"Music for Inner Stillness"
Eckhart Tolle
A CD Giveaway!
Stillness is our essential nature, says Eckhart Tolle. And yet many of us who struggle with getting our mind quiet, much less completely still, might disagree, for that has not been our experience—at least up until now. Music can help us access stillness, maintains Tolle, and because he believes it can, this best-selling, self-help author has handpicked pieces of music that help us do that.
But, first, what actually is "stillness" actually according to Tolle? He describes it as: "The inner space or awareness in which the words on this page are being perceived and become thoughts. Without that awareness, there would be no perception, no thoughts, no world."
He goes on to say in an article titled, "Stillness Speaks" --"You are that awareness, disguised as a person. When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world. Your innermost sense of self, of who you are, is inseparable from stillness. This is the I Am that is deeper than name and form."
Gathering together gifted musicians, placing their music in a specific sequence that promotes stillness, Tolle (in conjunction with his publisher, Sounds True) has created a new album that invites is into what he calls “the joy of being.” Artists include Grammy-nominated Tibetan flutist Nawang Khechog, ambient composer and sound healer Alex Theory, Grand Master of the shakuhachi flute Riley Lee, and others.
You can listen to selections from the album HERE.
