n.o.w. Tone Therapy, by Solu. The Evolution of Peace.

It's 160 bucks for 2 little speakers that claims from some its reviews that you achieve 20 minutes worth of meditation in 3 minutes. I would say you get 10 minutes worth of GOOD meditation from 3 minutes, 20 minutes worth of so-so meditation in 3 minutes. Absolutely buy this. Read on for my story.3 years ago I started having very bad sleep due to stressors in my life. I would sleep and it would feel like I thought all night. It was as if I didn't sleep. I never felt rested and my mind and body would be weak as a result. I was in a constant state of tiredness and it would reset every night when my sleep quality was terrible. I tried OTC sleep meds, I tried not using them, I tried CBD, alcohol just to knock me out and the quality was terrible.Finally I discovered Sam Harris and his praise of meditation and bought his app for a year. The first time I meditated for 10 minutes (which was at bedtime), right before the 10 minute mark I felt this incredible urge to sleep and slept like a baby for the first time in a very long time. I knew my problems then stemmed from an unclean room (my mind). I likened my mind to an unclean room and every now and then I felt the need to clean it up through meditation.For the next 3 subsequent years I'd meditate on and off. It was difficult to get to a meditative state in the original 10 minutes, and I would require 20+ minutes of meditation for a result I wanted, and even that wasn't guaranteed because of my stubbornness to dedicate enough time to meditation. In that regard, if you allocate enough time and get what you need out of meditation, you don't necessarily need this product.I then searched on amazon for this device that vibrates and it's a bracelet/anklet and it helped bring you into the moment, but it wasn't sold on amazon, however this turned up. I had some amazon gift card credit and figured I could return this when it absolutely didn't work and I'd move on and try other things. The problem was that it did work. VERY well. The vibration, the sounds with no pattern, the quality of the speakers, it drives the tones into your head and you immediately get transported to a blank, mindful head-space. Suddenly you hear the sounds in the room, you notice the objects in the room you didn't before, you notice the sunlight hitting everything. It works, and it's 3 minutes. I often run it back to back, up to 3 times, if I want to guarantee a good meditation session, but since buying this and using it before bed, I have slept consistently amazingly. I wish it wasn't 160 buck but I am absolutely not returning it. Although I wish I wanted to.

I thoroughly enjoy these mini magical music pucks! The sound quality is absolutely fantastic and I love the calming Tibetan bowl tones that gently wash over me. The way the sound resonates between my ears and through my brain is eargasmic! Think ASMR meets meditation. It's almost like I become one with the tones and vibrations. Why did I buy these little speakers? I didn't NEED them. Oh, yeah...it's because I have so much tension, stress and anxiety I thought that I might enjoy a little daily relaxation break! Yes, they were pricey. Will I send them back because I feel guilty for spending so much on a luxury item? Nope. I have had them for nearly a week and I've fallen in love with these puppies! I would be sad if I sent them back. Honestly, I don't know of any other item that would compare to this experience - headphones are not the same nor is just listening to singing bowls on a regular speaker. The closest comparison is watching Tibetan singing bowls on YouTube on my Oculus. Even that does not provide the same experience.I knew when I bought the n.o.w. system that they only played for 3 minutes at a time. I understand that's they way the inventor wanted it and he has his reasons. BUT, like so many people on here have mentioned, 3 minutes is not long enough and I always want more time. There is a workaround for that issue if you look in the question/answer section on Amazon. I did this and now they play for a long time. I don’t know how long because I haven’t listened long enough bey it’s been 40 min and still chiming. My apologies to the inventor for hacking them, buy I like it a lot better now that it plays longer.I think the n.o.w. system is fantastic. It provides a wonderful calming effect. While using n.o.w., I feel like I can let go and lose myself in the tones. Quite enjoyable!

I've started using N.O.W. as part of my daily practice. The tones are soothing, and interplay nicely between the ears when placed either side of the head. I used them at about 1-2ft away in a quiet room. Any closer and they are too loud for me. But this will depend on your background noise level.N.O.W. is a great tool for a quick meditation when you feel like you don't have time for a long sit. I'd say that's their biggest feature; They are kind of like the fast food of meditation, in a good way. They allow me to keep my practice going when life's walls a squeezing in and stealing my time.They feel solid, like they will survive a few knocks. And they are quite aesthetically pleasing too.The SD cards inside are MSDOS32 format, and open on a Mac without any extra software. On the SD card you can see the .wav files and even add your own. This is a great feature, that I hope they will keep, as it will allow me to record wind chimes, and other sounds I would like to meditate to. The .wav format is 44.1khz 16bit (CD quality). This quality sounds absolutely fine for this application, though higher quality would be preferred.Things to improve:- Add more volume levels (I would like an ultra-quiet level for using at night).- Provide additional sound packs for people to purchase and download.- Allow 196khz 24bit wav files, for an ultra-high quality audio experience. (May not be possible with the current hardware.
