Copland describes them as the sensuous plane, the expressive plane, and the sheerly musical plane. The reasoning for listening to music for the pure rhythm and harmony is the sensuous plane. The sensuous plane is where “one turns on the radio while doing something else and absent mindedly is engendered by the mere sound and appeal of the music” (Copland). People who apply this plane to their life tend to listen to music as a release.…

    Today was my second time using the Muse™ headset. The last time I used the headset I had a very enjoyable experience and I truly believe it helped me better understand how to calm my mind. I crushed it with a total of 49 birds in a short 10-minute meditation, so this time I had hopes of achieving even higher levels. I decided that I would change up the sounds that I would hear from the muse. Instead of the traditional rainforest landscape, I chose a nice relaxing beach to accompany me through meditation.…
