It may turn out that the actual harmonics differ from person to person, but for me, reaching what I'm tentatively calling "The Compassion Barrier" came when the Spectral peak closest to, but below 9hz reaches up around 1.0vrms, and Internal Coherence reaches above 140% on the Heart Tuner's scale.

"The Compassion Barrier" is the point where the feeling of "Bliss" or "Eureka" or "Oneness" becomes unbearable. (Imagine unbearable happiness!) I believe this barrier can be…

The workshop I presented yesterday on "Quieting Performance Anxiety Through Music Improvisation", which is based on my book, "Toward The Zen Of Performance", went extremely well, and was very enthusiastically received! Students of all woodwind instruments (some 25 or so) all participated in various improvisational exercises directed at quieting the analytical mind, and were really into the participation. I hope other Universities or music-training schools will…

What Parkinsons teaches us about the brain

Those of you who attended the Music, Science and Medicine Conference I organized and hosted this past March at the New York Academy of Sciences heard Dr. Jay Alberts speak in person.  Here's today's article on his work -- enjoy.

In this screenshot, note the fourth peak from the left. This seems to be the harmonic connection between the thinking mind and the feeling heart, that hovers between 7.5 and 9 cycles per second (hz) Look at how far off…
