I recently read in a book that we are or at least the majority of people on this world, compulsive thinkers. I have never thought about it but it does make a lot of sense. How many of you manage consciously to turn off their flow of thoughts, to shut down the brain for 5,10, 15 minutes per day?

Use it as if it's a tool that helps you in your work and once you are done give it a rest. As simple as it sounds I find this extremely difficult to achieve and a lot of practice is actually required. However, this song by Aether brings me one step closer. It is a peaceful down-tempo&instrumental melody that relaxes you at least for the time spent listening to it. Have heart, give your brain some quiet time. You can download the compilation released by Ten Million Sounds or pay for it and the money will be donated to Smile Train!
