Use this music to change your life! The Ancient Masters of the East observed recurring patterns in nature, medicine, music, human affairs, and all aspects of life. They categorized these observations into the Five Phases, or Elements. Each Element holds distinctive characteristics, attributes, tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses, setting it apart from the others. When you listen to the songs, ,you will subconsciously learn the teaching and patterns of the elements. This is not a conscious understanding, because the language is music, not thought. The teachings are all woven into the melodies, harmonies, mantras, orchestration, tension, release, transformation, and other musical elements, while maintaining the perfect tempo and timing for meditation and practice. Use this music for meditation and stillness. Each song is five minutes: Sit in stillness for just one song each day, and you will reap the benefits of this practice. The tempo is one beat per second: The bell rings every four seconds. Listen for the bell, when you hear it, inhale. When you hear it again, exhale. Use the bell to regulate your breath. Do not anticipate the bell. Relax and breathe When practicing qigong, yoga, tai chi, wait for the bell to go onto your next movement. This will add an element of timing and natural rhythm to your discipline. Jason Campbell was trained as a child in the musical arts, meditation, martial arts, yoga and qigong.
