Wood Thrush singing - New Jersey
There are many songs of the woodland songbirds that I love to hear each Spring but most likely the song of the Wood Thrush is the one that always brings me joy and peace while wandering around the forests of the Northern New Jersey.
Here is an interesting fact about these birds:
“During his three-part song, a male actually sings pairs of notes simultaneously, which harmonize and blend to produce ringing, ethereal tones.
The Wood Thrush's complex song begins with several low, almost inaudible notes, followed by the rising, flute-like ee-oh-lay, finishing with a complex trill. Each bird can sing unique versions of each song part, and one male can easily sing over 50 distinct songs!” - source: American Bird Conservancy

The benefits of Tibetan singing bowl meditation
Increase the impact of yoga and meditation
Singing bowls are a lovely addition to your wellness practices. The sound vibrations can deepen meditation and yoga sessions by promoting relaxation and present-moment awareness. Studies show that the sound produced by singing bowls lessens tension, which make it easier to enter a meditative state.
Promote emotional balance
The science is clear: Tibetan singing bowl meditation is an effective, low-cost intervention for reducing feelings of anxiety and depression while enhancing spiritual well-being. Part of the improvement has to do with the bowl’s effect on brainwaves, promoting a more tranquil and balanced condition.
Reduce daily stress
In addition to balancing emotions, singing bowls are great for stress reduction, supported by research in the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine. Tibetan singing bowl meditations are shown to decrease tension in the body associated with stress.
Improve physical health
The regular use of singing bowls doesn’t just improve mental health. It’s also linked to many physical health benefits, including:
lower blood pressure and heart rate
improved immune system response
better respiratory rate
Alter brainwave activity and deepen concentration
The positive impact of meditative music on brainwave activity is well-researched — and singing bowls are no exception. Play or listen to singing bowl meditations to help:
focus and concentration
mental clarity
daily productivity
Focus even more deeply with brainwave entrainment meditation tracks.
Balance chakras and clear energy
The frequencies produced by singing bowls can help balance our chakras, clearing any blockages in our energy centers that accumulate over time. With proper energy flow through our chakras, we can experience more profound spiritual growth.
Use singing bowls to enhance mindfulness practices
Now that you know how to find the right singing bowl for your practice, and how to properly use your singing bowl, you’re ready to experience this ancient meditative tradition from the Himalayas for yourself!

A night or two ago after several solid days of storms, the heat and humidity arrived and turn the Tree Frogs on BIG TIME!!! The shear number of them outside was almost deafening. I was surprised this one was as cooperative as it was for letting me light it with a flashlight for a photo.
