n.o.w. Tone Therapy System, by Solu. The Evolution of Peace. Meditation Device to Ignite Compassion, Manifestation and Awakening

I bought these almost a year ago, and I've been meaning to post a review ever since, something I rarely do; but I think they are extraordinary. So extraordinary that I've bought three pairs, and given each of two to different close friends, who all love them as much as I do. Where do I start? First of all, I enjoy having them as OBJECTS. Their weight (rather substantial for their small size), rugged consrtruction, and silvery beauty are what makes them more effective than any recording of chimes or prayer bowel "music" I could have on my phone, computer or iPad. I have experimented with sound quality and volume using different environments for these two attractive discs. The only way to change the volume on each is the second little button, which can be pushed twice, each push increasing the volume. But there there also are other ways to affect both the volume and the tone quality of the chimes. For example, I have a plastic box that I currently keep them in, separated from each other by about 4 inches. The vibrations of the box increase the volume of the discs, and for me that is a plus. Depending upon where you put them, the tonal quality of the sound is different. If I put them on the couch, the material absorbs some of the sound, and a clean, not very loud sound is produced. If, on the other hand, I put them on a glass table top, the sound is larger and the quality more "echo-y."The other great thing about them is that the automatic 3-minute soundscapes they produce change endlessly. Every "melody" is a new one. What is more, these devices have a hellavuh battery, because they only need to be recharged every few months.Mostly I use them just before sleep. The moment those tones begin, my consciousness becomes part of them. Inevitably during a session, my mind wanders, but as soon as I become aware of not listening to them, my mind returns to listening. You need to stay loose about that. Any rigid attempt to "pay attention" won't relax you, so these mini-departures from listening feel natural and right. By the end of 3 minutes, the tension in my neck, shoulders, back, and legs starts to ease up. There's no occult mystery here. I went through a period quite a few years ago when I wanted to find out everything I could about hypnotism. What I learned is that hypnotism is just a method of distracting the focus of your consciousness.Despite current claims of multitasking, the brain can really only focus on one thing at a time, so, in hypnosis, the therapist will often have you stare at a spot on the wall, or even a small bright object swinging back and forth in front of your eyes like a pendulum. Once your mind becomes fixed on such minimal sensory input, the tensed muscles in your body, which are caused by anxious thoughts, probably without your realizing it, suddenly find themselves free of being told what to do by your perverse thoughts, and they let go, returning to their natural state of relaxation. Your muscles relax, because they've been released from the anxious thoughts that were making them tense up. You can't think those thoughts because your mind if fixed to a point on the wall or the movements of a swinging pendulum.I believe these chimes do the same thing, and this is such a pleasant experience!

These are amazing. They sound fantastic and are so well made. I love that it's only 3 minutes, because that's about how long I try to sit in "silence" so it works perfectly for me! I also downloaded their app for times when I want to listen longer, however the speakers are much more effective for me, I can feel the vibration and love that clean, clear sound.

It's 160 bucks for 2 little speakers that claims from some its reviews that you achieve 20 minutes worth of meditation in 3 minutes. I would say you get 10 minutes worth of GOOD meditation from 3 minutes, 20 minutes worth of so-so meditation in 3 minutes. Absolutely buy this. Read on for my story.3 years ago I started having very bad sleep due to stressors in my life. I would sleep and it would feel like I thought all night. It was as if I didn't sleep. I never felt rested and my mind and body would be weak as a result. I was in a constant state of tiredness and it would reset every night when my sleep quality was terrible. I tried OTC sleep meds, I tried not using them, I tried CBD, alcohol just to knock me out and the quality was terrible.Finally I discovered Sam Harris and his praise of meditation and bought his app for a year. The first time I meditated for 10 minutes (which was at bedtime), right before the 10 minute mark I felt this incredible urge to sleep and slept like a baby for the first time in a very long time. I knew my problems then stemmed from an unclean room (my mind). I likened my mind to an unclean room and every now and then I felt the need to clean it up through meditation.For the next 3 subsequent years I'd meditate on and off. It was difficult to get to a meditative state in the original 10 minutes, and I would require 20+ minutes of meditation for a result I wanted, and even that wasn't guaranteed because of my stubbornness to dedicate enough time to meditation. In that regard, if you allocate enough time and get what you need out of meditation, you don't necessarily need this product.I then searched on amazon for this device that vibrates and it's a bracelet/anklet and it helped bring you into the moment, but it wasn't sold on amazon, however this turned up. I had some amazon gift card credit and figured I could return this when it absolutely didn't work and I'd move on and try other things. The problem was that it did work. VERY well. The vibration, the sounds with no pattern, the quality of the speakers, it drives the tones into your head and you immediately get transported to a blank, mindful head-space. Suddenly you hear the sounds in the room, you notice the objects in the room you didn't before, you notice the sunlight hitting everything. It works, and it's 3 minutes. I often run it back to back, up to 3 times, if I want to guarantee a good meditation session, but since buying this and using it before bed, I have slept consistently amazingly. I wish it wasn't 160 buck but I am absolutely not returning it. Although I wish I wanted to.
