Trail of Daydreams

I’ve been using an app lately that chimes a meditation bell at random intervals throughout the day.
Why? Because studies have shown that people are substantially less happy when their minds are wandering than when they’re not, and being mindfully present is highly correlated with greater happiness.
Knowing this, I want to practice being present in the present moment more often.
The random bell reminds me to get out of my head, out of the future, out of the past, out of worrying and anxiety, and come back to presence.
It’s kind of miraculous what a difference it makes in my life.
That said, just like this little green critter, I still love to daydream!

Warning: If you like “pretty” sounds, this one may not be for you! It is VERY experimental and “out there.”
That said, I had a ton of fun making it. 🙂 And if you like avant garde music or Free Jazz, it could just be up your alley.
(Personally, I used to just roll my eyes at that music. I didn’t understand it, and didn’t like it one bit! Thanks largely to the opportunity to study with Art Lande at Jazz Camp West for several summer, where I got to make that kind of music, however, I’ve grown to appreciate it, understand it better, and really love it!)
