Rituals for Being In Tune: Music as the Bridge to Mindfulness

AromaThrive with Lisa

Discover how to use sound - and silence - to lead you into relaxation. I speak with producer Richard "Wolfie" Wolf about how meditating has supported him in his career as an Emmy-Award-Winning music composer for TV and Film. Wolf is the author of "In Tune: Music as the Bridge to Mindfulness." He also teaches mindfulness to students at USC's Thornton School of Music and in this podcast he will share with you simple exercises for meditating and will lead a mindfulness exercise at the end of the conversation. Wolf suggests that listening to calming music - and continuing to listen to silence (ambient sound) once the music ends - can help draw you into a meditative state. We breathed in the aromas of tangerine and peppermint essential oils at the beginning of this podcast - and reflected on how essential oils can also be a gateway into mindfulness and meditation.
