Last night I was listening to singular Tibetan Bowls I just recorded. (I am making a series of tracks that can be used for meditation on these simple tones.) I was drawn in by the simplicity of the tones, letting myself fully soak in the undulating rhythms and frequencies they produced. I have heard these bowls hundreds of times, but the act of listening back to these recordings was like hearing them for first time. The simplicity of the sounds inspired a new awareness of all of the characteristics of those sounds, and a new appreciation of the components and parts that make up each sound.
I was talking to a friend last week who felt run in a million different directions. Sometimes I get that way too, and I realize now, it's up to ME to simplify. To focus my awareness on the important parts. To cut out things that are distractions...(and I have found that a lot of these distractions are actually created when MY mind is cluttered.) As much as I would like to multitask, I've noticed I can really only focus on one thing at a time. ..and I notice it's important to not only focus my efforts, but also focus my mind. Let go of the to do list in my head and to truly tune into to BEING with what I'm DOING.
I notice that I actually get a LOT more done this way, and feel better, more grounded, more focused, and more relaxed about it. I've also noticed the more I pay attention to the present moment (and let go of my agenda), the more I am open to the little gifts and synchronicities that life is trying to give to me that actually make my life easier and more balanced.
I'll post the single tibetan bowl meditations soon here:

Just a personal note: There is nothing new under the sun. I am just attempting to present info. here that has helped me. I hope to present it in a clear way based on my experience with anxiety which was a spiritual, psychological and emotional awakening for me. In retrospect of this experience I have been reading as much as I could to come to a deeper and more grounded understanding of this seemingly mystical thing that happened to me (so that I could share it with you). I'm not a doctor or a scientist. Please know this is only my experience. Yours will obviously be different, but since my experience was so similar to others I've talked to, I am hoping this may be helpful or useful to you in some way. It's also a way that I hope to share the love with you. That is my purpose here.
