In Tune: Music as the Bridge to Mindfulness

"A manual for achieving calm in a tumultuous world" this meditation method uses music to become "more aware of all the ambient clutter of daily life. (The New Yorker). In our noisy world, music is the key to inner silence. Richard Wolf first tried Zen meditation in his teens, but no matter in what posture or for how long he sat, transcendence proved stubbornly out of reach. It was only years later that he found the bridge that could take him there: music. In Tune charts twelve "bridges" —skills and sensibilities refined in musical practice that carry over to mindfulness and meditation, among them:

- Concentration - Posture - Harmony - Silence - The Art of Deep Listening - Transcending the Self This inspirational guide offers a wealth of music-based exercises to enhance daily meditation and creativity. Plus, Wolf shares personal anecdotes of eminent musicians—from Miles Davis to Dr. Dre—to illuminate points along the intersection of music and mindful living. As you begin to move fluidly between these two transformative disciplines, you'll notice the focus, composure, and peacefulness that comes from practice—as well as the joys of tuning in to the music all around you, and to the symphony that plays silently from within. "This bestselling book has literally been a guide for many musicians and top music industry insiders. . . . A great read for any musician!" —Parade "Readers with even slight musical background will enjoy Wolf's sharp, useful suggestions to make mindfulness a more achievable goal." —Publishers Weekly "The techniques, key steps, and commentary that Wolf provides in each chapter as he blends music and meditation together will prove beneficial to the reader who wants to cross these bridges for a more meaningful mindfulness." —New York Journal of Books
