RADIANT Sound
Music is a way towards meditation and the most beautiful way.    ― Bhagwan Sri Rajneesh (Indian mystic, 20th century)    



RADIANT Sound Music is central to almost all spriritual traditions, from the singing bowls of Tibetan Buddhists, to the lamentations of Jewish cantors, to the hypnotic rhythms of African drumming. It's not hard to understand why. Of all the arts, music has the most immediate and undiluted effect, and speaks most directly to the heart. RADIANT Sound combines the power of music with EEG monitoring by the Muse™ headband, in order to guide you to a more meditative, relaxed, or engaged state.

How does this work? The table above shows the genres and chants within the genres embedded in the app. Rather than listening to a fixed musical sequence, RADIANT sound chooses the current genre and chant from this table based on two factors: how strongly this genre and chant are affecting you now, and how strongly they have affected you in the past. The app determines this for each of the mediative modes, and your only task is to listen with a clear and open mind.





* Binaural beats are generated by the app and consist of the same sound played at slightly different frequencies in each of the ears.
