LISTENING
\n<\/strong>The sound meditations included on this books CD\u2019s are invitations to turn inward with sound.
\nThese meditations are designed to redirect your attention from hearing to unconditional and objectless listening, and to observe the subtle experiencing itself, rather than the experiences. And loose yourself in the sound of stillness.<\/p>\n

The sound book contains two audio CD\u2019s. The one more sound orientated and the other more music centered:<\/em><\/p>\n

– Hymn To The Silence<\/em><\/strong>
\n<\/em><\/strong>This piece starts with undivided silence. As the first cause you hear the gong, which continues and takes form as sound, and then it unfolds slowly into a colorful creation.
\n\u2018Hymn To The Silence\u2019 is performed by cello, contrabass, didgeridoo, choir, percussion, soprano, native American flute, gongs, crystal bowls as well as meditation bowls from the Himalayas.<\/p>\n

Listen to a compilation of this composition:<\/em><\/p>\n\n

 <\/p>\n

– Call & Response
\n<\/em><\/strong>In this piece we hear the stillness that conducts a dialogue with itself, which causes creation. In a game of call and response, question and answer, the undisbursed stillness is always present in the peace and space between words and sound.
\n\u2018Call & Response\u2019 was performed on piano, percussion, gongs, crystal bowls and meditation bowls from the Himalayas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

READING & LOOKING
\n<\/strong>
\n<\/a>Just as you can listen and look without naming things, you can also read by bringing your attention back to the act of reading itself. Thoughts and feelings will respond naturally. Follow them without dwelling on their content too closely. Observe this game without judgment.
\nRealise that there is not a ‘somebody’ doing that. No one here and no one there.\u00a0Isn’t it amazing?<\/em>
\n(You can find some sample pages of the book\u00a0and the introduction by clicking on the picture of the gong >>>)<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

The Hymns Ensemble
\n<\/em><\/strong>The Hymns Ensemble is a group of professional musicians and audio-adepts who are regularly invited by Harry van Dalen (Spirit Connection) for the Manifest & the Unmanifest sound concerts and the Sound Experience music meditations of Spirit Connection.<\/p>\n

Silence SMILES
\n<\/em><\/strong>Members of\u00a0the Hymns Ensemble<\/em>\u00a0were invited to the studio in varying combinations, and at different moments to take part in this Silence SMILES adventure. There wasn\u2019t much of a framework. The main idea was to focus on making room for stillness, sound and music. The intention was to be inspired in and by the moment, and to transcend the personal playfully.
\nThis explains the title, Silence SMILES, the stillness with which impersonal love invites you in with laughter.<\/p>\n
