Music to Quiet the Mind
On Saturday I received my copy of Eckhart Tolle’s “Music to Quiet the Mind” a hand-selected collection of Eckhart’s favorite pieces. It is a wonderful compilation of soothing calming music. Eckhart has great taste in Music. Infact Eckhart is the one who introduced me to Kirtana an artist whom I really enjoy.
So what is actually on this album ?
1 Incantation – Deva Premal
2 Now is Forever – Kip Mazuy
3 Heavens’ Door – Jeff Johnson
4 Gnossienne3 – Helvia Briggen and Djamel Ghezali featuring Praful
5 Joyful Spirit – David Sun
6 Threshold Between Worlds – Benjy Wertheimer
7 Om Hraum Mitraya – Deva Premal
8 Wisdom and Compassion – Nawang Khechog
9 Clair De Lune – Martin Jones
10 Structures From Silence (excerpt) – Steve Roach
11 Let it Be – Maneesh de Moor
I recommend this collection if your looking for high quality calming music. It is available at Eckhart’s web site here.

Back in August of 08, I introduced Meditator a little iPhone app project for a simple meditation timer for iPhone and iPod touch. I asked many of you for your help and feedback to make it even better. Today I am pleased to show you a preview of what is to come in Meditator 2.0. It is in the form of a new product I have released called Meditate. Meditate is a start of the next version of Meditator, but has some great benefits you can take advantage of today.
1) the sound engine is now re-designed to allow interruption free meditation
2) Time settings can be set in finer increments, 1 min. vs. 5 mins.
3) If your interrupted or quit out of Meditate you can resume where you left off.
4) If you pause your session, you can resume with Preparation time.
5) Meditate tracks your meditation statistics.

The Full Video from this weeks podcast
Can we truthfully say we did not exist before our birth? What will become of us after death? Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh addresses our ideas about life and death and how we can release these debilitating notions and get in touch with our true nature, the nature of no birth and no death. We have the tendency to think dualistically: coming and going, birth and death, same and different, being and non-being. Such opposing ideas are merely mental constructions that do not reflect the true nature of reality. Life arises when conditions are sufficient and fades when conditions are no longer sufficient. But we cannot say life and death oppose one another—they “inter-are.” “The teaching of no birth, no death,” says Thich Nhat Hanh, “is the cream of the Buddha’s teachings.”

The Time Paradox
Are you Past, Present or Future Oriented?
What if your attitudes toward time could explain why you are chronically late, why you’re likely to fight for rainforest preservation, or why you might be predisposed to addictions?
Philip Zimbardo, renowned for his notorious 1971 Stanford Prison Experiments, will discuss how internal time perspectives determine every single one of our thoughts, feelings and actions.
He even makes the case that attitudes toward time can influence national destinies.
