.

35. Celebrate little victories.

36. Think of happy memories.

Research shows nostalgia makes us happier and more optimistic. Time to dig out those old yearbooks?

37. Skip the small talk and go deep.

Anyone can talk about the weather. Let yourself get a little more connected and have a substantial conversation with someone — research shows it will boost happiness and well-being.

38. Recite a positive mantra.

39. Spend money on someone else.

Investing in other people really does pay off — for them and for you. According to one 2008 study, spending money on others promotes your own happiness.

40. Become a better listener.

41. Take a selfie.

The next time someone judges you for taking one of those infamous front-facing photos, show them this: A 2016 study found that selfies actually increase confidence and make you happier. Boom.

43. Lower your expectations.

44. Look on the bright side.

45. Finally, just look at this smiling face.

Give one (or several) of these a try the next time you’re feeling low. Happiness looks good on you.

45 Ways To Be Happier Instantly

Got joy?

In honor of the International Day of Happiness, we’ve culled expert tips, research and just a few feel-good suggestions of ways to boost your mood. Take a look below:

1. Log some time with your furry friends.

2. Count your blessings.

3. Remind yourself how great you are.

PSA: You are awesome — you just gotta believe it for yourself. Studies show self-acceptance is crucial to a happier life, but it’s a habit we barely practice.

4. Call your mom.

Pick up that phone. Research suggests hearing your mom’s voice can help reduce stress. And less stress means a happier you.

5. Meditate, meditate, meditate.

6. Listen to music.

7. While you’re at it, listen to sad music.

No, really. Studies also suggest listening to sad music can help boost positive feelings. (We just see this as another excuse to listen to Adele on repeat.)

8. Give back.

9. Hang out with someone who is happy.

Joy really is contagious. Research shows the more you surround yourself with positive people, the happier you’ll feel. Time to go catch up with your BFF?

10. Watch a funny video.

Find something that tickles you, watch and let the giggles ensue. Laughter can reduce stress, after all.

11. Plan a vacation.

12. Whip up a good meal.

13. Get in a good workout.
