I am an astrobiologist, sci-fi geek, and professor of everything groovy. I write about science, culture, math, history, space, and science fiction. Perhaps like you, I'm seeking a greater understanding of the nature of life and asking myself why all of this really matters. Come with me, and we'll ask some questions together.

Meditation with Didgeridoo and Singing Bowls
Two instruments that I've found to have the best ambience for my meditations are the didgeridoo and the singing bowl. Two instruments, both with deep ancestral symbolism for two specific human cultures (Aboriginal Australian for the didgeridoo and ancient Tibetan for the singing bowl), that produce sounds that seem to evoke thoughts of the universe, of the Earth, of our biosphere, and of the depths of our human existence. If any of you are like me and enjoy these instruments when you're looking to entertain specific thoughts, to take a mental journey somewhere else, or even just to focus on the here and now and let your thoughts pass by, then you might enjoy the two videos below that mix the didgeridoo and singing bowls together (the first is really short, the second is pretty long):
Through meditation, we can learn to make our mind calmer and peaceful.
