Music as the Bridge to Mindfulness
In our noisy world, music is the key to inner silence Richard Wolf
first tried Zen meditation in his teens, but no matter in what posture
or for how long he sat, transcendence proved stubbornly out of reach.
It was only years later that he found the bridge that could take him
there: music.In Tune charts twelve “bridges”—skills and sensibilities
refined in musical practice that carry over to mindfulness and
meditation, among them: ·Concentration ·Posture ·Harmony ·Silence ·The
Art of Deep Listening ·Transcending the SelfThis inspirational guide
offers a wealth of music-based exercises to enhance daily meditation
and creativity. Plus, Wolf shares personal anecdotes of eminent
musicians—from Miles Davis to Dr. Dre—to illuminate points along the
intersection of music and mindful living. As you begin to move fluidly
between these two transformative disciplines, you’ll notice the focus,
composure, and peacefulness that comes from practice—as well as the
joys of tuning in to the music all around you, and to the symphony
that plays silently from within.
