Description
Our world is brimming with sound: from the detonation of distant thunder to the drip, drip drip of a rusty drainpipe. Once we’ve been shown how to listen more attentively and creatively, we can access a deeper, more lasting meditation. Our thoughts, dreams and daydreams might be carried along a stream of birdsong, or punctuated by a rush of unexpected laughter. Learning about sound––where, how and why it comes into being––is learning about the world itself.
In Mindfulness in Sound, Mark Tanner encourages us to consider afresh the origins of resonance and the wider impact of natural sound in our daily lives. Through simple meditations, he shows us how we can become more receptive to a hinterland of beautiful as well as challenging noise, and tune into the soundtrack of our own imagination. As we consider the nature of sound––and the sound of nature––we will find ourselves connected more vibrantly to the world we live in and to a more sustainable inner peace.

Mindfulness in Sound brings people to look at meditation in a different light. It's not always about blocking out externals to be more relaxed but to let everything in and be more in tune with the given moment. Filled with many exercises to help, i would recommend for people interested in meditation.

This entire series has been outstanding in my opinion. Each book shows how to incorporate mindfulness in your daily life with things that are already there.
Unlike the books in the series that have specific activities focused (for example, MINDFULNESS IN CRAFTING is, of course, about incorporating it into crafting), MINDFULNESS IN SOUND takes on how to incorporate mindfulness from the world around us all the time. There are exercises to really see how this works. I think my favorite exercise was the one that involved recording your own meditation background soundtrack.
